It's a TIE!

I have no clue what is up but the scale is being "berry, berry" good to me this week (that after the 12 lb gain of IV fluids from last Friday/Saturday). Drum roll please...I weigh 167. That's an odd number but what it means to me is that is that I now weigh the exact thing I weighed for about one day in 1983ish. Why is that important? That was the LOWEST weight that I have ever seen on the scale as an adult. So, it is a TIE! Any weight loss from here on means that I will weigh what I weighed in 8th grade or younger!!!! I think I went into high school in the 170s or possibly heavier.

I'm SOOOO happy for you! I know how important it was for you to hit 167... Way to go!

You know, Becky... this is even bigger to me, than goal. Definitely bigger than any other number along my journey. I'm already happy where I am and of course if I actually ended up with a normal BMI (6 lbs to that) - that would be awesome too but this number... wow! Thanks, hon! Kathy

yay for you Kath!!!!

Thanks, Lisa!

Very cool Kathy...that is one lb less than my goal weight....I'm so proud of you! Lori 384/250.5/168

Thanks, Lori! Cool... I'll wait for ya here around 167 or somewhere in the neighborhood, 'kay? I have zero doubt that you'll continue to work your pouch and work your body and will reach your goal! Kathy

Congratulations Kathy. I don't post every day but do read all the posts and I have to say that you are a great inspiration to me. I still have a long way to go to my goal but know with all you great folks out there that I will make it. I lost another 2 lbs this week and am only 2 lbs from the Century Club. I'm so excited. My next goal is to reach 200 lbs - only have 12 to go for that. I haven't been below 200 for many years so I fully understand your excitement about reaching 167. You keep on going - together we can all make it. Thanks for all your support. Have a wonderful day. Cindee 310/212/???
