Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-al!

Woo-Hoo! i've cleared one of my Major Weight Loss Hurdles! i'm finally under 200 lbs! we went to the Weight Watchers meeting last night, and at the official weigh-in i was 198 lbs! i ran home, walked in the door, shed my clothes faster than Madonna in the 90's, hopped on the scale and saw that i was actually 196 pounds (i guess they're right, clothes do weigh 2lbs)!
you have absolutely no idea how happy this makes me. it means that all this time and effort i'm putting into this is actually paying off. it also means that there's a very good chance that i'll be able to make my (personal) weight goal of 175 lbs by the time the wedding comes around (Weight Watchers feels i should be somewhere around 160 lbs, but that's just to frightening and drastic to contemplate). Though i find the meetings a total waste of time, they work for most people (some of these girls have major issues); i think it's the element of support and community. luckily, i've got my support network built right in: Stephen. he's been really great helping me stay on track and tracking my points and stuff, and i love him dearly for it. incedentally, he looks fanfuckingtastic with the weight he's lost.
we're gonna make quite a pair, he and i, come October.
i can't wait!
