S K I N N Y!!!! that's what they called me today!

omg!  not sure what i've done differently today but no less than a dozen peeps have called me 'skinny' or 'thin' today!  i'm floating on clouds i forgot were there.  i actually saw a couple of friends that  i've not seen in a while (one a year, the other more than two years) and they were both shocked when they noticed it was really me.  elated and jubilant are words that just begin to describe what i'm feeling right now. 


since i still have 17# (*gasp, yes! only17#) left to goal, i still won't buy new jeans.  i went a couple days ago to the local goodwill store and bought some.  the jeans i'm wearing today look brand new, are a size 8, and make me look like i have a butt (sadly, i lost what little bootay i did have).  not sure if they are what's made everyone notice or what.  if so, i'm never taking this $5.99 jeans off!!!

wonder if i should buy a lottery ticket today???? 

YAY for you!!!!  Did you run and give them a hug????  I know I would have!  Keep up the good work and keep us posted!!!  Take care!

Nice!!!  I can't wait to be that close to goal!!  Congratulations on all your hard work!

Hooray for you!!!!! How about some pics for us?!!!!

thanks everyone! 

uh, pics.  yeah, no.  i'm still camera shy.  maybe always will be.  i did just have a trusted co-worker and friend take some on my phone (so that i could delete as needed)... i'll have to look at them some more to see if i can post them.  when i look at them... i don't seen thin at all.  nope, nope, nope.  let me look at them a while longer to see if i can post.  i promise to try.  :)

Great NSV. Buy one for me too. With your good luck we will both be winners.

OMG.  Goodwill is the BEST.  My daughter and I have discovered all of the best Goodwill stores in our area.  BTW, on Saturday's they have 50% off everything except close out stuff (at least in my area).  I've been shopping pretty much every Saturday for the last 5 weeks or so and I have to say that my new wardrobe is slammin' cute!  LOL
Keep up the good work-those last 17 pounds will be gone before you know it! 

oh how very much i hope you are right about these last 17 going away!!
