Hello 130s

Hi Everyone,
  You've all accompanied me through these milestones, and it occurred to me that I hadn't properly celebrated my latest one with you.  
  I'm now officially in the 130s (@139).  I know how I wrote that I was feeling fat last week.  This week I feel tiny.  I'm not tiny.  But I feel like when I look at myself now I see a fairly small woman.  (I've put some photos up on my page - if someone could paste them in here for me, I'd be grateful...)
  I'm wearing anywhere between a 4 and a 6.  My waist is 27 inches, hips & bust 34 inches.  I still want smaller thighs, and I have this little shelf of fat just under the belly button that I want to disappear.  It's actually going, thank God.  My arms look fine in sleeveless stuff.
  I'm looking forward to seeing what things will be like when I finally drop these last 9 lbs.  I'm 8 lbs away from being a Century LW.  That'll be a huge one.  After 130, I'll re-evaluate to see if I want to set a new goal.  But for now, I'm plugging away at my little springtime challenge.  
  I should be happy, and were cir****tances a little different, I would.  But I'm reminding myself to celebrate because it's important.
  Thank you for all of your support, LWs.

Oh Rosa Darlin,  I've celebrated all of your milestones with you and I know how important this one is to you.  I haven't had an opportunity to look at your new pictures yet but i'm excited to do so.  You've been such a beauty at every stage.  Bravo on how well you've done.  I wish that the last weeks had been happier for you so that you could truly celebrate how far you've come.  Those last 9 pounds will drop away before you blink twice and click your heels three times.  You're about to hit that 100 pounds gone which is such a victory for you.  I'm so darn happy for you and proud of you.  You go girl.  Take the world by storm and never look back.  You deserve all the happiness in the world beautiful girl.

WOW - That blue dress looks fabulous on you!  I want one just like it!  :-)

I remember hitting the 130's - what a great feeling.  I know you'll get to your goal and probably sooner than you thought.

You've done a great job - and you look absolutely phenomenal!
