Am Smoke free for 1 year on 5/15

Congratulations Amanda! That sure is alot of WOW'S! You should be soooo proud of yourself. Keep up the good work!

I'm slowly absorbing all the goodness that has come my way.. it is very new to me

You're doing great Amanda! I can't run anymore, but maybe I should set a goal to walk one of those 5K's. Gina

You totally can do it :) 5K is only 3 miles.. you probably do that now and don't even realize it :)

Holy CRAP!!! You look GREAT!!! Way  to go. Keep it up.

Hey Blair,
I just noticed your ticker and OMG.... the weight loss, in just 6 months, is AWESOME! You are an inspiration to us newly out. Hopefully, me starting at the gym will help progress my weight loss a little more!!! Great job!

Thanks Theresa. I need to update my pics. My size 36 pants are now hanging off me. I have been militant about working out and it has paid serious benefits. I was in NYC this weekend and my daughter and I walked (actually I walked and she the stroller) from Central Park West to SoHo in this heat and I freaking loved it! I sucked in the energy of the city. A year ago I would have cabbed everywhere. This weekend I felt alive and it was because I got rid of the weight. I also ate all the wonderful cuisines that NYC has to offer, I just ate smart. I delicious veggie omlet for brun*****helsea. Amazing curries in the West Village. Diet Snapple teas, soy crisps. I still love food. I just love it smartly now. And I mix it with exercise. It really isn't that complicated.... And sorry for the hijack Amanda....I am still proud of you! :)

Aww shucks Blair.... Thank you :)  I think we the people need another little blonde person sighting....  Chants.. we want more video... we want more video....

You are doing fabulously Amanda!!!  Great job!!!  Keep it up!!!!
