My first goal was 230lbs because that is what is on my drivers license.  Now I'm 229lbs and it feels like I can see the light at the end of the 200's. I appear to be losing about 10lbs a month, so it's only a few months away. I've been working out in the pool, so it might come off a bit faster. My next goal is the lowest weight I've been at in the past 10 years which was 214.

There's a NSV, I'm shrinking out of my swim suit! I'm gonna pick a new one up since most should be on clearance. That way I'll have one for the rest of the year. 

My BMI is obese, instead of Extremely Obese!!! That is wonderful to me! I know I still have a long way to go, but being under a 40BMI is something I haven't seen since I learned what a BMI was.

I also cut all my hair off. It's been driving me crazy with the hair falling out. It was pretty long (for me) and I just went nuts this week and went in and had her cut it. It went a lot shorter then I was planning, but I like it.

haircut looks terrific.  And good for you for reaching that goal.  they will keep rolling on. 

5th month was slow for me, then I picked up again for a few months.  You never can tell, just stay on the path and it will come off.

I genuinely like your new do.  I think shorter hair is very liberating.

I'm glad you're seeing the rewards of your weight loss.
