My daughter's younger SISTER!!

Heather, I LOVE it!! Keep those comments coming... who cares if they're from strange old men?! You're looking good! Tammy

For some reason old guys love to flirt with me. but my father taught me a trick to keep them in line. Call them Mr. It seems to work really well. I do it to my son to I call him Mr. Reese he says I'm Mr. Reese because I am big boy? you really good too Tammy or to quote a bad pick-up line. Girl you must be tired because you been running through my mind all day! later Heather 237/222/185?/125

THAT is really something! I'd be smiling in my sleep over that one! Amy

I have noticed recently, construction workers turning their heads--until they see my wrinkles . The best compliment I have gotten was from the surgeon's NP Friday when I went in for my check up. She looked at my abdomen and remarked about how good my skin was looking--going back into place. I responded that I did have a small amount of sagging below the navel and showed her. She said, "That's NOTHING. You look twice as good as people 1/2 your age. You have no idea what we see here!" Wish my FACE were wrinkling as little as my stomach!! Lois (NO WAY would anyone mistake me (55) for my daughter's (21 yo) younger sister--unless I was the younger sister with progeria!

Hey Lois, You ARE lookin' good!! And I'm a tad bit jealous of the "small amount of sagging below the navel!" That's awesome. I'm resigned to the fact that I will probably have to have this body nipped and tucked all over. I have bad skin to begin with, and losing 150 pounds (when all is said and done) hasn't done much to help the skin situation any. Just a reminder that My daughter is also 21 (ok, 22 next month) and I'll be 45 in 2 months!! I will admit that I was dressed a little young in new jeans (that fit,) a black top, and my hair in a pony tail. I normally don't dress that informal to church but I was running late and it IS acceptable at my church, so I just threw it on. Don't worry about the face wrinkles! Mine have quadrupled over the past 6 months, but I wear them as trophies... for now, anyway! Your beauty shines through Tammy

Just to clarify, I have NOT lost 150 pounds YET! I realized, when I went back to read this, that it sounded like that!! I don't want anyone accusing me of streeeeecching the truth! I haven't been weighted in a few weeks, but estimate my loss at just over 100 pounds! My GOAL is 150 pounds.

Wellit certainly WAS quite a compliment to be called your daughter's younger sister!. Lois

::::::::: sigh :::::::::: my days of compliments are LONG over. I guess that's a good thing? Friends, family, etc, are so used to seeing me at this size that they are starting to forget me as anything more (or less). Uh - I did have a COMEDIAN at the FunnyBone mention that I reminded him of "BLANCHE" in Golden Girls. ...and of course, he did it in front of all my girly-friends, so Its not like I could just pretend it never happened, ya know???? Me, being too blonde to realize just what the show "Golden Girls" was about, had to have my friends explain it to me - after they did? NO LIE, I walked right back in the door (we were on our way out) and walked up to "BODACIOUS" (the comedian) and hit him square on his arm and called him a big ol' bodacious butthole! Yes, it was done in humor and he took it that way, but he was also caught completely off guard and then tried to back peddle, saving his butt, and saying ..... noooooooooooooooooo, I said it because Blanche was the sexy one of the four. Whatever! Never did look it up to see if he was telling the truth, but my friends assured me he was. LMAO!! Good gawd, when did I get SO OLD that Im now considered part of the "Golden" crowd?

Hey, age is all what you make of yourself... You and I are the same age, GIRL FRIEND!! Love ya... miss ya... hope to see you soon! Tammy
