High School Alumni gathering

My 25 yr reunion is not until May 2012 but this Friday night they are doing an all alumni get together. When I went to my last reunion almost 5 yrs ago, I was so uncomfortable with being almost 450 pounds at that time, I did not even have fun. I was always big in shool but was always secure in who I was. I told my best friend that when our 25 yr reunion was here that I would be a healthier and happier person by then. Well, got the invite for this and was unsure if I wanted to go but my friend said "you did what you said and even 8 months early, so we need to go to this". I am excited to see people and be able to enjoy not only Fri night but will be ready for the reunion in May for sure. I am over 300 pounds less in weight, 10 sizes smaller and a much healthier version of the old me. I have my outfit all ready to go and am going to embrace the night with a big smile on my face. Loving my band and my life :) Thanks for letting me share!

Wow!  That's awesome!
I remember going to my 20th reunion weighing 300+ lbs.  I was mortified because one of my good friends in HS that I hadn't seen in years didn't recognize me.  It ruined the evening and probably drove me to gain another 20 lbs! 
Last year I wen't to my 30th weighing 100+ lbs less!  It was great!  I felt wonderful and had a lot of fun.  The funny thing was that people kept asking me why I wasn't at the 20th.  Well....I was, they just didn't recognize me! 

Enjoy your pre-event.  You've worked hard for your WL success.  Enjoy knowing that you did this for better health and looking great is going to be icing on the cake!  (low-cal of course!)

Best~
