Day 39 and I nearly cried!

It looks like today is going to be my last drops day because I am nearly out of drops and I don't know if I'll even have enough for dinner. So that means P3 a little early - great!
Yesterday I had a prawn tom-yum soup for lunch, and it actually had a very helpful effect in the bathroom later that afternoon if you get my drift, since I think it had been almost a week.
And so I woke up this morning feeling skinnier but the scale only showed a .2 lb loss, so officially my LDW will be 133.5. I have lost 18lbs in 39 days which I am really happy with. That's an average of just under half a pound a day which I think is the norm. And since I only had about 28 lbs to lose I guess it might be a bit slower than some, but my metabolism is one stubborn bugger and won't let go of my fat stores without a fight.
So you're probably wondering where the crying comes in to it? Well, I decided that it being LDW day and all, that I would try all my bikinis on, since I had bought them last year in a very optimistic mood but then never wanted to be seen in public in them without cringing. So I nearly cried when I felt that I could actually contemplate enjoying wearing them - my thighs have slimmed down, my tummy is almost flat (a few situps should help the tone there!) and my bottom even looked ok. I had to drag myself away from the mirror lol!
So if you are wondering, like I was, if this is going to be just another bogus diet to get your hopes up in the sky only to crash onto the rocks below, then this ain't it. It is sooooooooooooooooooo worth it!
Good luck to all of you with your amazing results and your amazing losses. You are all so worth it too!
