I am always so amazed to see how young people look after they have lost weight ... You look fabulous, Ms Lisa!!! Like you are half the person you were before. What a fantastic change! You should be on Cloud 9! So glad you posted new pics ... It is so exciting to see such terrific changes in others ... Keeps us inspired & encouraged! God bless you ... Dawn & Nick PS: What kind of events are you attending where you go in costumes?

Thank you!

We're in the Society for Creative Anachronism -- we re-create Medieval times at various events. Tim and I have just gotten started good, which is why we have only been to two events (though we got to meetings and workshops and fighter practices). It's really cool -- I've learned to weave on an inkle loom, and to make beautiful braids on a kumihimo loom -- and we've made lots of friends and have a lot of fun. Of course, I have to make more garb for me -- other than the kimono, I only have the size 3X garb....

OK, I HAD TO LOOK UP THE WORD "ANACHRONISM" -

DAH-UHHH. SOUND LIKE TONS OF FUN MS LISA. I LOVE THE COSTUMES & THE IDEA OF LEARNING OLD-WORLD ARTS & CRAFTS. TAKE A PIC OF SOME OF THE CRAFTS YOU CREATED & POST THEM ON YOUR PROFILE SO WE CAN SEE THEM. DO THEY TEACH OLD-WORLD JEWELRY & POTTERY MAKING? HOW OFTEN DO THEY HAVE THEIR EVENTS? I FINALLY GOT RID OF ALL MY 4xxxx - 1x CLOTHES; MY CLOSET IS BARE!

I KEPT ONE PAIR OF PANTS & ONE SHIRT JUST FOR FUNNY PICTURES ... LIKE, "LOOK MOM ... NO PANTS" (AS THEY FALL OFF). IT SEEMS SO ODD TO LOOK IN MY CLOSET & SEE "NORMAL" SIZED CLOTHES. FROM A 4xxxx TO A LARGE, & FROM A 26W-28W TO A 12/14 PANT. I CAN GET INTO A 10 BUT MY TUMMY BULDGE WON'T ALLOW THE ZIPPER TO GO ANY FURTHER THAN ABOUT HALF WAY UP. MY LEGS & BOTTOM FIT IN A 10 BUT NOT THOSE DOUBLE ROLLS ON MY TUMMY, NOT YET ... BUT, SOON! I WAS SHOOTING FOR A SIZE 10 AFTER PLASTICS. SINCE I STILL HAVE 34 #s TO LOSE & THEN PLASTICS, I MAY ACTUALLY GET INTO A SINGLE DIGIT SIZE LIKE AN 8 ... WOWOWOWOWOW! IF I'D JUST GET MY LAZY BACKSIDE MOVING & DO SOME EXERCISE, I'D REALLY TIGHTEN UP & SLIM DOWN. LIKE, SMACK ME! THANKS AGAIN FOR THE PICS ... GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICK

We do indeed have workshops on pottery and jewelry making, woodworking, armor making, all sorts of stuff like that. Events happen all over the southeast pretty much every weekend; you can look at the Acorn (our kingdom's newsletter) online for the coming events: http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/ though it's a sort of quiet time now, with the holidays coming and all.

I have no hope of getting down to a size 8 -- I'd like to get into a medium, though! I've cleared out all my old clothes, also; the 1X and 2X are going to my niece, and the 3X are going to a friend.... Lisa

THANKS FOR THE INFO ... I THINK YOU'RE GONNA BE SURPRISED AT HOW SMALL YOU GET, MS LISA. I'M SHOCKED AT MY CHANGES ALREADY & I STILL HAVE 34 #s TO GO + PLASTICS ... CONGRATS ON NO LONGER NEEDING THE X SIZED CLOTHES ... THAT IS FANTASTIC! GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICK
