Oh My Goodness.....

 Rosa, is that you in that avatar or did you pull a model off the streets of Manhattan and have her pose for that picture?  VAVAVOOOOOM!   If my son didn't have a girlfriend, I'd be trying to fix you up if you're single.  He's a real sweetheart ad gorgeous to boot!

Now as far as my birthday,  I sent my son a ticket to meet me in New Orleans for four days to celebrate with me.  

Tee hee!  ;)  Thank you.

To be honest, I don't even know who that is!  I look at myself these days and I'm like "who the hell is that in my face?"

I guess I'm weird.  ;)  

I guess NO is as good an alternative as any.  But sad you're not coming here!  Soon, I hope...

 I always get there eventually.  If Zach is in NY, he's always getting calls about work and projects so he was glad to get out of town for a few days.  I've never been to NO.  He was there twice in the last year to shoot film and fell in love with NO.  I'm happy to take my tourist bucks down there.  It's hot in NO we we'll get to swim at the hotel's rooftop pool, as well as work out together.  I'm more into moving than eating.  

How much weight have you shed at this point?  You're doing amazingly well.  I love seeing you change and can so relate to asking who's that in your face!  :)

So I guess we're both asking, "Who Dat?"  haha - that's a NO joke.  Something about football (blah blah.)  

I'm really excited for you to get down there.  And you'll do tons of walking and swimming and all that good stuff.  Just saw your new photos and you look so amazing!  Your arms look great, tiny mama. 

I will weigh myself again on Tuesday.  I think I'm down to about 174 or so.  Started at 231 at my absolute highest.  So 57 lbs?  Wow.  That's a lot.  

I wore leggings and a sweater to church today (which is kindof scandalous).  I have to admit that my legs looked pretty amazing!  The ballet and running are helping, and I keep asking, "who dat?"  

Lee,

You are an inspiration! You are doing great and I am so happy for you.

I hope to always remember how I felt at 263 lbs. It will give me the strength to do what is needed to stay healthy.

 Char, I think that once we're morbidly obese, with everything that comes with it, we never forget.

This journey is very humbling.  Now if you start forgetting, I'll give you a swift kick in your gratitude list.  :)
