People, people, people.....TODAY IS A FANTASTIC DAY!

Even though it's snowing outside and more bad weather is coming to Denver, I feel like the sun is shining directly on me!

Today when I stepped on the scale the number 200 was looking right at me! :w00t:What is it about that number? When you are going up the scale it's a number of doom and gloom, however when you are coming down on the scale it looks like a gold coin!

I could not have done this without my band. I have not been 200 in over nine years, and when I hit it the last time it was my stale point. I never got below it and then I went right back up. Before that I was not 200 in YEARS!

I have 35lbs to goal. I would like to be 165-170. For the first time in my life I really and truly feel like that goal can be reached. I think I was in High School the last time I weighed that and I am now 39!:scared2:

We are going to Hawaii for Christmas Vacation and I think this calls for a new bathing suit.

Even with the bumps in the road for the past couple of weeks, I now see a light at the end of the tunnel.

I cleaned out my closets this weekend of everything that did not fit anymore. Check out how my closet looks now, I've attached a photo for you!

HEE HEE! It may not be the best photo but you get the point!

I actually called my husband into the room with me to make him look at the scale! I wanted to make sure I was not dreaming!

Life is good!!!!!

I am happy!!!!

I am no longer the fat girl with the pretty face! I can't tell you how much I hated hearing that!

I AM BLESSED!

Congrats!! I'm happy with you.. You have done great.. That's awsome.

I knew it Laura...I knew you would do it! I am so happy for you!

So happy for you....I just hit the 199 mark and I am to the moon happy!!!

I LOVE your closet! I can only imagine the fun you'll have "restocking" it!

You're such an inspiration here! All that hard work has paid off. Time for more than a bathing suit or you'll be going to Hawaii naked...LOOK at that closet LOL! CONGRATS! -BG

Way to go!!!! So happy for you. I too am staring 200 (almost) in the face! Its a number i haven't seen in too many years to count! take care and keep us posted.

BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!! You're going to have SO much fun in Hawaii in all your new regalia. Onederland's gates have opened - come on in!

Congrats and LOVE the closet!

I am so happy I just read this post!!!! I just want to run and clean my closet too, you are an inspiration. It makes me so HAPPY to know I too can feel just like you. I have not lost as much but I am as happy and do NOT feel like to fat person anymore. I look rather normal now and that is so cool. I just love what everyone wrote. Best wishes you have a great day. imaluckydog I would rather have snow it is raining here.
