      You are both too sweet! Thanks a bunch. Kathy, that's my sweet and supportive hubby....and I think he's a keeper too :) The kind words help tremendously for me as I still struggle with the mirror.

      Girl, be proud of the size eight!! I was more than happy there (I hadn't seen that since I left middle school!). We are very close number wise. You have done great! I have been sitting here at 156 for about a month. I revved up my running and my body apparently thinks I should stay at this weight now. I am not going to sweat the last six pounds. I am healthy and happy right here.

  7. I hit 199.6 on the scale last night and then woke up this morning to 198.4! I'm so happy today (and it's my 14th wedding anniversary too!). Being under 200 lbs. is such a wonderful feeling, plus it means I've lost 50% of my excess weight. Here's to a fab day!!

  9. NSV today!!! They used a "normal" adult blood pressure cuff today at the doctor's office! First time since I was 20!

      I know! To most it probably seems like nothing but to me, I was so happy! I even asked the nurse, "Is that a regular BP cuff?" She looked at me like I had two heads or something. It made my day though! Ahhhhh, the little things indeed. :)

      Haha! I am kind of obsessive about getting my proteins and water. Guess it helps a lot! Thanks again!

  15. I logged in this morning to update my weight and realized I'm only 3 lbs. from having lost 1/3 of the excess weight I need to lose to meet my goal. I got a little teary-eyed at the magnitude of that accomplishment. I struggled for so long pre-surgery to make any weight loss progress, that this seems like a miracle. I know I still have a long way to go, but I actually have real hope that I will be able to reach my goal this year. It's rather wonderfully overwhelming. :)

      So proud of you! It is an amazing accomplishment!
