You guys are the only people in the whole world I can share this with (except my husband)... Nobody knows I had surgery and they wouldn't understand my excitement anyway....

I did it!! I'm below 200!!!!!!!!!! I haven't been here in years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I"m so happy!!! Ignore the bad nails and the hairy toes (which I did not know were hairy until this moment). Anyway I'm stoked beyond belief!!!!!

OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for letting me share!

Oh Ruthie, that's so great!!!!! Many people here understand the exhileration you are experiencing right now. You go girl, that's sooooo cooool!!!! I kinda know how you feel, I dropped below three myself a few weeks ago. It's the most amazing feeling in the world and it only gets better. The further you get from that 2 the happier you will feel and you'll actually start to believe it's real and not just a fluke.

What a great thread and thank you for sharing. Great news is always welcome here.

Happy Holidays

Cindy
