Alexis, you are beautiful!! I say that not only after looking at your pics, but reading the last couple of days of your blog. I absolutely LOVE your attitude, and as a 5'10" woman myself know EXACTLY where you are coming from. You GO, girlfriend!!

Oh, and about that big hair, forget it honey. You a Joisey girl! (I wasn't born here, so I escaped that particular curse.) :D

Thank you Alexandra! I used to fret that I'd never be petite. Petite girls are always so *cute*. But, there's no surgical cure for my height, so I decided that being "willowy" is just as good as being petite.

At my highest weight, I always felt stumpy and dumpy, even though I was still 5'10". Now that so much of that weight is gone, I can see that I'm not stumpy. I still have a ways to go, but now I marvel at my long fingers and arms and legs. I even have a nice long neck now. Never had a neck before...just a head and two huge shoulders. lol Even my toes are longer than some peoples' fingers. I thought it was ugly for so long...but it took a nasty drunk lady to teach me that it's not so bad! It's been a weird trip for me.

Joisey girls unite...big hair and all!

You look wonderful!

Alexis! You look awesome! I can't believe how much YOUNGER you look! WooooHoooooo!

WOW Alexis

Amazing, now that's Insperation .

The band we love does work.

Thank you Sue, Debra, Vera! It really is so hard to see your progress until you put a few pics up together.

Debra, I've been thinking I looked older! The fat in my face smoothed out all of my wrinkles! lol At 31, I have a neck waddle to die for! I didn't think I'd wind up with loose skin on my neck, but it's nothing that a lil neck lift somewhere along the line won't take care of. Thank you for the compliment though, I certainly do *feel* younger.

WOOHOO! You look great. I started out a little bigger than you so your progress is especially interesting to me. Congrats on how well you've done.

No, you do not look older! I think you absolutely look younger!

Deb

Hi Alexis,

Thank you for sharing your pics and your blog.

You are doing a great job with your weight loss and attitude. You are motivation to me and I imagine others as well.

You look fantastic!
