Posted to my WW buddies on GOAD, titled...
Today's WI - 2 lbs down... 3/10ths to go! ARG!!!


LOL!! :o)

So darned close I can just scream!!! :o) I weighed in today w/ my leader & there it was... 200.2... only .3 pounds away from ONDERLAND! Dang it!! :o) My leader says "run to the bathroom really quickly & then come right back"... so I did... but I knew it was a lost cause, since I had just gone before leaving home! Nope, not even a trickle. :o)

Oh well... it's okay, I guess! LOL. I had kept off my home scale since Wednesday morning, I just didn't want to know... I knew it was close, though. Darned cookies yesterday. :o)

This morning when I got up, I measured myself... I wanted to prove to myself that I was making progress, even if the scale didn't say so... & I had!!! Yeah!

Since mid December when I measured last & was 204 lbs...
  • 1.5" off my hips (9.5" total since 1/03)
  • 3" off my waist (10" total since 1/03)
  • 3" off my chest
  • 2" off my bust (can you say deflate??)
Everything else has pretty much stayed the same... but it is just cool to see those numbers, huh?

I'm wearing a size XL in regular sized shirts, rather than Women's sizes. AND I'm wearing fitted clothes, rather than baggy ones. I feel SUPER feminine & just love that!!

The size 18 jeans that were too tight on me @ Christmas are now getting baggy.

& I feel FABULOUS...healthy, confident, proud, etc...

So who gives a rip about ONDERLAND, right???

Okay, I guess I do. :o) It's such an amazing milestone to reach for me... REALLY. It's been since probably 1990 since I've seen ONDERLAND... that's a long time ago.

Anyways, guys... THANK YOU so much for all of your support & encouragement... I love being part of such an incredible group of people... you are my family & I cherish you all.

Okay... that's enough gushing... I need to save my emotional breakdown for when I actually DO reach ONDERLAND!! For now, I'll just be happy w/ having ONDERLUST! :o)
