Kimberly, I did NOT notice!!  That is way too cool.  You are much taller so are you at goal?  I am 5'7", used to be 5'8" but guess I shrunk, LOL!  I feel so happy that so much has changed for me in this short time, how about you?  I still have a little share tire around the middle and a little lower abdominal pooch otherwise am very happy!  You look wonderful!

So that means we are "WLS Sisters"!  I set my goal as 165 basically because I vaguely remember weighing that amount years ago and I thought I would be in about a size 12 at that weight.  Well, now that I am almost there, only 1 pound to go, I am much smaller than I thought I would be....I am wearing a solid size 8 in dresses and bottoms and M and S tops.  I do still have extra fat on my hips and a little bit of a roll still on my back so I am thinking maybe I need to lose a few more, maybe 5-10 pounds but then again, I like a little softness so I could totally be happy where I am.  I am thinking that maybe a size 6 at 6 ft tall might be too skinny but I really don't know.  Most of the 6 ft tall models, such as Elle Mac Phearson and Lisa Butcher, weigh around 138 and wear a size 6 but by no means do I think I am a supermodel and I certainly can't imagine losing another 30 pounds!  lol  I guess I will just have to wait and see but I do know that I am not expecting perfection at this age so I have to be careful with being too harsh on myself.  Sorry to ramble on...goal weight has always been tough for me to pinpoint.

Kimberly -  Welcome to the LW board!  You are just simply gorgeous - and your men are all very handsome.  What a beautiful family!  I am including, of course, your pets.  I love this board more than any other, too.  It doesn't get too overwhelming here, no harsh attitudes, no critical comments.  Just friends helping each other.  Glad you are joining us!
