Default This is the WOW of all WOW's for me!
Today I was weighed by my NUT and according to the BMI charts, I am now "normal"!

I weighed in at 147.2lb (5'5") and proudly pranced round in a pair of size 6 jeans.

I'm not quite sure how much further this journey is going to take me - hopefully, I'll have a clearer idea when I get closer (the ideal for my height is 135lb apparently).

For fear of sounding like an oscar winner (although that's exactly how I feel), I just want to say a big thanks to everyone - I couldn't have done it without your support.

Look at those eyes!

In your 'before' pic, your eyes looked unhappy ... now they look so bright and cheery! And ofcourse the sexy red frames are wonderful!!!

You and the monkey are almost the same size!

(What are the chances of stitching T-T to your forehead and mailing yourself around the country? You can come here first!)
