Who's lurkin' ????

Hi Mo, Glad you made soem headway I started out strong but my knee started acting up and so I stopped. lol I really need to get all this done before my surgery. lol By the way maybe you can take those floppy discs to ritz camera and they can put those pics in cds for you... Take care and have a wonderful night. hugs, Cira

Oh, I can put them on CD's it's just a matter of looking to see what's on the disks. At one time or another I've probably put all the pics on a hard drive somewhere, but have had crashed drives and never put the pics on a CD to back them up. I'll make sure I do that THIS time. Hugs, Mo

I was here and gone early. I did sleep in a little today. I have had an amazing day. Last night I realized that I have bones: collar bones, cheek bones, and hips bones. I can actually feel them. I ran my hand down my side and realized that the saddle bags have disappeared. I also tried on a shirt I had purchased for my sister for Christmas. My family holiday gathering had been postponed due to illnesses and we scheduled again for today. I had to search out all of the gifts as they had long been put away. For fun, I tried on the shirts. They fit!!!! I kept one. The shirt is a medium. I plan to wear it tomorrow. This morning I went through my dresser looking for something to wear to this gathering. I wanted something casual but nice. I tried on several pairs of my pants and realized that I just can't fake it wearing them anymore. I grabbed a pair of jeans my youngest sister had given me, but they were way too small at the time. The fit me like a glove today. Size 16W. I was a 24 when I started this journey. I loved hearing everyone in my family say "Look at you skinny." I was a bit apprehensive before I went as family often times can be so hard on each other. I felt so much support from them today. For once, I felt complete support. Wow!! They even had a beautiful cake for my son and niece. Ruby is 6 tomorrow and Geoff will be 21 on Thursday. I didn't even want to stick my finger in the frosting. I also needed to walk a little after we ate. I finally sw my sister's entire yard. In the past, when we would gather in the summer everyone would be out in her yard playing. I just sat thinking I don't want to walk all the way out there. I walked her yard with ease today. She has lived in her house now for about 6 years. What a lovely yard she has too. Tomorrow I go to Bally's for the free membership. I can't wait to see what they have to offer. Aime

I bet you looked just smashing today! Can't wait to see you tomorrow. Hugs, Mo

Ohhh Aime, I have tears in my eyes for your beautiful WOW moment. i am just so happy and proud for you. Girl a size 16 huh? Amazing in just such a short time. Tell me what does your male friend think of that? I would love to hear. I am so happy to read that you had a wonderful time with your family and that they supported you. I hope I can make it tomorrow so I can see you. Hugs, Cira

He is proud of the progress I am making. Of course, his responses are usually with a remark about just what he is planning the more I lose weight. (intimately) I am looking forward to meetin you tomorrow also. Aime

Aime, what a day of WOW's! You made me smile this AM. WTG. TraciL

Thanks. You and everyone here on the forum make me smile every day. Aime

Hi Mo! You're a true inspiration on this exercise thing. Now Kelly has joined the bandwagon. I'm starting to look bad! Wish we had a gym close. Would love to join one. Until then, I guess I'll keep doing hand weights and I purchased "The Bean". Really cool way to get the sit-ups in without killing the back. Nice weather is coming, so walking is just around the corner. Keep up the good work you two! TraciL

Traci I am sort of fascinated by this Bean thing. What is it ? Are you home and not in WV ? Are you coming to tea today Hugs, Mo
