Hip Hip...

...Hooray!

OK, that's cheesy.  But that's how I feel, because I finally got on the scale after weeks of avoidance.  I figured, why bother, the number never changes.

But it did!

Not only did it change, it went down...6 pounds!  Who loses weight over the holidays?  Me, apparently.  This is the first time in over 10 years that I am under 200 lbs.  Am I happy?  You betcha!  Does the recent vomiting pale in comparison?  Yup!

I'm now 24 lbs. away from the goal the surgeon has set for me.  This brings my total weight loss to 82 lbs.  Pretty awesome for (almost) 6 months time!
