Just click on the link in my profile to my site. The updated picture is right on front. I guess I should say that I am still quite "thick" around the middle. I don't think I realized this until I saw these pictures. My upper stomach and waist are still prominant. And I think I have the biggest butt in the world!!! I feel like it's just so big it should have its own zipcode! LOL LOL Well, I'll just have to work on that. As for me, I am beginning chemotherapy drugs to treat my psoriatic arthritis. It should have with my MS too. Since both illnesses are autoimmune. I have had to take some steroid injections. . .so that along with the birth control shot have really screwed up my weight loss. Oh, well. . better to be able to walk and not be pregnant than to be bedridden, pregnant, and losing weight! LOL There's always a bright side. I'm so hoping these medications help me feel better, so I can exercise and really get back on track. Thanks everyone Leslie

Pam, Thats right summer will be here soon and this year I will be able to wear shorts in about 10 years and I'll be able to swim in my mothers pool in a swim suit. Go figure. I always wore a pair of long shorts and t-shirts. YEAH! Now I am excited. I love long dresses for summertime. I may even get away with a short dress for summer. I love goodwill and I do shop there, but my Mom is taking me on a shopping spree, so she wants to do me up right with some new things. I never buy expensive things for myself. Jenn

You do look lovely in black, but you would also be beautiful in those rich jewel tone colors you mentioned. You have a "winter" skin tone which is why black looks so pretty on you, but you can also wear lots of other colors too. Why not do a search for "color me beautiful" (or something similar. Color me beautiful was a book written in the mid to late 80's) on the web and actually see what colors would look best on you. But hey, if you like black, wear black!!! Whatever you are most comfortable with should be "the rule"!!!

Go Shannon Go Shannon You look wonderful!!! A size 9!!!! WoooHooo!!! I'm in a regular 14 or a stretch 12. I know you must feel amazing. Keep up the good work!!! ~Jae 275/200/180
