I've met my first major goal and a new clippie!!!!

[lmhall2000]

Okay, I just couldn't wait!! I actually weighed 196 yesterday but today I weighed 195 so I had to jump in and express my joy....anyone who's seen my journal knows the title says "My journey from 236-196" Well, I hadn't intended on making it that far until 9/23 when we take our Disney splurge! Well, I'm a MONTH early!!!

WAHOOOO WAHOOOOO WAHOOOOO!!!!

It feels wonderful- I'm no longer wearing 1x & 2x- all this week I've worn 12W- which is actually a nice way of saying 14's but it's a HUGE difference!! I don't wear XL- I wear L now!! I can't wait to buy my first Medium when I get about 15 more pounds off!

Thanks everyone for all the nudges- I've got to run- the clock is dinging and I'm 10 minutes late for my walk this morning- just couldn't wait- I'll have to pick up my speed to be back home in time- but this great news will certainly put a skip in my step!! Also, it's really cool to see Mars underneath the Moon at this time- anyone who gets a chance it's worth getting up early to see it or staying up late!!

Thanks guys!!!!
Tara

Don't you just feel proud and strong today? I would be, what a wonderful accomplishment. You are just rushing toward your goal and I'm very proud of you.

TARA!!! Wow- you really blew into ONEderland with a lot momentum, didn't you? I'll bet you can hardly even remember those "2**" numbers!

I know you're looking and feeling amazing now, and having trouble finding clothes that fit in your closet. I can't wait until you're shopping for Mediums! We can burn our Lane Bryant cards and coupons- we'll have a HUGE bonfire to celebrate!!!

I'm so very proud of you. You happily work at this harder than just about anybody, and your drive is very inspiring.

Way to go, cutie!!!!
