Hello my peeps!

Happy 2007 to you! I'm already starting this year as my best ever. My biggest New Year's resolution was to quit smoking. I am now on day two and going strong. Yesterday evening was tough, I kept reaching for one or starting to ask my hubby for one then I caught myself and did something else.

I am now officially down 60 pounds since May 06! It amazes me each and every time I step on the scale. I did some major purging in my closet and now have 7 huge trash bags full of clothes to give away. I went to Old Navy on Saturday with the intention of getting some smaller jeans. They didn't have the size I wanted (14!!!) but I did get some cute camo pants and a sweater (XL!). I also did some online shopping at Torrid yesterday, so hopefully I will have some things to get me through awhile longer.

As this new years begins I can't help but reflect on 2006 a bit. I have made some amazing connections with people here and I can't thank you enough for cheering me on and being in my corner. You guys rawk!!

Here's to 2007!!

Peace.

Congrats - Ducky!

I did it too--I have officially lost 101 pounds as of this morning! I only have 15 more to go to join you in Onderland.

Yeah for LINDAV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You go girl.

Anybody else?

That is so awesome LindaV! I can't imagine 100 pounds in less than a year...really impressive! I need to get with it...

:) OMG... a huge whopping congratulations to you.

100 lbs. What a proud accomplishment.

Just Duckie-I am so proud of you. We have been neck and neck for a long time and when I hit onederland I knew you wouldn't be far behind. What an awesome feeling huh? Keep up the good work!

LindaV-You are doing great! I can hardly wait to hit the Century mark. I have just 4 lbs to go before getting to 75 and that is exciting in itself, but 100, WOW!!!

I am so proud of the May Bandsters who have dug in their heels, stayed with it and encouraged each other. Our successes HAVE to 'outweigh' the others just because we can call each other friends.

I think I am the only guy May Bandster, but I just wanted to tell you girls how proud I am of you! Its awesome how well we have done as a group. Keep up the great work!

Wow - you all are doing so well! I am stalled and have been for about a month. I hope my fill on 2/13 will get me back to losing!

Whoo hoo Linda!

100 lbs is such an accomplishment. You deserve a huge pat on the back.

Now that I'm getting closer to my goal, I'm starting to think about how low I really want to go. My dr. has set my goal at 160 and I know I can do that. But really, I would like to get down to 140/145. I would be more than happy to get to 160, but............:paranoid I figure I've already lost almost 75 lbs, what's another 60?

Anyway, I probably shouldn't worry about it now. I think I should concentrate on the next 10 lbs.

Keep up the good work, Maysters!!!!!!!

Just 6 lbs to go Ousooner!!!!!!!!!! YIPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! I can hardly believe you have made it so far in such a short time! As my daughter would say YOU RAWK!
