After 17 years I finally see a "2" again!!

Ok I'm on day 2 of being out sick and feeling miserable -- I think I have the flu and we had this ice storm this morning so they canceled school for my kids and I decided that rather than drag myself to work with a fever, I would stay home and rest. BUT the good news is that for the past 2 weeks I've been going back and forth between 301 and 304 and dying to see a "2" as the first digit in my weight for the first time in 17 years and it finally happened today! I got on the scale and it said 296.6!!! OH HAPPY DAY!!!! That's all I wanted for Christmas, so now I can quit feeling sorry for myself and be happy for a while! Anyway, I was so excited that I had to tell someone! When you've been over 400 lbs and you never thought that you'd see a 2-something again, this can really flip you out! And being 5' 10" tall, that brings my BMI into the low 40's which is a THRILL for me too right now! Vi

Oh Vi..please know I share in your joy. I couldnt be more happier for you. I am right behind you..watch out..here I come

Aww, thanks hon, I know you can understand what I'm feeling and I know you will be here soon too and I'm cheering you on! HUGS, Vi

Happy "TWO-derland"!! I'm so happy for you. It's so wonderful when your goals are not only reachable, but have been achieved. I hope your accomplishment helps you to feel better on a day that didn't start out so well for you. Feel better. Enjoy the day with the kids. You've had a great WOW moment today! XOXO Cheryl

Aww thanks, I feel better already, even though I've been coughing my guts out all day! HUGS, Vi
