Awwwww, shucks! Thanks, guys! I do seem to be inching towards my goal - and you will meet yours, too! This forum is such a wonderful place for support and advice. I may just never leave!
Thank you very much for your kind comments, Moonlit and Wulsk! I am surprised I look more shapely than chunky at a weight that I still consider very heavy for my height. Actually, I look similar to when I was in high school, as my weight was regularly 170 lbs. Mind you, after two kids, at least now I have *ahem* an ample bosom, shall we say. I wouldn't mind if the good Lord gave me a little more, but at least now I am starting to look more proportioned!
Another person commented on my weight loss at work today. I love my job at the hospital, and the department I work in is all women. They are so kind and supportive, I feel very spoilt! It is also helpful when I feel a bit stuck if the scale hasn't moved for a couple of weeks. Part of me says "Well, I guess this is as good as it gets" but I KNOW I can lose the rest! There is no good reason why I can't!
So thanks again, and best wishes on your own journeys!
