I have now lost 25 big ones, and I'm feeling so great about it.

I revised my goal from 140 to 135 a few weeks ago, just to make it an even 100 lbs . And that means I am 1/4 of my way there! 1/2 way to 50 lbs! And so freakin' close to Onederland, I can taste it! I've also lost 18 inches all over my body (I measure EVERYTHING once a week), which is really strange... I've lost a foot and a half! And 4.4 BMI pts!

I wish I had pictures, but alas, no digital camera (or camera at all). I'm planning on buying one after the holidays to track my progress.

Edited to add: I measure my neck, upper arm, forearm, wrist, ribcage, waist, lovehandles, hips, thighs, and calves. Those 18 inches are from the past 10 lbs. I wasn't taking measurements at my highest weight. I'd love to have them, but the chances of me gaining it back, just so I can know, are about the same an ice cube has in ****. Not gonna happen!

That IS awesome. I'm so happy for you. Your excitedness (is that a word?) is contagious. You've got me psyched. Our goals ARE attainable!!! And you'll be in Onederland before you know it -

That is just fantabulous - (I couldn't decide to use fantastic or fabulous so I used both ) Well done hun, you've done brilliantly and have such a great attitude. You're a winner for sure

Congrats Hun!!! thats soooooo exciting!~!!~~~!!!

Great progress!! Keep up the wonderful work!!

Thanks for all the kind words, gals!!

It's amazing; how at first losing the weight seemed so freaking intimidating and now it just seems doable. I feel totally confident that I can and WILL do this.

Congratulations...it's hard work,but well worth it...Vicki

Good Job!
