Ok, so I'm Jewish and don't celebrate Christmas...

The pictures says it all. (Please don't use that word though...I find it a bit to hokey for my tastes) :-)

Over the moon happy right now. By the way...I'm 5'11".

You will get there. Just stay the course and remember it is a long term lifestyle, not a race to the finish.

By the way, I love the various quotes from Psalms that you picked. I have a biblical verse that I have been relying upon throughout my weight loss journey. It keeps me motivated and inspired, and helped me to make the very important decision to have my wls in the first place. Deuteronomy 30:19 "This day I call upon heaven and earth as witnesses: I have set before you life or death, blessing and or curse. Choose life so that you and your children will live." I say it to myself in the original Hebrew every day, and whenever I need a little boost or help making the right decision regarding my food and exercise.

Seems pretty clear to me. The Master of the Universe commands us to choose life...whaddayagonnado?
