Well here I am sat in a hotel in Mexico wearing shorts and walking around without a care in the world. This is a big NSVs for me as I have not worn shorts in public before. I'm on holiday with my husband and we have travelled from the UK.

I had my sleeve on 3rd April 2012 and I am down 80lb, my goal is 100lb. It is slow but steady and I am a great believer that this is indeed a journey along a long road and not a quick race around a track.

Just wanted to share my happiness.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

How exciting for you! Congrats!

Congrats!! Thanks for sharing!!

down 80lb, great believer that this a journey along a long road and not a quick race around a track.

UK Cathy

LOVE that analogy

ahhhhhhh, i can see you now

walking along the beach, hand in hand with DH

not "a care in the world"

sun in your eyes

I'm jealous!!!!

you've done great!!!!!

keep up the terrific work

btw - try not to feel tooooo bad for us "poor" people in NY that are freezing with 12 degree temperatures and snow - don't give us another thought!!! brrrrrrrrrrrrr

Proudgrammy it was snowing when we left the UK

Meanwhile, here in Western Washington, near Seattle, we are enjoying beautiful mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 60's (F). It's weekends like this that make up for the gloomy late falls and winters around here!

Seriously, congrats, Cathy! I hope to be able to join you in that carefree mode by this time next year!
