Talking 199?!?

I finally hit the magic number this morning!

I'd like to thank the Academy, Dr. Callery, and all of my thinnertimesforum homies...

I haven't weighed under 200 in 20 years! It just occured to me today in the shower - I may have 34 lbs until goal, but I'm no longer FAT.

Talking Barbara,

Congratulations my friend! You looked so good today at 199! You are a beautiful person both on the outside and more importantly on the inside! I wish you much continued success with those last few pounds! You look GREAT!

I can't wait to post that I'm below 200. I've got 5 pounds to go! YAAAHHHOOOOOOOOOO!

Thumbs up I love you, man!

You guys are so amazing - it's such a great feeling to be able to put all of the stuff out there (both good and bad) and know that you'll either be comforted or celebrated. This is such amazing support.

Special hugs and kisses to:
Kim (the first person to come to my Dia de los Muertos altar this weekend - I adore you, Kim! You have a very special place in my heart. )
Christina (your post was SO SWEET - it made me cry a happy cry!)
Bridget (we're TOTALLY going to be rock stars on New Year's Eve!)
Marisa, Irela, and Dale (you ladies make my day over and over again!)
Veroliz - I don't know you, but here's a hug n kiss anyway!
