Because I have a mini goal of two more pounds by July 1!! Then it's on to the 130s. Once I'm there, it's a new pair of summer sandals for me.

Because I'm able to control my blood pressure with a good diet.

Because I have two weddings this weekend that are going to be very tempting.

Because I'm on the road to onederland!

Because if I don't, I'll never get to see how good being thinner feels--and I'm looking forward to that feeling!

Because I just can't allow myself to give up!!!

Because I didn't derail from having a plateau, and today the scale dropped. I'm so close to Onederland, I hope it keeps going!

Because I'm remembering how good it feels to see the scale go down again!

I will stay on plan today because I'm fed up. My ankles keep swelling and I don't know why.
But I won't throw all this hard work away.

Because I want to be out of these darn 3's once and for all

Because as of today, I am closer to 200 than I am to 300 and I'd very much like to keep it that way!

Ruby- you're so close! You've got this, girl.

Rox- Congrats on reaching 249. For me, that's when it really felt real for the first time. Once I got there, I knew it was possible to get all the way to goal.

because I am back home in my food comfort zone - so I can eat healthfully with fewer distractions
