I'm Home with pics

Wow.. what an amazing time we had. The weather was perfect the area was so beautiful we didnt want to leave.. but alas.. we must come home and begin our week. We did some fishing.. I caught a hugh carp but not trout.. no one caught anything.. how sad.. but we did give it a good effort. We have a great mountain bike trail and had a great time riding through the hills, mud and streams. I dont ever remember having such a nice time camping.. I have dreaded so much for many years because of my weight, but this time the family had to keep up with me and I wanted to be in the pics for a change. There were tons of wow moments this weekend.. riding my bike in the mountains, climbing hills, laying on my stomach on the grass playing with the kids without getting winded from the presure of laying like that.. the most amazing one was.. I actually slept in the same bed with Jo. I have always needed the whole bed because of my size which means the kids get squished together to make room for Jo in another area. When we were getting ready for bed, Jo said.. boys you take this one.. Carla and I can sleep here.. I looked at her like.. what.. she say.. we can fit now.. I didnt even think about it.. Not only did I sleep in the same bed with her.. but with two poms.. omg.. remember this bed is a twin size bed.. I just couldnt believe we could all fit there and we both slept soundly with plenty of room. What a life wls has given back to me.. I can never express how great this weekend was and all the wows I got to experience and enjoy... and I look forward to so many more wow moments in the future. Check out my album camping if you want to see the pics from my trip.. enjoy.. and I did miss you.. I did look but dared not type with that little remark on there...lol.. Its sad we can seen pics of the trip while we are still on it to grandma's.. lol..laptops are a good thing.

Carla! I am soooooo happy for you! My gosh, you look SKINNY in your pictures! You have such a great figure ... honestly, you would never be able to tell you were once overweight. You look amazing! And quite a nice tan too ... I'm jealous! And I absolultely adore your red shorts and bike! I'm so glad you have a wonderful time ... you will have to do that more often this summer! Nothing is holding you back now! Deanna

Carla, I am so glad you had such a wonderful time. Look at you girl!!!! What a difference your life is now. Kel

GREAT pics Carla - they brought a smile to my face. I LOVE the one where your little girl is one side of the mud and her bike is the other **chuckle** I agree with Deanna - you look amazing - like a thin healthy person, not like a fat person pretending to be thin (if you get what I mean!!!) Beautiful location too. Glad you had such a good time. The first of many more I'm sure. Thta's what WLS is all about - getting ours lives back (or getting our lives!!)

you look great!, what a wonderful family
