Great story!

I can identify with the sibling thing - I have an older and a younger sister and we've shuffled back and forth in different positions (according to weight) many times over the years... I'm now in the middle, but I was the biggest for a good long while there

congrats on getting to the "Littlest" position

Nicole

thank you so much, everyone, for your congratulations and warmth. the very concept that i could be an inspiration for others is in itself an amazing one to me!

this morning i weighed in properly, no little flash of numbers that then jumped back up, at 153.4. For me, as an ex-pat Brit who thinks in stones and pounds, that is a momentous milestone. Under 11 stone. I have not been this weight since *before* my weight gain times, ie about 13 or 14 years old...

if i can do it, everyone can!!!

deb
