Thank you, everyone, for the kudos! How cool that one of these threads has my name on it.

Lisa, yeah, I was stalled in the 260 range for a looooong time. I got just below 250 back in September/October and stayed there for a while during my unfilled period. ON December 23rd I weighed in at 246 and that's the day I got a fill. Then I got sick. The combination of the two made 9-10 lbs disappear seemingly overnight.

Michelle, I didn't make a lot of noise about it because, well, I kind of feel that it doesn't really matter at this point. But I am pretty chuffed, I admit. Milestones are great indeed but from my slow progress and bounces I don't really count them until they're well behind me. The next one I've been looking forward to is 230, which is the very lowest weight I've ever hit since I was about 23. (I got there with Optifast back in 1990, and stayed there for a whole week or so.)

So when I get to 230 and feel that it's here to stay, that will be the one I'll want to make noise about. 100 lbs from my high point says more about the high point to me then where I am now. And where I am now is buying some sweaters in a size 14. (Lisa, what IS it with those Avenue sizes?!?)

Hi Alexandra

Don't make "light" of hitting -100 - no matter how long it took! That's a major milestone and you should feel pretty proud about it!

I can certainly relate to being "stalled". As you know, I lost a lot of weight pretty fast, but have been really stalled for the last 5-6 months. I'm back on track again and can't wait to get to my next milestone.

You may be looking forward to your next milestone, But in the meantime.... CONGRATULATIONS. A 100 pould loss is a tremendous achievement!!!

I don't know about The Avenue, Alex. I had to get a part time job there just to decide really hate the store. I've been shopping there for 15 years, and they've been carrying the exact same clothes since then. It's always the same shirts, they just add a button, or change from horizontal to vertical stripes. And I have some loose Avenue 18s and some tight Avenue 22s. The Avenue would be a great opportunity for a fasion makeover from some TV reality show.

Alex, 100 pounds is a huge mark. Who cares how you got there, but you got there! I'm in the same boat, I think the last "skinny" weight I have documented is 235. If I got to 230, that would be heaven.
