I had sorta set a mini goal for me to be at 225 by today - well I missed it by less than a pound and I'm OK with that. I mean really- losing  74 lbs since August is a great thing. But the totally miraculous thing is I now wear a size 18. I haven't worn 18's since I was in Jr. High. That was 28 years ago. I can't believe it. My kids took pictures but then we left the camera at my Mom's so I'll post those pictures this weekend.

I hope Santa was good to all of yall.

Well Girls - I was a day late but no where near a dollar short as the old saying goes - cause I hit my Christmas goal of 225 this morning. WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna put my next goal in writing. My birthday is in 3 months (March 25th) so here goes nothing....I want to be in onederland for my birthday. OMG I can't believe that I just wrote it. It somehow feels very liberating.

Congrats Iris....you are doing absolutely fantastic!!  Remember your weight loss could slow down in the second six months and if it does, don't beat yourself up!   You have to be so happy with where you are and what you have accomplished!

Good luck getting to onederland.

I know the feeling Iris,
On Christmas night we went to Mats for dinner and I wore a holiday sweater I bought years ago.
The sweater fit better than it has ever fit before and it was a womans large.
Also my mom gave me a chocker necklace and earrings the chocker fit OMGI have never been able to wear a chocker.
I had Lee take a full lenghth pic before we left home and if I like it I will post it.
I felt so comfortable that night.
