I am so excited!
This may have something to do with the fact that yesterday, I got my period (which is ridiculous at 55), so something finally changed. (And I thought I was done with this, perhaps losing wreight has been releasing hormones from my tissues).
In any case, this just goes to show that NOT QUITTING a healthy program eventually works. Today, I go to work out, to keep this going.
I know how hard it is to stay focused when the scale is not rewarding your efforts (usually too hard for me 
) -- that's great that you've perservered!
