Good for you Jenn1. A goal you set was high and you got there, that's amazing. A great inspiration for the rest of us.

Great! Flying should be quite a bit easier now that I'm 30 lbs down. I sure did have to REALLY squeeze that seat belt on my last couple of flights.

Flying back now. Fun trip.

So true the guys look better with hair loss. I tell my husband its just more skin to touch. Not such a good look on me. Seems most people hair grows back six months after it started to shed. I was not so lucky. Had to laugh I need one with a bit of gray hair in it. I posted a quick picture of it. http://www.bariatricpal.com/gallery/image/86250-year-1/

Wow!! You look great and you'd never know you were wearing a wig!!

blushing* thanks

Gowalking mountaingirl. She is one of the many family members I did not tell about my WLS. She seen me at a family event last August. I was 40lbs down. Her first comment when she saw me was..... "what a transformation" She has never had weight issues. I now weigh less than my step daughter. Family has seen a few photos. I'm understanding of peoples responses when they have not seen the gradual change. Just don't want my weight to be a topic while she is here to visit.

But of course it will be since she might not even recognize you. If you don't want it to be a topic of discussion during the visit you might want to consider discussing it with her in advance.

She was supportive until now. The issue seems to be I weigh less than her now. Again she is a healthy weight. It's the initial shock that gets me. Moving on with her stay. I'm over it

Just checked the news today they are asking residents to evacuate that live 10 miles away from the winery. The fire is 11% contained...No cancellation yet...Why am I so optimistic. It would be an experience to run next to the vineyards with a wild fire in the distance.

I was thinking of you today while driving north from CA to Oregon. We drove through so many miles of thick smoke from wildfires. In some places, just breathing was challenging.

Made 3rd place for women in my age group. 33 overall out of 586 runners. I'll take it.

I am jumping on the pic demand train.

Jamie You are an instigator. Lol I think I need a drink or two to be brave enough for that my friend.

I'm in my late 40's girls. If I show you better believe you better give me your pics!!!!!

Babbs. Thanks so much. I'm so happy you are so close to goal. Hope you celebrate big.

Congrats! You rock.

Thank you so much!!!

I just poured myself a glass of unsweetened iced tea w/sweetener, signed into BP & read your status, so I can relate. Never tried blackberry, sounds tasty

Jenn1, they always could see your flaws, but now they can also see your success. When you stand in front of the audience, remind yourself of how awesome you are and tell yourself that few in the audience could do what you have done.

IcanMakeit is so so right. I'm sure it's scary but you need to think positive even though it's not in our nature. I know you will do fantastic tomorrow!

Thanks for having my back Gowalking and Icanmakeit. Not walking away from the challenge to overcome my little fear.

good for you on getting rid of them - anything i can't "handle" is not allowed in the house - temptation is all that it is cracked up to be - keep up the good work - congrats kathy

I'm jealous. It's been too cold for my hubby to participate in things with me... Still pushing him *smile*

Woohoo!!!! Get it girl.

Xs! You go girl, I wanna be like you when I get younger (lol).

Jenn, I looked at your stats and you are rocking that sleeve! I'm going to private message you, I need to ask you some questions.

God willing I'll have the same problem soon

Kathy, You are too good to me. Yes I am in my fabulous forties and I'm also a new grandma. I just bought a jogging stroller to take my grandson out on my next 5K..

lol I guess I am a proudgrammy

Congratulations! You are a true inspiration!
