Just a quick update!

Things have been busy, busy, busy since I've gotten back on the road traveling for work.  I posed a question last week to business travelers and mentioned I hadn't lost a pound in two weeks of being on the road.  I received some great advice on each board I posted the question on and this week I suffered (ha ha ha) a FIVE pound weight loss.  You guys and girls ROCK when it comes to advice.  I just don't seem to catch much time to post, but I do try to catch a quick glimpse each day to see who's doing well, who needs advice and how the world is treating everyone in general.

Last night I saw someone I hadn't seen in probably 18 months.  A casual wave as we passed, then I heard "Jodie, is that YOU???" .... yep, he said he almost didn't recognize me!  Of course, that was about 18 months and 80 pounds since he'd seen me.  I just had to keep on smiling the rest of the night!  Then later in the evening another friend spoke and said they weren't sure it was me at first! LOL 

I've lost the W off of my clothes.  I can now comfortably fit a regular 16, probably can start to fit in some 14's and coming out of a 24W 12 weeks ago, that is a major accomplishment.

Above and beyond all the physically changes, the best part of all is I FEEL fan-freakin'-tastic.  I'm walking more than ever.  Last night I bounded up the steps whereas 6 months ago I would've had to stop half way and catch my breath.  I wake up each day feeling well rested and ready to take on the world. 

Life IS good.

You go GIRL! Your story is an inspiration to me!

Dog Gone Great,  You are a star and I love the Smiling ....keep charging and keep us informed, man I love this stuff...
