NYC BOUND

well, I'm off to NYC tomorrow on a business trip for 2 days. I will be having dinner Monday night with a group of girlfriends that I have not seen in 8 years (we spent our early adult lives together in NYC when each of us had a big city dream in our hearts); only one of them knows I've had surgery and she has been sworn to secrecy! I really don't want them to know because if they can't really tell I've lost weight, I don't want them feel obligated to say something.

The last time we were together (a NYC reunion 8 years ago), I weight around 360, I could not walk with them anywhere, we had to cab everywhere because of me, and I fell and shattered my kneecap. I can't wait to walk the city with them but they better darn well be prepared to keep up with me!!!

Today I am 191 and into a size 14 jeans.

So, everyone be well and take good care of your new selves! See you in a few days. Love, Reenie

Have a super trip!!! It's wonderful being able to do the things we have excluded ourselves from for years ... I know that mr mo has trouble keeping up with me some times when we are traveling now. Hugs, Mo

Hi Maureen; Have a blast in NYC!! I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but I was born and spent the first 22 years of my life there. Now I hardly ever get a chance to go. It's a great place to walk around and I'm sure that the "NEW YOU" will enjoy it even more. This Holiday season is also a great time to hang out there with all of the lights and displays. Enjoy and talk to you when you return. Mike

Oh Maureen - you KNOW they will notice. And what fun it will be to hear the story of how their jaws drop! I am so happy for you - you are getting so skinny and leaving me behind in your dust!

Size 14! Wow! Dina
