23 down.......? more to go! I just couldn't let the day go by without acknowledging our 23 month LID anniversary. Not something really to celebrate, other than the fact that we've kept our sanity for this long (or maybe not!). But that is 23 months behind us, and for every month behind us, that's one less in front of us! So, I guess it's not that bad of a thing! So for everyone else waiting along with us, we ARE getting closer and although it's very hard to even imagine anymore, this WILL happen!

As of the first of the year, David & I, along with 5 other family members are in a little friendly family "Biggest Loser" competition to see who can lose the biggest percentage of their body weight by the 4th of July. Our first month's numbers are in, and I am SO proud of all of us! We lost a combined weight of 86.6 pounds (between 7 participants)! Tracy & I lost the most (16 pounds each in only one month!), but Tracy had the biggest percentage ('cause I weigh alot more than she does!). Watch out, Tracy! I'll be working extra hard this month to take over the lead! Our reward, besides being healthier and thinner, is $700 (we each contributed $100 to the reward)! At this rate, we will all need the money to buy a new wardrobe!!! Keep it up, everybody!
