A small step for mankind, a giant step for me.

jsfantome - I will take the liberty of quoting your comment in my journal today. I hope you don't mind. It's such a wonderful post. Thank you.

Everyone else - Thank you so much for all your comments. They mean the world. It's a scaaaaaary step I'm taking, but so far it seems like I'm doing good. Of course, we won't know until I get on the scale. I'll let you know this coming Saturday. I feel great though, I don't feel like I've gained weight (I can pretty much pinpoint the feel of an added kg or two), and I thing I'm doing it! Life is good!

Really proud of you and glad that even though you reached your goal you'll still be here helping the rest of us! Thank you for your on-point advice and encouragement.
