Week 40...I Got A New Attitude & New Pics Too!

What a wonderful ride this week has been! On Tuesday we had a great performance and I got a few new pics of me singing!

Then I had a whole new photo shoot! I have never felt so beautiful in all my damn life. For once I felt like the person I always wanted to emerge. She is here....oh yes she is!

I had a wonderful photographer and she made me so comfortable in front of the camera.

What a wonderful new life this is.

I turn 40 this week! I feel better than I did when I was 20!

I am going to have a party on Friday with all my girlfriends. We are going to take a Salsa class and then dance the night away and I am going to make a poster of all my new photos so share with everyone!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Come share in my joy!

Well done!! Happy birthday, and have fun enjoying yourself!

I am so happy for you. It is great to read about positive results.

Great Post!!! Glad you are so happy it makes me smile and I am so happy for you Great new pic. I am also enjoying the new and smaller me. I have been able to buy clothes and choose the ones I want to keep. That is so new for me. It was a real work out at the store yesterday! Trying on clothes is hard work! I must have been in the dressing room 20 times I just found so many nice things that fit it was just blowing me away. I only got a few things because I still have a ways to go. I tell you these feel good days are here to stay. Best wishes and Happy Birthday to you little Lady. imaluckydog

Your pics were awesome, you really lost that weight FAST! 115 lbs! OMG you are so beautiful! Happy Birthday, what a present to give yourself, you can have this size for the rest of your life and be healthy too! God is so good to us! I have lost 72.4 lbs so far and I was banded on July 29th, 2009 two months after you were. I hope to lose the 100 lbs by July 29, 2010! Did you ever have a time when you slowed down? Congrats, beautiful and a great voice, great body now, what more could you ask for? Thanks for being so inspiring to us all.
