HOORAH for you!   I remember reading  your post a few months ago where you were talking about changing goal weights etc.... see - you did it!  I'm proud of us all. 

Thanks again hunny bunny...

You look so CUTE! Very nice job on the weight loss. EX BOYFRIEND, huh? Did you kick him to the curb with that cute little body of yours. I'm so proud of you and all of us July 2009ers. 

I'm 22lbs. from my original goal of 150lbs. Wii Fit says 148 lb. would be perfect BMI for my 5'9" frame. I need to have an abdominal hernia repaired. I'll send photos after that, scars and all. I may as well embrace them and my saggy arms and legs they're not going anywhere. It is still so much better than where I was for the last 20 years. I feel like I have a second chance at life and I'm taking full advantage of it! (No boyfriend yet, but I'll be out looking tonight for sure) Look out Chi town, Laura's coming to town!

  Oh Miss Laura... thank you so much sweetie pie! And about the BF... I just added you as a friend... feel free to read my blog whenever you may be boared at home!  Check you out...almost to goal and I LOVE YOUR NEW AVIE BTW... I recall your old one and to see the new one is outstanding!  Well - if anything need to be repaired - good to hear it's a ab hernia versus something else... I'm sure things will be okay.  22lbs till goal is sooo exciting.  Having something to work torwds is awesome.  Seems like maintenace is harder than the loosing part.  Date away... be selective... but enjoy being you too! 

Keep up the fantastic progress miss lady!!

Hugs and kisses!!

AWESOME Girlie...Take care
