I am in agreement - 5 more pounds gone by August 12th!!!

Thank you very much for your kind words!!!
I know what you mean about the "small amount" we have to lose seeming insignificant to some people, but we really should take no notice of that!!!
I know that I still have a lot of extra wobble on my upper thighs and the butt is still pretty prominent compared with women I know who have more athletic figures. OK, to most people, I probably look OK as I am, but the peskiest thing is at my current weight is that I am between sizes!!! A US 8 is what I'm aiming for, but most size 8 jeans are a tad too tight still, and the 10s are starting to look really baggy and unattractive, too!!! So, to find clothes that fit nicely, I have to lose about another five pounds, whether I like it or not!!!
Plus, I really do not like the way my thighs jiggle about when I see myself in a full-length mirror walking around after a weigh-in!!!
Take care and good luck with your own project!
