20 pounds - Finally

I get on the scale twice a week.
It sat on -19 pounds for at least a month. I think it was more like 6 weeks to 2 months. It felt like forever and at times I got discouraged. But then I took a deep breath and said to myself 'self, you are 19 pounds less than you were in 2010 and you are keeping it off, you are exercising more and eating healthier'. So I get on the scale on Sunday and I had to look twice. Finally, finally, finally it moved that one more pound and I can officially say I have lost 20 pounds.
Is it coming off as quickly as I would like. Of course not. But it is coming off. I like that part. Down 2 pant and dress sizes. Got rid of a bunch of things I don't like or are to big and bought myself a couple of pairs of shoes that I feel sassy in. I wanted to feel good and I wanted to feel sexy and my shoes help me do that. My foot size has not changed in 30 years so I figured I could wear these for the next few years no matter what size I am.
The other huge thing I have noticed is that I can sleep on my stomach without waking up with a back ache. I don't sleep like that all night like I did when I was younger (like 18) but I can do it for a while and sleep so soundly when I do. I think it is because my muscles are getting stronger.
What do you guys think?
