I leave Friday morning for a week in the Florida Keys...I am not stressed about sitting next to a stranger on the plane and worrying about my flab busting over the seat and touching them. I have a new size 14 bathing suit that looks adorable on me and makes my waist look tiny and my boobs look great. I'm going parasailing with my 9 year old and am not freaked out about looking like a flying whale....I'm not worried I'll get too hot or have to take a break from walking. I am just happy and excited and feel like a kid at Christmas

I'm almost 1/2 way to goal, about 60 pounds to go and I feel like, for the first time ever, I'm living my life and not just watching it go by because I'm fat and insecure. Life...is....good...

Hey girl... Have a wonderful trip take pix & I'm sure that bathing looks fabulous on you.

Cool! Can't wait!

Because I'm a dork (and I'm sure the lady next to me thought I was nuts) distance from belly to tray....

And distance from thigh to tray.....

Ouch! Been there done that...hope it didn't ruin your day.

I wore a strapless dress today for the first time since I was 8 or 9. A little awkward at first but ended up loving it and not fretting the upper arm jiggle! Also wandered around a grocery store in key west in nothing but a bathing suit... Previously would had a shirt or towel or SOMETHING covering that stuff up!

Alright!

And I lost 2 pounds during the 8 days I was gone....obviously I should stay on vacation all the time!!!! Now to the grocery store, starving to death and NO food in this house.

That's great - have a great vacation and lose weight! Vacations have often been dreaded by me (airline seats, roller coasters) but as a family we are already planning a trip for next year and I can't wait!!!

It was truly awesome! I still have 60 pounds to go but I fit in the seat fine, had extra room with the belt, could lay the tray flat! I transferred in Atlanta yesterday and had to go from terminal A to terminal E. I had 2.5 hours so I walked it instead of taking the train, was just a nice stroll, no huffing/puffing/sweating...my fellow vacationers gave out snorkeling before I did cuz they got tired. It was awesome not having to worry about who is be sitting next to or when I'd get a chance to sit down
