 My goal has been to lose 50% of my body weight and get a normal BMI, and this morning the scale is telling me that I have accomplished both goals! 

I have lost 159.5 lbs and I weigh 159.5 lbs! LOL According to my doctor this is 100% of my excess weight lost and I am offically at goal (although I want to take off that last .5 lbs for a nice even 160 lbs. lost! LOL). 

The sleeve is the best thing that has ever happend to me.

I am so happy for you! You are a great motivator and I hope to do the same as you have.
WAY TO GO!

Now what are you going to do to treat yourself?
Mani/Pedi? A new purse? A day at the spa?

You have worked hard!

 A tattoo! LOL That has been my goal reward for as long as I can think, I was going to have something tattooed across my wrists, but I can't come up with anything I really want. 

So I think I am going to have -

 My trouble with that is that I don't like talking to people, and something like that makes people ask questions LOL I was thinking "Never Again" across my wrists, but again I was afraid people would want to talk to me about them LOL I don't play well with strangers
