    Today I had a Gyn appt. It is WAY overdue, but at least I got it done.

    I had to do all the usual - fill out forms, pee in a cup, have blood pressure taken and be weighed.

    I stepped on the scale fully clothed and with shoes on. I weighed 177. That is the lightest I have weighed on a scale in a doctor's office since before my college admission's physical in 1988. Then, fully clothed (not sure if I had shoes on or not), I weighed 179. That was close to 24 years ago! I remember feeling so fat at that weight. Now, being 177 feels victorious.

    I'm not done with this journey, but even if I maintained this weight forever and ever, I'm so much better off than where I have been.

    did your doctor cheer for you??

    mine did when i went in and was only down 30 pounds from the previous visit. it was wonderful especially since she looks like tinkerbell.

    congrats on your progress, and for getting to the doctor!

    AWESOME. My first thought was what konfyoozed said....did your doctor totally cheer for you, jump up and down and shriek with excitement? I would have.....
