This story gives us newbies such hope. Congrats on a job well done because I know it isn't easy, but it is worth it by having a healthy and new lighter body.

Thank you! I have to slap myself sometimes - it's so easy to get focused on the scale and let me feelings be dictate by some digital number. Hugs!
