Alright, this is going to sound really silly but it's also one of those "yay, God! Look how far I've come moments."
Every year, we have to take a health risk assessment for insurance purposes. We get slightly lower rates if we do and this year, they are actually "charging" more for people with risk factors such as smoking, obesity, etc. So now, in addition to just feeling good having lost all of this weight, we also have an incentive to keep it off! The assessments were last month but the follow up appointment to get results was today for me.
The one thing I really like about this test is that it shows your year-to-year progress. My first year, my score was 65 which isn't exactly great, but it's not where you want to be either. I actually scored negative points that year for being morbidly obese. Well, today I am a 97 out of 100! The only item that "held me back" was that my cholesterol ration was just a couple of tenths over the acceptable range of "excellent". UGH! So close! I always hated ratios in math class!
So, that's the good news of the day not to mention the fact that this year, I got a better score than Rich so I have bragging rights for the next year!

Good for you, Becca! That is an awesome testimony of hard you have worked to become healthy. How reaffirming. Of course it never hurts to have one up on the husbandry either :)
Congrats Beth! 97 sounds like a great number to me.
