I'm being totally honest when I say this...nice job!  I've been working on losing the same 15lbs for about 6 months now, I know how hard it is. Also, being under 200 (in ONEDERLAND) is awesome!

My dog that I have now is a black lab and he is in an open relationship with LDY's dog.

I think it is awesome that you have lost the weight.  I actually have read your blog several times and it really was inspiring to know that it is possible to avoid french fries (I swear they put something in them to make them addictive!!!)  I have been trying to lose weight (yet again).  Congrats on being under 200- that is a huge milestone!!

That is an awesome accomplishment LDY! You should not be made to feel ashamed for that, I started out at 238 and am now to 218 and still hoping to lose a lot more!

LDY and her bllog are one of my hugest inspirations.  If anyone deserves the pedestal I was referring to, it's her.  End of story.

If you're complaining about being overweight, you don't simultaneously get to say you don't wish it were different.

Greasy, salty french fries taste pretty flucking amazing but have you ever eaten them after you've gone on like, a healthy binge for an extended period of time?  Holy barf, batman.

Oh I know what about you mean about the fries I promise! I have to just stay away from them, even one is my downfall. That's great, I need to start to working out. I used to walk and get lunch with a CW but then she quit and my other two CW's don't like to walk with me to lunch, I need to get back into that.
