With a mere 10 days to spare before my 20th reunion, and for the first time in those intervening 20 years, I am back at my high school weight of 180.  So freaking happy about this.  180 was also my surgeon's goal, even though it's still at least 30-60 pounds from my own goal.  

This is a really big deal for me.  This was my only time-based goal and I never even thought it would be possible to get here until around January.  I think that was when the first thoughts of "Oh yeah, I might be able to get there in time for the reunion" started creeping in.  

And I made it!!!  OMG YAY!!!!!

Now?  Time to just keep going and reach the next goal :D  It's all scary new territory from here, since I now weigh the least I've ever weighed as an adult.  What will I even look like at 170?  Or 150?  Or, eek, 120?

Thanks!  

I will be wearing two Stitch Fix dresses!  For the Friday night gathering I'll wear a rather plain black one that's awesome on my body.  And I'll "bling it up" with a statement necklace I got from Charming Charlies.  :D  Then, for Saturday, I've got a really colorful dress to wear.  (I like dresses...)  I should post pics of them on my blog!  

I'm sure, like many of us here, that I put of getting clothes for special occasions until the last minute possible.. just so they'll fit the best!

Congrats!  This is awesome.  My first goal is 180 as well, but I am 30 lbs from that.

Thank you so much!  

I'm super excited about it - I went to my 15th and just remember feeling really awkward and out of place.  Some of it was because of my weight, some of it was because that was just an awkward time of my life and there were things that I wasn't super comfortable with being public about.  I know that my 20th will be completely different - and my parents are being gracious enough to host one of the parties at their house so it's been really cool to be involved in that!
