I wanted to share this special wow moment with you all. Love yah ~Jilly~

OMG Jilly!  that's the first time i've seen your before pic... WOW!

I know it shocks even ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had one on my facebook a bit ago that shocked everyone!!!

I have come so far but I have worked so very hard. I dont ever  wanta go back.

(((Hugs))))

That is a WOW!  You go girl!  I do the same thing when I look at myself in photos.  You and Mike look happy!

Thanks so much honey!!! You and Aaron were my inspirations. I know Dr K wants me to be at goal already but I am happy with where I am NOW! I work so hard. Mike and I  are both  very happy thank you sweetie. (((Hugs)))

Yes, he wants me there too and I'm not.  But I know I've never been so close.  So back to the gym I go.  I will get there!  I have to.  I may not get to "his" goal, but I want to get to mine.  I know what I have to do, now I just have to get my mouth doing what my mind knows it should!

OMGOSH! I thought you were already at goal weight. Your a PEANUT!!! lol Dr K told me I have to now walk 5 days a week instead of 3 to speed up my weight loss. I said "UMM  I lost 130 pounds in 6 months" and he just looked at me. ha ha ha

We will get there and once we do we WONT GO BACK!!!! ;o)

A peanut?!  More like a cashew! (LOL)

Yes, he told me that I needed to up my exercise too.  Right after I told him that I had just walked 26 miles in 2 days.  He did the same to me, just gave me THAT look.

I wi**** were so easy.  I have actually gained in the past couple of weeks.  I feel miserable and I know I'm doing it because of stress!  I will never go back to where I was before, but I don't even want to get close to the 200 lb mark again.

OMG I soooooooooooooooooo know what you mean!!!

I hate when he gives us THE LOOK! ha ha

You wont go back there. You are too strong for that.

How are things with your grandkids? (((Hugs)))

They are doing good.  I'm going crazy!!!
