AND AND AND they finally put my new pic up and its on the message board and I dont look like a witch!!!!!! hehe So here's the rundown of MN... I DID fit on the plane, but it could be better... my butt fell asleep both ways and it was 10x's worse coming back. My friend looks awesome (she had surgery August 22, 2003 and is at goal) and I couldnt believe when we walked side by side and I saw our reflections I was almost her size! Wow I need a daily perception check. As far as our festivities... we went to a bar.... drank way too much ... hot tubbing was involved SHHHH! don't tell and we were so sick we slept til 5 pm on Saterday and realized we were done for the rest of the weekend... GOOO US!!! LOL so we watched Hollywood true story all day on E! Party over THEEEERE!!! Thats it for my confessions!!! Hope you all had a great weekend too!!!! Shawna The smiling girl

Hi Shawna, you are looking good girl! They finally posted my current picture too. I'm down 77 pounds but I know it must be frustrating to get to 99. Don't worry that one pound will be gone before you know it! Jill

Jill, Great new photo!!! Shawna, Sounds like you had fun! Glad to hear that your plateau broke, ONE MORE POUND! YAY!!! Tracy

Thanks Tracy, you need to post a new one too!! Jill

WOW! Jill! You are looking good. It's great to see your new face!!!! It's so cool to see us all changing!

Hi Shawna, thanks, it is very exciting to see everyone changing before our eyes. Jill

now if we could just get you to smile in your picture!! congrats on 99...maybe tomorrow morning you will be able to post that magic number!!!!! SO what did you pick as your poison at the bar???? I remember those days of over doing it and losing a day to recover...oops I meant 2 days to recover...now it would probably be 3-4 days!

That IS a smile! I won't weigh til the gym so we will see..... My poison at the bar is always cranberry and vodka(waay waay too many).... but I tipped that off with uhm.... 3 or 4 pineapple jell-o shots And just from personal experience- and I have heard this from several other post ops.... you dont get hung over the next morning... cause you are still drunk!!! I don't know how It doesn't leave as fast as it comes! It is weird... but don't go out for a big night on the town when you have anything of importance to do the next day..or so... lol

Hi there Shawna, Congradulations to you girl You have done wonderful. You deserve a and a pat on your back. Keep up the good work ok. This is hard work. I am glad you enjoyed your vacation. We will all have a for you. Keep it up.... LORRAINE
