Thanks everyone love this site for all the love and support

What do you tell people that tell you that you have lost enough weight when you tell them you still have a goal to be 20lbs smaller sometimes I get really discourage with all the negative comments such as your getting to skinny etc.....

Ladies I believe anything is possible with hard work and exercise it's been 9+ months and I'm down 98 pounds and have 10 pounds until I'm at goal just keep your eyes on the prize no matter what good luck
