Well its not as impressive as "Eartha" reaching her century mark, but i stepped on the scale this morning and it read 299. That is the first time since 1991 that it started with a 2. (had to spend some time trying to remember that year). I started this journey at 367 in October of last year. I am so happy. 68 pounds in just over 3 months!
I also had a non-scale victory last Thursday. I went to JC Penny's (nicest clothing store in our little town) and bought two pairs of Dockers in the normal person men's department. Yippee!!!!!!
Everyone here at the BTV Forums deserves my thanks and gratitute for the constant support. My support group meetings are over 50 miles away, so I consider BTV my support group. I know I don't post alot of messages, but I read alot and learn so much from all of you. Thanks to everyone for making me feel like a part of the family!

Yes they do! I can't "weight"! Only 50 more pounds and I can go bungee jumping, just like T2 Nashville did!

I highly recommend it! I have ziplining and white water rafting already on my calendar for the summer. Oh, and of course, training to walk the 1/2 marathon in April. Life is truly good!
