Thank you all so much! I really never thought that I would ever make these kind of changes in my life, especially after age 40. I mean, running? Yoga? Not anything I ever pictured myself doing!

Don, I know how you feel. It always amazes me when my body decides to give up a little bit of extra weight in a week! I'll take it when it happens, knowing full well I may not lose anything this week.

One thing I've learned with this journey - diet and nutrition are really important, but exercise is probably the most important of all. I simply cannot believe how my body has been reshaped. I am fitting into clothing sizes smaller than I ever thought possible. My sister and I used to kid each other that stores like The Gap were "stores for skinny girls" but I can actually shop where I want to now. I couldn't believe it a couple of weeks ago when I tried on some Nike workout pants and ended up buying a large!

Sue and Donna, that may be one of the reasons I haven't been home to Ohio since I started - I would be too tempted by restaurants and my mom's cooking!

My reward for hitting 100 lbs is a massage, which I've tentatively scheduled for October 20th.
