Wow! Talk about making a person's day! I'm grinning so hard my face is about to break! Thanks so much, all of you!
And I have to thank you, especially, for the compliment, Goddess. I was at 195 when that picture was taken a couple of weeks ago. (But 189 as of yesterday!!! Whoo hoo!) Even at 5'10.5", I still have quite a ways to go. I'd like to get down to about 145 eventually--by next summer, I hope. But it's sooooo great to hear you say that! When my weight was hovering around 300 lbs, I couldn't imagine I'd ever even look "normal" again, let alone that anyone would ever tell me I didn't need to lose more. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
And thanks for the sweet words Margie and Sherry! I can't tell you how much it helps. This has been a long road--going on four years, now. If it weren't for the people I've "met" here keeping me inspired and teaching me that it's about health, not just about looks, that it's for a lifetime and not just short-term, I'm not sure I'd have been able to make it this far. Thank you all so much.
