Andi,
CONGRATS Girlfriend!!! OMG That must be an incredible feeling!!! I can't wait to get there.. I am thinking very soon too.. I weighed in at 203 yesturday so you never know.. omg what a feeling!! I am so happy for you. You have had an incredible ride. What a story you have to share. 173 lbs lighter!!!

all I can say is WOW!!! You are definitely an inspiration to many.. including myself. You are right about sticking to the guidelines. But I know that the further out you get the harder it must be. I am taking full advantage of the honeymoon period. Now I have strayed once or twice but came right back on track. I had a smigin of an oatmeal rasin cookie and a drop of vanilla ice cream but just enough to taste. I tasted it said oh that was good and went along my merry way without thinking oh I need to get a whole cookie or an ice cream cone.. I just wanted to taste a different flavor and I did. I know that sounds bad, but you know what.. I am not going to beat myself up over it. I have done good otherwise and I did not consume enough calories to force weight gain or bad habits. And actually I was very proud of my restraint.. if that makes any sense. Thanks for reinforcing the notion of the rules.
You are doing so incredible.. keep up the good work.. and thank you for sharing.. there are so many that need the guidence from the old posties and seems as if most are off being busy living their own new life which is good for them.. don't get me wrong.. but we do appreciate when you guys post.. just so ya know!!
