I am elated and in awe that I am at 390, while I was heavier it seemed impossible to get below 400, but I am grateful I'm below 400. My next goal is below 300, then 200, then I want to stop somewhere between 150 and 169lbs. Any hoo, on to the NSV:

1. My Christmas present was new clothes because all of my 7x, 6x, 5x shirts and 42 and 44 pants are way too big, I can now fit a 22/24 sweater comfortably and 26 jeans, before I couldn't get one leg into the avenue's largest pair of jeans a 30/32

2. I actually ran up the flight of stairs into my apartment and didn't feel like my heart was going to explode LOL

3. I jogged through the parking lot with my daughters, (because of the cold) to the store entrance and one of my daughters said, "Mommy you can run now? Wow!! Before I would slowly lumber through the parking lot and feel like passing out, and one day my daughter 5 at the time told my husband, I don't want to walk with mommy, she walks too slow, I wanted to cry. Now I can keep up and most times I'm a few feet ahead and waiting on everyone else.

4. All of the heels in my closet are now too big! I wanted to start wearing them but now they flop off my feet when I walk in them.

5. My next goal also is the notorious booth :ph34r: It's been a long time and I want to see if I can fit without turning sideways.

6. Turnstiles are no longer scary.

7. I can do a few laps at the mall without having to find a bench to sit on or a motorized cart, same for the grocery store.

you Miss, are a rock star, and should be very proud of yourself.

Way to go! Keep up the great work! Pretty soon you will be in the 200's!

Congrats. Keep up the hard work!!

Miss LadyK...you are my hero today. Really you are a superhero. Way to go!

You can do this!

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the encouragement! I feel so awesome now, my only regret is that I didn't do this sooner.
