Well, sorry guys for not posting in a while. I received a job opportunity and had to put my house on the market. It sold in 2 days and we are trying to get packed, get my daughter re-enrolled in school, set up my office, and handle old business and set up new business. I have also been to two weddings in the past two weeks. I have lost 48 pounds and I am 10 weeks out now. Things are getting better and my husband loves this new look. My attitude has always been pretty good and I have loved clothes since I was about 5. Well, the past two weddings I have been to have given me more attention than the bride. I walked across the room to get some watermelon and boy did I see and feel the stares! People were looking at me up and down. It felt GREAT! I started out at size 24/26 and I am now a 18 top and 20 bottom. I did the electric slide, cha-cha slide, and just danced at the reception with my husband. My mom brought me this short wavy black outfit to wear and I received about 50 compliments at the wedding. I need to be on T.V. EVERYONE asked what I was doing and I simply said that I was "cutting back." I don't mean to sound "all that and a bag of chips", but if I don't toot my own horn, who will? I look great, I feel great, and I received more compliments than the bride!! I am moving to a new location, my house sold quickly, and I will be an assistant principal at a very large high school. We are purchasing land now to build another house. I will be 32 on Friday and God is still GOOD!
