Yeah!!!!  I am 1 pound away from my goal.  I'm on a gluten free diet which has helped, but most of all, I've cut out ALL Starbuck's and Jamba Juice.  I also stopped eating the one treat at home I allowed myself.... (these great graham crackers from Trader Joe's.)  I've been feeling terrible lately and have not been up to walking everyday like I usually do.  But to my great surprise, I'm still losing weight!!!  It was so nice to get on the scale and know I'm SO close.  When I get to 118, then I will start a second goal, get down to 110..... more or less.  I'll have to see how I look as I lose more weight.  Maybe 110 will be perfect, maybe not.... I'll see!  I'm just really proud of myself because I'm not sure this gluten free diet is working, and despite that knowledge, I didn't go back to Starbuck's and eat whatever I wanted.  I'm determined this time not to gain it back.  Yes, it was almost 20 pounds, but for us girls, that is A LOT!  I can't believe I let that happen.  Sorry, I've gone on too much, but I'm just pleased.... losing weight the healthy way!!!!
