Here's me and Chris at my work's annual Christmas party. Thanks to Penni for posting them side-by-side.

You still more beautiful in person if thats possible.

Wow, I'm blushing here. Yes, Vera, the shirt was lovely! And I will bring it to the next clothing exchange since it's actually a little loopy on me now! Thank you everyone, especially Greg for making me blush. Now if I can just keep myself in check during the holidays. I have one of those jobs with a heap of goodies next to my office (I have the office next to the kitchen.) There's everything from gormet chocolates to a variety of baklava. So far, so good. I'm having bits here and there, but not going too crazy. I hope it's all gone before my next PMS cycle!

You look so beautiful ! Congrats!

Thank you, thank you my darlings! I snatched that beautiful white blouse from Vera during the Vegas Bash days during the summer. It was snug, but I hoped to fit into it by Christmas. And now I look at those Christmas pictures and wished I wore something tighter and more flattering. That "too-tight" blouse from the summer was really floppy and loopy on me! I LOVE MY BAND - DEAR SANTA, CAN KEEP IT? PLEASE???????????? OH PLEASE????????????/

Yes, Lisa, you were beautiful anyway, but you can really see the weight loss in your face. Thanks for sharing these photos.
