What types of exercise did you do this week? walked and swam 3. How much weight did you lose? 2 pounds Total loss? 180 pounds gone forever!! 4. What was your biggest challenge? Dealing with food pushers (Mom and MIL) 5. We've all almost got a year, what's the best WOW moment of the year? It had to be when we arrived in Holland to stay with family, and my husbands cousin walked right past me, never recognized me. Then again buying size 12's and having them fit is also a huge moment ... this time last year I was lucky to find size 34 that fit. Being offered an outstanding new job that is more than double my current salary and includes foreign travel is right up there too (I've accepted the offer and we're working on a start date, they are trying to work it out that I go to the Philippines for two weeks to train and meet the staff there at first.) How exciting is that? Sorry this year has been so full of WOW's that I can't just pick one! *Fun bonus question: If you had to pick a theme song to explain your life/represent you, what would it be? Can't think of one ... sorry!

Now I'm truly jealous!!! and so very happy for you, Jan. That is so exciting. That would definitely be my dream. I'll just have to live vicariously through you!!!!

Thanks Amber! It's amazing how much my life has changed for the better this past year! Jan
