Thanks everybody! I'm less then 10 pounds from my goal weight, but I've already achieved my goal size. :-) And hey, if I can do it, anybody can! Seriously, nobody was more set in her ways than I was. My bad habits were very established (in an OCD sort of way). But I realized I just had to keep going even when I didn't really believe I could do it.

I'm still pretty flabby though - I need to step up the exercise. I also have some excess skin, but from what I've read, it can take up to a year for it to catch up with the weight loss. That's the thing I was most worried about, but it's really not that bad, and definitely better than the excess weight! I thought I would share that since it seems to be a big concern with most people.

Hang in there everyone! It gets better!
