At the risk of sounding like a little girl, I sit here this morning happy as can be over hitting two of my goals, and really close to one.

Last week, I was able to put my original wedding ring on for the first time in years.

I'm wearing size 38 jeans (no stretch :tt2:) and I'm so close to getting out of the obese category. I hope to be in size 34 and a normal BMI for my daughter's wedding in spring of 10.

Congratulations! You are doing great.:crying: Your daughter's wedding is in the spring of '10, you got that made. Piece of cake, ...wait, not cake....ummmmmm....piece of good protein.:tt2:

Congrats!! Sometimes its not the scales numbers that make us the happiest, but us starting to participate in our lives again!

Wow, this really hit home for me. I could not agree more. The numbers on the scale are nice but the big payoff is when you realize you are living again, not hiding. By hiding I mean either emotionally or physically. You are going to have a blast at the wedding!!!

And being around for it. I totally forgot that my doctor cut my BP medicine in half and it remains normal, I hope to be off totally in Feb. I'm 9 pounds away from calling my sleep doctor and I'm expecting to be told me sleep apnea is gone. I was 250lb when diagnosed, so I figured I would wait till 225 to get retested. (My wife says my snoring has stopped)

Oh, yea, 6 points from halfway! I expect the hardest pounds to be going from 201-199

Wow, this really hit home for me!!!

Looking at your signature, congratulations on some significant anniversaries.

Definitely congrats are in order. Great work.

Nothing wrong with the "little goals." They are the things that keep up going to the big ones. We do it one step, one day at a time.

I'll do cake for the occasion.
