Just an Update

Hi Everyone, I have not posted in such a long time & I cant believe 7mos have come & gone! I went from 310lbs to 202lbs =) My size 26 is now a size 14/16 and I could not be happier!!!!!!!!!! Although, I'm sure like many of you, I cant always see the weight loss on myself. I had a few OMG moments recently. 1st) I went to Great Adventure (a theme park here in NJ) I had not been there in 11yrs (brief story, the Batman ride was the big thing when I was about 17. I went with all my friends & no joke it took two workers to close the harness around me to get on the ride, needless to say, I had not been back.) Sooo, my cousin called & invited me to go w/her and her 2 daughters & I jumped @ the chance & I FIT on Batman (and every other ride) when I got on Batman, I didnt know whether to laugh or cry, it was soo amazing to have the room to ride the ride & close the harness myself =) WOOHOO, I cant wait to go back. Then, I was watching my Bro-in-laws wedding video (he got married in Oct '04) on Saturday night & when I came on the video to do my reading, my mouth dropped. I could NOT believe that was me. Was I really that big? WOW, I was totally dumbfounded. It's funny, b/c the day of his wedding, I thought I looked so great in the dress I wore, but now, looking back, I have no idea who that person was...lol! Another thing I noticed, was me @ work. I was ALWAYS the late person, coming in @ 9:15 instead of 9. Now, I'm here by 8:30. If I walk in at 9am, I feel late (lmao, we work 9-5). It's crazy these little changes, but I am now embracing my life & living it, instead of watching it pass by. Hope everyone else is doing just as good =) Amie

You are doing fantastic. I know all to well your feelings on the amusment park ride. I can't wait to go this year and not have to worry about fitting in the seats!! Kim 286/203/150ish?
