Thank you!!

And yes..i like the booty..the lifted and scuplted part..has to just be because those jeans are so dang snug on me!   The 15 juniors are very loose..but the 13's are very snug..  I'm not doing any particular exercises to help w/my butt..in fact..all i really do is walking for exercise...and more sex..hahaha

About the flying, i'm just planning on a carry-on bag..i hate to spend money on checked luggage..i seen the prices..ouch!

 One other thing I learned even before losing a bunch of weight, some airports ask you to remove your belt and then in the scanner to hold your arms over your head... a recipe for disaster!

The difference is amazing. I had to look multiple times to make sure it was you. The side by side shots look like a mother daughter comparison. You have an adorable smile. I can see the difference in the before and after the difference in your smile. In the before you are smiling but in the after you are glowing.

When my wife and I came back from San Diego after her surgey in Mexico 2 weeks ago, I went through the metal detecter and the men running TSA body scans that day decided that my wife needed to go through the full body scanner with her arms over her head. It was no big deal since we have nothing to hide, but I found it funny that the men did not direct any male passengers to the body scan.

Dawnie,

I love your posts and pics. My niece is going to take a couple pics of me and I may send them to you for posting...I am not a computer knowledgable person....I still have problems SEEING myself at my weight now....I surprise myself in mirrors, wonder who that woman is....and feel a bit dopey, a bit silly, or not KNOWING who I am....

You are such an inspiration !!!

Have fun on your trip ! And remember, even short air trips are de-hydrating. Drink like crazy. Uh, water that is !

Beautiful as always Dawnie.  Thanks for posting, you continue to be an inspiration to me as I looked at your post even before my surgery and yours was one that always kept me on track and focused on my goal.  You look amazing and should be so proud of yourself.  You rockin' it girl! Congrats again!
     
   
    
If you fear nothing, then you love nothing. If you love nothing, what joy can there be in life?
