Hi Patricia, :wave

I've got only 20lbs to lose too!!! I guess you'll be going straight into OWL? You look nice in your wedding dress, and seeing you in that photo is very encouraging for me. Gosh, you don't even look like you need to lose 20lb - you look so lovely. Still, I'll probably be told the same thing LOL but I know I would feel better another 20lbs lighter!

Welcome to ha

cheers.

Hi Patricia!!! :wave

I think I'm about 140lbs now (I still haven't gotten my head around conversions without a calculator!). I'm aiming for 120lbs and wasn't sure I should go any lower (haven't been this weight since high school). But as you are the same height, perhaps going lower could be reasonable?

Oh... looking at your photo - you're so lovely! What a great encouragement for me!

Cheers.

tickletussler: thanks for the compliment , but I'm only 5-8lbs lighter than you! I'd like to be 120lbs too! perhaps we can do it together!
