WWWOOOO HHHOOOO JENNI!!!! Those are FABULOUS NSV's!! I can't wait

till the day that I show my sister up.....(she has always been MUCH

smaller than me..ALWAYS)!!! Now THAT is sweet revenge...your right!!

AND, from a size 24 to 14? I am truly impressed. You are such an

inspiration to me Jenni and have been since the day I met you in

Mexicali. I was having surgery and you were in for your fill. Am I

right that you only have about 30 more pounds to go? You are

AWESOME!!! Keep it up, girl. SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!

Jenni My Friend,

I AM SO RIGHT THERE WITH YOU on the "Sister" comment. My sister has humilated and embarassed me on and off for the past 25 years over my weight and she's obese herselfl! She just always managed to be at least 1 size smaller than me. Well, she doesn't know about my surgery (and NEVER will) and she saw me for the first time in months just yesterday and she just about messed her pants! And you know what? I enjoyed EVERY awesome minute of it in my size 16 jeans... So, you're not alone. Sometimes our loving family members are the worst and it's so rewarding to not be the "fatty" any more.

My husband, 7 year old son & I just returned from a 2 week camping trip to Yellowstone and on Monday I trudged(sp) back to CURVES just in time for my weigh in. Imagine my joy when I weighed in with a 9 lb. wieght loss. I really did hike my buns off at the park!!! I wore shorts and sleeveless shirts for the first time in many, many years on the hot days and I looked GOOD. I was able to keep up with the guys on all the trails and walkways and hills and mountains we walked. That was the absolute best reward of all. No huffing & puffing and asking them to "hold up a minute." I've now lost a total of 68 lbs & 66.5 inches since my surgery on 8/11/05. Life is GOOD!

Hugs, Liz
