So overjoyed and overwhelmed at the same time to see me in a size 18 again. It is without a doubt the most wonderful feeling I've felt in quite some time. I was a size 18 when I met and married my husband 30 years ago, welcome back old friend. Thanking God from whom all blessings flow. (picture posted)

Thanks ladies, I am very proud of what I've achieved thus far - tomorrow makes 4 months for me and it has truly been the ride of my life thus far. I look forward to seeing what a year out will bring. For now I will take it one pound at a time if that's all I can get. Thanks again for the love.

Whoo Hoo!!! Don't buy too many 18s...they will be falling off in about a month.

Oh, same thing for shoes. Your feet will keep shrinking, too!

Bravo!!
