Returned from Vacation and at Goal!!

Somehow, I've done it. I had my 9 month check up with Dr. Simon a few days ago and according to their scale I am down 114.5 lbs and at goal. I have to wonder how this is even possible. I'm now 170 lbs at 5'11 and wear an 8/10. He also said that I may continue to lose since I'm only 9 months out...I guess we'll see. I wouldn't mind getting down a bit more. I went to London/Munich/Prague/Amsterdam for 2 weeks with my husband and had an awesome time. It was amazing to hike through medieval towns without loosing my breath, without needing an extender for my seat belt, and just having the energy to do it all. I ate good food with very little trouble. Also, I actually made myself try on all the clothing I packed before I left because I was so afraid that the tiny clothes I pulled out of the dryer weren't mine and wouldn't fit! LOL, This journey has been fun and bizarre.I will post photos as soon as I get them sorted out of my camera. Anyway, it's good to be back and catch up on the board. So much has happened since I left--we have a new marriage announcement, a few surgeries, and many accomplishments--WOW!!! Congrats to all of my friends that are doing so well! And to those frustrated with stalls--do not give up! Every body is truly unique and on its own schedule. Just stick to the plan and your body will continue work for very hard for you! Hugs, -Laura
