Dang, 110 at 5'9? The lowest I got was 130. I weighed 165 when I got sick, so to lose 35lbs in about 2 months scared the crap out of a lot of people I know 
My favorite comment when I was losing was from a co-worker "wow what diet are YOU on? You look great!" I wanted to say so badly "the 25 trips to the can a day diet. Go eat an entire container of prunes and experience the joy." But she didn't know and I was just bitter.
Good to see you're doing well.
