I'm ignoring the fact that I'm falling apart in most respects to bring you this little newsflash. Ok, well two newsflashes...
doot doot doooot, doot doot doot, doot doot doooot.....
(uh, that was my version of a news bulletin sound...)
Amazingly, I will be crossing the 20,000 threshold on my site counter here. Wow, you people are apparently crazier than I am to keep coming back... =) In all seriousness though, I appreciate each and every one of you; you've helped to keep me just this side of sane. Hey... no smart ass comments!
More importantly... I have crossed the 100 pound (45.5 kg) mark in my weight loss adventure. Ok, so it's only by one pound, but if you'd have asked me whether I could get this far a year and a half ago, I'd have laughed in your face. Or monitor, you know what I mean. I'm still convinced that every scale is wrong and that someone has replaced my clothes with lookalikes in my old size but sewn in new tags. It still hasn't sunk in. I still have a ways to go, but for the first time in my life, I don't doubt for a minute that I can do it. To think I did it all on my own is a damn good feeling. Then again, I never take the easy way, do I?
Encapsulated, my life is going down the tubes - I just have a smaller tube and lots of bloggers visiting to watch it happen...lol.

Congratulations about both, LW, but mostly about the weightloss. That's fantastic. Also proof that when you want to achieve something, you can. So hang in there, and you'll make it through the rough patch too.
And maybe one day my comments will be less inane, you never know.
100 lbs huh? That's like - well, let's just say that now you'll have to run around in the shower to get wet.
Damn...100 pounds! That is flippin' terrific! I've been trying to lose 20 pounds for about 2 years now. It is one of the hardest things I've ever tried to do!!!
Keep us posted on what tubes you're talking about. Hang in there! :)
You must feel great about taking control and succeeding in your goals! Congrats, Livewire.
You go girl!!
Anne - Thanks so much! It was probably my stubbornness that saw me through this far. And your comments are anything but inane dear!
Kyknoord - I look at in in terms of losing a 'supermodel', but now that you put it that way, maybe someday I'll save money on umbrellas and be able to dodge raindrops soon, saving on the cost of umbrellas, too...lol.
Stacy - It is great, if I could only get it to register in my brain! If I can do this, you can do the 20; I know it! Oh, and the tubes... I said my life was going down the tubes - figure at least I can fit into a smaller tube now since I lost weight! =)
Jason - Thanks hon! I think it was the fact that I'm a bit of a stubborn control freak that gave me the push to actually do it and see it through this far.
Whatalotoffun - Woohoo! I am, I am! Lol.... thanks!
For a moment there I thought you meant you were down to 45.5kgs... and then I was going to ask you exactly what type of leprachaun you are... but then I figured it out and...
Wow! I'm impressed! Well done!
congrats on the weightloss! diet and excercise and lots of time and patience and determination is all you need to lose weight. sounds easy but it isn't.
Congratulations!! For both milestones but especially for heading towards your goals.
Are you going to be rushing out to buy skimpy tops and bikinis for the summer now?
I am impressed on all fronts--and no wonder people come to your blog again and again--you are such a clever writer, and we all somehow take you into our hearts because not only are you clever, you are so engaging.
(as for all the tubes--yeah, time of chaos just about everywhere)
Terri - Hell, being 5'9", I'd be next to dead at that weight. Or a runway model...lol. Thanks, hon! =)
Some Guy - Thank you so much! Some moments are easy, some - not so much, you are right about that! Say, do I know you from a past incarnation perchance?
Nomad - Thanks doll! Skimpy? Me? Maybe in my house...lol. I still have more to go before 'public viewing'. =)
Jarvenpa - How sweet are you?! What you said makes me feel really good! Yeah, and the chaos thing... all too true, I'm afraid.
wow
WOW
you've lost THAT much weight!
wow
sometimes the only way of getting the job done is .....by yourself/on your own.
Dr. Vodka - Yep, indeed I did. It's alot to lose, especially by yourself. People are shocked to learn that it wasn't due to surgery or weight loss meds. I think I just got to the point where I was more determined than ever, and it worked!
