just fell into the plain ol' "overweight" BMI and I'm lovin' it! Hoping to get to "normal" BMI in the next 4 months!

I'm 184 lbs, fitting nicely into 12/14's and am excited for the next size step-down. The loss is slower now but I expected it and feel very happy at the way I look in the mirror. The lowest I've ever been in the last 15 years is 180 so dropping below that in the next couple weeks is going to be a big milestone. I want to go get pictures taken of me with my family and I haven't "wanted" that in....well, ever. I always want to exclude myself. My kids are going to LOVE IT when I'm no longer hiding from the camera!

Comfortable in my own skin...not totally there but getting a whole lot closer! :) LOVING MY SLEEVE!!!
