Well, today it a great day, a day I've been waiting for since starting this WOE almost six months ago.

I stepped on the scale this morning, and the first number was a 1, not a 2.

Yep, 199.5.

This has been sort of an unofficial goal for me, because I remember as a teenager vowing I would never let myself get over 200. Then I avoided the scale for a few years, and by the time I stepped on one again, lo and behold, 220.

Now, I can't claim any great credit for this achievement. I owe the entire 5 pound loss I've had this week to the flu, which kept me on soup and cheese cracker rations for a couple of days.

Let's just hope I can keep it away now that it's gone.
