I made it!

I hit the 100 pounds lost mark this morning. 203!

I wasn't sure it was even going to happen by Christmas, so I'm very excited! What an amazing journey.

Congratulations! That is a fantastic achievement.

By the way, you certainly dont look like you have a BMI of 30 in that photo, you're positively sylph like!

Well, my own sort-of celebration is that I wore a special dress to church today. It was the dress my mother wore to my wedding twelve years ago. She died not quite two years later. I never even considered that it might fit me someday and yesterday I tried it on and it did fit. So I felt beautiful at church in my mom's dress. I'll post a pic later.

Thanks for all your support. You guys are awesome.

Congrats!!! Hitting the 100 lb mark is huge!!! I celebrated by going to a boutique that sold Bobbie Brown make-up. The sales lady gave me a make-over. When she was finished she wrote everything down and told me I could come back as I could AFFORD it and buy a little at a time. I told her she didn't understand I had just lost 100 lbs and I would take one of each. You should have seen her petite little face!!!

That deserves a celebration!

Well done and keep up the good work. To concentrate that long to lose that much weight deserves a medal.

Congrats.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is awesome! Can you believe where you were a year ago? Seems like a lifetime doesn't it.

Just wanted to update you all that two days shy of my 1 year mark I weighed 199 this morning! My goal was to be here by my bandiversary on Sunday and I can hardly believe I made it! That 203 stuck around for a very long time, so I had almost given up hope of making this specific goal. I also just got a fill, so that helped. Here's to reaching my goal in year 2!

That's fabulous Shiny!!!!

Congratulations!
