Hi Everyone:

I'm wiping away my happy tears as I write this thread. I am officially in Onederland this morning.

A year ago today I started a new me. I'm not proud to say that I weighed 324 pounds on 4/23/07. But I could almost screem from the rooftops that this morning I weighed less than 200 pounds for the first time in more than 20 years.

It's such an emotional thing for me. It's been quite a year.

I'm going to stop blubbering like a baby, wipe away the tears, put on my big girl panties, and start working toward my goal - size 12 pants. Going walking on this fine New England morning.

Thanks for all of your support. I don't think I could have done it without all of you.

Take care.

Sue
