I finally made it to Onederland, that magical place I took for granted years ago. Yes, Onederland feels good and I'm not going to slide back. I had made a goal that I was going to reach this point by Xmas or New years but I ended up stalling for three weeks instead. So I don't know if I'll be making any goals with a time frame anytime soon but I am looking forward to loosing the next twenty pounds which will then take me out of the obese category. three more pounds and I'll have lost thirty pounds...

You can join for $10...

Well, usually when I go on a diet, I have to lose about thirty plus pounds before I can get a compliment from anyone; so I was not prepared for the raves I got when I went to my nephew's house for Thanksgiving dinner. People kept comenting on how much I had lost and how great I looked. The funny thing is I had such a bad cold and was so stuffed up, I had thought I looked pretty pasty faced with a red nose. Heh. The complements definitely helped to make me feel better. And since I couldn't taste...

I weighed and measured myself today and I'm stuck on the scales but did lose an inch around each of my bust, abdomen, and hip measurements and a half inch off my waist. I'm a little discouraged because I felt I would have some dramatic weight loss ( ever the optimist!) but oh well.
