Official weigh-in day tomorrow, total lost should come in somewhere between a Bald Eagle and ten dozen eggs

I think perhaps I'll revise my goal of 60lb by Valentines - somehow doesn't seem quite right anymore....

Lol that's quite a Valentines day!

hahaha @ 60lbs

I lost a bale of hay. But I prefer to think of it this way - I lost one of my children....in the nicest possible way!
