reached my goal!
 

ok, so, i've been on the south beach diet about six months, and yesterday, i weighed myself and i was 119 pounds -- that's a pound UNDER my long term goal.

now, i've never ever been at a good weight before, i was even a chubby toddler, so being in the maintence phase is already pretty scary for me. ****, i'm not even sure i'm ready to be in the maintence stage yet. (if i was, why would it be hard to find boots wide enough for my calves???)

but anyway, here are my before/after pix:

<P>here is a picture of me at a friend's birthday party, from a year and a half ago (and a while before i started the diet, actually.).</P>
<P>(this is me at around 170.)</P>
