Hi Sheree Thank YOU ............. Great job keeping up with the exercise even while your mind is somewhere else... Good for you... I've been thinking and praying for your sisters quick recovery. My sister had 3 back surgeries in the past and I know that recovery is long & painful... She is in my prayers. Keep us posted on her recovery ok? Tammy

Diane, Can I just say......WOW, you are doing so great. I checked out your profile & you look wonderful. Congratulations on being in love ..... I'm so happy for you. You truly deserve it. Oh, & the exercise.... YOU GO GIRL.... Great Job Tammy

Thanks Lori...... Yes it is a great feeling. I've kinda went down fast these past few days, so I'm expecting to start to teeter here again. It always seems that when I hit a milestone, my body just likes to hang on (or tease me ) forever. Oh well, I know, just like all the other times, this too will pass. Wow, the 160's....look at you go .... Probably was that 12 miles you did last week. You crazy girl... Thanks Again Tammy

Hi Again (I had replied via email and just received an email from Obesity Help that that wasn't okay any more...) Thanks for the compliments. I have to admit I'm please with how I look in the red dress. I bought it for next year's Bariatric Extravangza that's in Feb. with the color red for it's theme color. Surprise, Surprise. and since it was only $13 bucks I just couldn't pass it up. It also gives me some added incentive to keep the weight off! You're looking pretty darn good yourself and you too have changed quite a bit and the 150 window will be passed before you know it. I didn't actually go to a trainer - the PT I've been doing for the last 2-3 weeks is due to pulling my quads when running for a fly softball in our first official game! I agree though that it would make a great birthday present. I'd love to go spend 6-8 weeks of intensive toning training like they do on Extreme Makeover. Luckily my clothes covers most of my flabbiness. Dawn

Yeah Tammy!!! LIFE ISN'T GOOD - IT'S GREAT!!!!! I'm so happy for you. Dawn
