Hey friends...busy busy busy!  Almost to GOAL.  I'm wear 12's which is good for me.  I have quite a spare tire around my middle, so it will be hard I think to get below a 10 without surgical intervention :).  I am actually starting to look at PS, especially for my hideous arms.  Not only do I have the wings of a giant bat, but my arms are large and I have trouble getting things to fit, like a winter coat.  

I am headed to a meeting on Monday with colleges I haven't seen in a year!  

OH...I had an experience that I should tell you about.  It was a bit uncomfortable for me but I caught a man staring at my legs!  

I think I'm beginning to get used to the new girl in the mirror.  I am beginning to have a better sense of my size compared to other people and that I am a much trimmer girl!  That has been a hard part too.  I even treated myself to some Victoria Secrets!  :p

Who else is out there in July'ers land?

  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!!

I know ... about the mind thing... I still see 380 at know 177lbs CRAZY... I mean I still sometimes walk around things like a big person would, if I go to thw mall and cut through cars, I still avoid areas because I estimate my size..LOL.. my daughter says shes worried because I'm getting too Fragile.. I laugh because this time last year winter time.. she would jump in my bed because she said I warmed her UP...LOL.. That' fantastic.. on the 169lbs My wii said  I need to get to 145lbs to get to normal..UHHH that ain't happening!!  I mean for my frame LOL.. But I can dealt with over weight!  LOL... But i do like the fact that last time I got on the Wii I have not used it since I moved.. I did get Flowers, whistles, and bells, because my weight dropped over 20 lbs.. BUT YOU ARE DOING GREAT LAURA!!

This morning, after a pit stop in the bathroom, I weighed in on my Wii Fit. Music and trumpets blared as flowers fell from the sky (on my TV screen). I finally reached the "normal" weight range. I weighed 166.9 lbs. I'm 5'9". How come I don't feel normal? This mind/body connection is a weird thing. I'm still amazed when I can slip behind someone when they're seated at a table. I always look behind me to see the space I just slipped through and think to myself, I couldn't have done that a year ago.
