Thank you Lorie!!

You did such a great job!! Scalini's was nice and they did a nice job setting the tables up so everyone could socialize. It was so great to SEE everyone!! AND to meet the folks I've not met before.... You all look sooooo good!!! (Believe it or not, I got home and just got a call from Joe 9:35 and he is STILL at work!!) I'm so glad I got to be there and I'll have pics up shortly. Take Care. Tami

Sandra, You are welcome. I am so glad I finally got to meet you and Boyce. We really ought to get together sometime! Cartersville would be Neutral ground between us! You look absolutely beautiful, there is no other word for it! and it is time to update that post pic! Lorie

Sandra, I just wanted to let you know that I've looked through the pics that Tammi took, and I have to tell you : you look fantastic.....you really do. I know that we all look better , when we loose our extra weight, but I think in your case it's someyhing really special You ARE REALLy beautifull, and I wish you all the best in this journey. hugs, Rita

One of these days I really will learn to come out of my shell!!! I had a BLAST!!! THANK YOU LORIE for such a great job! Dee Dee

Dee Dee, Your before pics show a very pretty lady nowyou're beautiful! I think everyone looked amazing!! But you do nee to loosen up a little! I had a ball too and your neice was a sweetheart! i told Jim on the way home, I wish I had thought and done a little something for the kids. Maybe next time. I am glad you had fun and I hope she did too! Lorie

Thanks for organizing the get together Lori! I had a chance to talk with some great folks. Next time I'll need to come 5 minutes BEFORE instead of after the appointed time so I can sit near you to chat. My, what a punctual group this is! I was so surprised to see most of the folks already seated at 5:35!!!! But, I guess that's why the group lost, what was it, just over 2,400 pounds!!!!! It's a warm, supportive group of highly motivated and disciplined folks! Sue

Don't feel bad Sue I was about the 10th one there!! This was only my second gathering and I have never met a nicer bunch of people. I talked to Beth Martinez when I got home and she said that even the people on the other side of the room clapped when they heard how much weight everyone had lost. It is so great and amazing what everyone has accomplished. You and I will have to chat more in April!! Lorie

Tami, You are welcome. I am glad everyone seemed to like it! It has always been a favorite place of mine and Jim's.I loved getting to meet everyone. I think everyone looks amazing!! It is so inspiring to get together and see everyone's progress! I am so sorry Joe didn't get to come. If nothing else I hope we get to see him at Stone Mountain. I cannot wait to see the pics! Lorie
