:scared: :)

Mandi the pictures are amazing. You have done so well and your parents are going to be so proud. Looks like Dan has lost some weight too.

Geeeeeeezus Mandi....

you look SPECTACULAR!!!!! I don't even know where to begin so let me just say: ALL OVER!!!!!

Hey....Dandi looks hot too....he has lost weight as well, eh?

So, if seeing those comparison shots don't give you a dose of reality....nothing will!!!

You are gonna blow them away at Xmas, I tell ya!!! Just don't stand too close to people or them pointy collar bones might poke someone's eye out!!! Then, there goes all the fun!

Thanks for sharin'!

Mandi you look great, your mom and dad will think a stranger has come to visit. they are not going to recognise you as their daughter, even Dan is looking good, how much weight has he lost?. Thank you for posting the pictures.

Maria:)

You look fabulous, girl. :clap2: There is a big difference. You should be feeling very proud of yourself right now. Your parents are going to be amazed when they see you at Christmas. :faint: Congratulations!!!

Mandi. I missed the pictures . can you post them again.? Thankyou.

HOLY CRAP Mandu!!! YOUR A FREAK ALRIGHT! FREAKIN GORGEOUS THAT IS!!! I'm in awe!

awww... guys, you're too nice. I should just come to you when I need a boost!

Actually, since that picture... I think Dan's only down about 10lbs. Maybe it's his new 'mature' glasses.. He was so sick of being 'the guy with the blue glasses' for 4 years!

Loriley, the pictures should be on the last page (?)

Thanks so much, again, guys. It really does mean alot to hear that.

It is kinda funny but I am looking forward to your Christmas more than I am looking forward to mine. I am anxious to hear about your parents' reactions to your weight loss.

haha, I hope I have good stories to tell!

haha, I hope I have good stories to tell!

Your photos are great Mandi.Your parents are going to see a big difference in you.

Oh my God Mandi, you look wonderful, I can't believe how well you are doing ! congrats to you

This is a headline msnbc peculiar posts.

this is the direct link www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15957759/

(I am so excited I figured out how to put a link!!!!!)

When I saw that, I wondered if this is where you are from...

haha, no... I missed out on that! Not where I'm from... but a couple hours away. I saw that on the news last night!

And you guys, stop... you're making me blush :phanvan

I was just reading someone's post about how she doesn't have any friends, cause she lost them all due to her not wanting to ever go out and be seen, all fat, and wearing yucky clothes. Then I remembered that that's what I did.

I don't know, maybe I'd still be doing it, if I knew people around here.... people who I don't regularily see, and might be surprised to see 'what I've become'. I've stayed away and avoided the hell out of old friends, and family members, because I didn't want them to see me. I'd get so stressed when I'd find out family was coming to town, and find any excuse to not be there for it.... and seeing former school-mates anywhere... I'd turn and walk the other way.

Now, I'm still thinking it, but right now, because I don't want them to see me YET. That's the good thing about living so far away and not being able to see anyone for so long.

I think I forgot to tell you guys this... when we went to Halifax, we stayed with a friend of ours from Saskatoon. I haven't seen him since either Jan or May (can't remember if it was when Dan left, or came back to visit)

We arrived, and he met us outside, to guide us in his car to where we were supposed to park. He and Dan took his car, and me and Lauren took mine. Dan later told me that this guy, Sean, said to Dan that he saw us walking up to his door and didn't even recognize me, and that I was looking really good. That was nice to hear.

But isn't is INSANE that even after something like that, that I wouldn't REALLY believe it?! I mean, he said it to Dan... it's not like he said it to me, and I can think "Oh, he's just trying to be nice." He said nothing about it to me... we're just not that kind of friends.

It's 2 am... gotta get up in 5 hours. AHH!! Why can't I sleep?!
