Awww... thanks. I feel kinda beautiful now too. My outside finally matches my inside a bit better. It helps that my hair is growing back in (LOL I have it sticking up EVERYWHERE - it's funny how I kinda shallack it down each morning!)

Thanks. I do too. And it was with my camera phone. I'm redoing my business headshot later this month too. My old one looks nothing like me now. :)

Hubby likes that last one because he says it fits my personality... I look like I might have something up my sleeve (hardy har har har)

Candy,
You're looking fabulous! And, yes, you are gorgeous!

BUT........Your post got me! Damn you! I'm usually not an emotional reader, but I gotta say that your attitude touches me. You are so positive and upbeat and don't pull any punches. You're one insightful woman.

I'm just beginning to have to deal with the loose, wrinkly skin on my belly (I still ignore the bat wings cuz I'm choosing to live "in de Nile" and being a guy, I can pretend I'm buff! LOL) So, I love your attitude - Yup it sucks, but so friggin, what, right? Beats the you know what out of the alternative!

Thank you for bringing a smile to my face tonight. I needed it.

Glad I could make you smile. You know... I've always been a pretty positive person (oh, in my head sometimes not so much LOL) but I really do believe that if you put yourself out there and if you put what you want out there, it will find you.

Ya know what... have fun with that wrinkly skin. I have been known to flap it at my husband (*****sponded "yeah... VSG gives you wings!!") *insert eyeroll*

You got this. You are doing amazing. Look at how far you've come. You will be at goal before you know it. Until then... enjoy it. Be silly. Be seriously. Be yourself.

You are welcome. You're coming up very soon. I remember that week very well. I was starving and snippy because I REALLY missed my diet coke. *laughing* But you know what... I'd do it again. I'd do it 4 times for what I have now. You can do this. I have faith in you.
