ok Im getting pretty excited here, just one more lousy pound to go to my first mini goal!  I can hardly stand the excitement. It has been such a long time since I have seen these numbers on my scale.  The last time I can recall being under 200 pounds was over 4 years ago and possibly since before I got pregnant with my now 7 year old.  I dont think I was ever under 200 between the 7 and 3 yr olds but Im not sure.  I know according to all medical journals I am still very obese but I sure feel great this morning!  Its amazing what this weight coming off has done for me body wise.  My feet no longer hurt every single moment of the day.  I can walk without limping, my heals dont hurt and my ankle feels a million times better.  I broke my ankle in january of 2002 and have had nothing but problems with it since then.  I am so very glad I began this journey no matter how much it sucks sometimes I have to remember how good it feels to be healthy……NOTE I said healthy NOT skinny!!!!   Being skinny does not make one healthy.  I want to be healthy, vibrant and full of energy for the remainder of my life however long that may be.  Im so thankful I have all my buddies to see me through and celebrate each pound with me as I continue on my journey.  I know we can all get there together and I would really like to say thankyou to Dr. Marc for starting this web site!  I wish I could give him a big hug and thank him!!!!!    And thank you all for the same!  I couldnt have done this without you all
