Stop the Presses: Late-breaking Development

From dictionary.com
cloud nine
–noun Informal. a state of perfect happiness (usually in the
phrase on cloud nine).
[Origin: 1955–60]
Okay, so if perfect happiness is cloud nine, I'm not sure what cloud number I'm on. Oh wait, yes I do. It's cloud 14, or 14.7 to be precise. That, my friends, was the news I got tonight when I had a body fat check-up at the gym. A year ago my body fat was measured at 36.3% and tonight it's 14.7%, belly fat notwithstanding.

Color me happy.

And proud.

Now seems like the perfect time to thank you all again for your tremendous support. Most of us didn't "meet" until January, but that was a bit of a blessing, I think. Getting to know all of you kept me focused and committed through the ugliness of winter. I appreciate you all so very much!

Congratulations Cammy! Wow, that is an awesome measurement! I would love to see 14% body fat and I think I can achieve it if I keep plugging away. Thanks for the inspiration!

Holy CRAP, Cammy, I didn't know body fat numbers went that low! You are totally my hero. I want to be you. Wait, I want to be Jillian. Okay, I want to be Jillian AND you! :-)

That is freakin' AWESOME and I am so happy for you. Screw the scale numbers...you got what's important. Way to go! (**does happy dance**)

Holy smokes, girl! That is truly amazing! I'm so happy for you. You must feel so proud!

Congrats!

WOW, what an amazing drop. I honestly thought that 22% to 24% body fat was normal healthy, I must be confused.

OH NO.....everyone else used the adjectives I would use! That is simply fabulous. You must be so proud of yourself. It's very inspiring to me - especially when I sometimes get frustrated with how slowly my weight seems to come off. If I (we?) can just be patient, look at the results we (you) can have.

Keep up the great work - and thanks again for all your encouragement on my journey. It means so much!
