10 lbs a month is terrific. Wow you must have made big changes to your eating to see such great results, congradulations. 165 sounds like a wonderful birthday present to look forward to. You're worth it, and I can appreciate the fact that you've set a mid point goal too. I find I accomplish more in life when I take things in stages. You sound like your well on your way to having your birthday wish come true. Maybe the wish fairy and the whoosh fairy are related????
Yours Truely Jo-Ann
