Smile Big thanks from lil ole me

Thanks Lei, Bridget, and Kim!! I knew I could count you guys in to be my cheerleaders..

I so wanted this to happen before I hit my 1 year mark and I did it!!! So Now I will stay off of those nasty scales until my 1 year mark when I do my annual weigh in. (Well I will try and stay off of them anyway.. )

Default Rain & Dale & Tricia

Thanks Rain for the kind words. I pretty much did do the happy dance at work and yell and scream and jump up and down. Wedding plans?? Argh!! I didn't realize there was so much to do. I keep trying to get all my ducks in a row but they keep falling out of line.. lol

I will have to get with my wedding planner (AKA YOU!!) and get organized with all my stuff.

Dale,

You and I .. we will never truly be "normal" LOL (We did go to VHS afterall)

You look great Dale, keep up the good work..

Tricia..

Congrats on being the newest member of the Century Club!! I am so thrilled for you.. keep up the great work..

Thumbs up Wooooo Hooooo

Christina, my dear:

Although you and I know that we're NEVER gonna be quite "normal"....

YOUR BMI IS NORMAL!!! YOUR BMI IS NORMAL!!!

What an accomplishment! Let's see...

Wearing Size 4
Eight pounds from goal
Normal BMI
Engaged to your Prince Charming

You deserve every single good thing, girlfriend. You've worked tremendously hard and you've endured trials, tribulations, and bumps in the road to get where you are today.

LIFE IS GOOOOOOOOOOD!!

Love ya!

Thumbs up Dara

Dara,

When you are right, you are right my friend! I have the world in my hands right now. I am wearing a size 4, I have a normal BMI (Ok so this is the high end of normal but I'll take it!!) I am marrying my prince charming, and I am 8 lbs from being half the person I used to be. Yes that is my goal 137 which is 1/2 of what I used to weigh at 274. Kelly's goal for me is 131 which I don't care if I hit that one or not. I just really really want to hit my 1/2 way mark. Stuart hasn't posted but he has hit his. He is 191 which is 1/2 of what he used to weigh. He reads the board all of the time.. but I really need to post something separate for him.. he won't toot his own horn. We are different in that way.. lol

Thanks for shouting with me Dara.. you're the best!! I just love you to pieces!!!

Default Normal BMI = Celebration!

I'm so impressed! That's gotta feel incredible! I'm just trying to be considered "overweight" so I can't even imagine the euphoria you're going through right now. Well...okay...actually I can imagine it!

You're quite the inspiration - working through so many obstacles, trials and tribulations and staying positive and proactive the whole time!

Keep up the great work and the awesome posts.
