Nana, does not want to meet a "sweet old lady" in person I am sure....haha!!!

I'm not sure how an in-person encounter would work out - I'm pretty feisty, but Nana's a lot bigger than I am! I could try hitting her with some polysyllabic words, but I don't think I could reach high enough to poke her in the eye with my pen...

Jean, I have this memory that "sweet" was not the adjective Nana used to describe you! But I was laughing so much as she called me a "lonely stalker" that I may have missed that one!

LOL, Kate! I had forgotten her stalker paranoia thing!

Lonely Stalker must be one of your alter egos, huh?

Look at you, cutie!

Good timing Deb! I even have a new "after" pic to share!

Thank you,

Me, Oct. 2007- 335 lbs.

Me, August 2010, 216 lbs.

This was taken at my 30th HS reunion last summer. The funny thing was that so many of my class mates recognized me and asked why I didn't attend the 20th reunion. I couldn't figure it out at first because I WAS at the 20th. I just looked like my "before" picture above and was unrecognizable! Who would have thought that celebrating 30 years post HS would be such a GREAT experience?!

Lap Band surgery Nov. 2008, SW 335. Lost 116 lbs. LB removal May 2013 gained 53 lbs. Revisied to RNY October 14, 2013, new SW 275.
