After dancing around it for weeks, I am glad to say that I, Elizabeth, have lost...

100 POUNDS!

I am so happy! I can't believe it!!! Last night I fit into jeans from my sophomore year of high school and AH. It's so exciting. I'm on Cloud 9 right now!

One "reward" idea is a salon trip - cut color style - then maybe a pedicure and/or manicure - that is sure to brighten your day - then be sure to go out with friends that night so you can show off your look! Hit the thrift stores in the meantime for clothes that fit - i went the other day for the first time since my 100 pounds off and got 10 shirts/sweaters plus a bunch of brand new hair accessories and a really awesome denim jacket for spring that fits perfect - all for 43.00 - well worth it!!!!

Allison kudos to you for your weight loss and a great idea from you and other's here re: thrift shops while we go through this ever evolving transformation. Having said that, I think I have a "treasure trove" of clothes in all different sizes in the back of my closet, my attic, and who knows where else. :-) I might have to spend some time rummaging through and sizing them accordingly as I slowly melt down in sizes.

I, too, have a goal set for spring to see a hair sylist/colorist for a new "do".

Back to the thrift shop, I can't wait to drop off my larger sizes for someone who can use them and make room in my closet for my thinner clothes.
