WOOHOO!!

AWESOME!!

You have every right to be overjoyed! That's such a huge accomplishment, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person!

Thanks Tyly

I was so pleased because I am still overweight today - I had my secret weapon meal of salmon last night (I almost always lose weight on days that I have salmon) because I wanted to end the year as an overweight person.

Weight is a fifth of a pound down at 168.2 pounds.

Wonderful news, Margaret!

You have every right to feel not just a tad pleased with yourself, but downright proud of this very major achievement. What a change from this time last year!

Your a TRUE INSPIRATION to me!! Keep up that great work!!
How tall are you again?? I keep forgetting, because 168 pounds is small!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs

Thanks Auburn and Kim for your words of congratulations. They are much appreciated.

I am only 5 ft 3 inches tall and have a small frame under all this padding. I dont need to try and guess my frame size like so many large people because I was of normal proportions until I was in my mid twenties and my PCOS caused everything to go silly.

I aim to try and get as near as possible to how I would have been had I not had this immense weight gain.

My boobs are unlikely to naturally shrink to a normal shape so they give an element of uncertainty as to what my target weight should be (as would any muscle and changes due to age) - but I know that I considered myself to look fat when I went up to 126 pounds (9 stone). Around age 20, I was happiest between 112 and 119 pounds (8 to 8.5 stone) and in my early 20s grew to accept myself around 122 pounds.

Take care
Love
Margaret

Oh I can't wait to see some updated new pics of you, I'm up there with you on the BIG BOOB syndrome, all the women in our family are what you can called "STACKED" makes me look really big and broad shouldered, YUK!

Have a safe and happy new year!!
Kim

Hi Kim

Happy new year to you too.

I might get hubby to take a photo soon - and if I do I will share.

My boobs are mainly skin - but there is a lot of them (they were so huge to start with and they do not seem to shrink properly).

In the Spring I slimmed down to a 52G bra
In October I got measured for a bra - I was told my size was 40I but they didnt have one and sold me a 42H
A week ago I got a new bra which was 36J

The good thing is that my back is reducing to something near "normal person" proportions.

I am not ruling out surgery as an eventual option if the skin does not start to shrink. This is not an avenue that I would prefer. I certainly encourage my skin to be as healthy as possible with vitamins and creaming.

Take care
Love
Margaret

It's so wonderful to share in your success & excitement!



What a wonderful way to ring in the New Year sweetie!

~*~Have A Happy & Safe New Year's Eve/Day!~*~

Thanks Stacy

I have a feeling that it is going to be a great new year where we all get to make our weight loss dreams come true.

It will be hard work - but we will all get there if we stick together.

Happy New Year

to everyone who visits my diary.

HEY well done! 2 milestones before new year! its going to be a great new year for you. also i read you lost 10lbs over december !!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wow! You have accomplished so much in 2007. You have much to be proud of.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!



CONGRATS ON BEING OVERWEIGHT!! AND IN THE 160s!!

Hi Angel and Kimberly

Thanks for visiting. I hope that you are having a Happy New Year too.

I certainly appreciate your congratulations.



I have to admit that I am surprised at my December weight loss. I never expected to get a very similar loss to November.

The two milestones rounded the year off very nicely (understatement) and it leaves me only a fifth of a pound away from another milestone event - getting under 12 stones.

After that the next milestone will be getting under eleven and a half stone. Whether these can both be achieved in January remains to be seen.

I have just noticed that I am about five sevenths of the way to my target weight.

Take care
Love
Margaret
