You guys, you will be well out of the 190s club before I get there, but my goal is to be part of the 190s club by Valentine's Day. I am at 216 today.

Cher, I applaud you. Your goals are so close to mine. I, too, am 5' 8.5" and am shooting first for 165. I would be ecstatic at 150, so we shall see.

I am a California girl, having spent most of my life in San Diego, so right now, with a foot of snow outside my window and 22 degree weather, I envy you being in Southern California. I will be back for a vacation next September and will never tire of being in that corner of the world.

I so want to be part of this forum soon, so I will watch your challenge and root for you. Good luck on breaking into the 180s!

Susan
