Several years ago I made a New Years Resolution. My resolution was to be a size 16 by the end of the year. The end of the year came and I was still not in that size 16. I was crestfallen, but life went on. When I began this journey ...

With all of the bad that has transpired this last week I can't really complain. Tons of celebrating!!! Thanksgiving, My Da's birthday, and a new job offer! So we've had tons of rich and delicious food, and many drinks.

Ladies of OH. I'm sure you can see my pleasure with this one...
Last night I was able to remove the extender from my bra and wear it comfortably.
Life is good.

65# lost. 95# to goal.
