I bet even a month ago it felt like it would never be Oct. 17th :)

Again, well done. You should be very proud.

To be honest with you it wasn't until there was a few days left that I started getting ansy. I've only been eating 1000 calories or so a day and I've been fastin for the last 2 and 1/2 days and I was just like, "My God, I just want to weigh in so ocean eat normally once and for all! But today is the day. When my alarm woke me up this morning it was pretty special realizing today was a special day. I can't believe it's here already.

Thank you all for your kind words (and you can keep them coming... it's much more enjoyable than the terrible and negative things people have been saying).

I just arrived in Vegas and am about to board my shuttle to my hotel. So excited!! I'll talk to you all soon! :D

I hope the Wizard will inspect the scale and use himself as a metric to check the scale is reading correctly ;)

I hope Wiz weighs himself on his home scale when
he leaves and then checks her scale. Will the paramedics
be there in case HB throws her shoulder out from slapping
herself on the back too many times?

If 151.2 is the weigh in amount, she didn't just "cover the spread", she killed it by 10lbs!

Waiting for Wiz confirmation which will likely happen after scale has been tested for accuracy.

Before and after pics would be nice for those that couldn't attend the weigh in, I am sure it will be amazing to see the change in your appearance. EB can block them if he choses.

make no sense. I only block threads that I never

Oh, no. For that you'll have to wait six to eight (ten to fourteen) weeks (months) for the official results from the NIST...

Take the Dont's, pay the Line, it's in the bag.

Twenty pounds in almost three months? Please. I could drink a bottle of colon cleanser and weigh five less pounds in three hours.

If I laid 20:1 and let someone take it, I'd be a thief and a scoundrel, at this point.

Are you going to continue to post the lbs. eery Monday, HB. I fear that there will be no drama and suspense in Vegas when you are South of 155 by Mid-September!

right to speak..
