I just got back from a weigh in, and at 422, that is my lowest weight since the summer of 1984.  And I have no idea when i was last under 400.  So we are approaching new territory.  That is a minimum of 178 pounds since Jan. 20th.  And 225 pounds from my all time high. 

This is great.  And thanks to all my CC+ pals for the guidence and support.  Claire, Molly, magickat, heavenly, blackthorn, and melkor my man, and i will soon be kicking myself for not including all you other great folk. 

This is just fantastic.  A new life plain and simple. CoolTongue outLaughingCoolTongue outLaughing
