Melissa
You and yours are still in my prayers. Hope hubby gets better very very soon.

LOL oh and trust me diva I've been documenting the whole thing every night I come home and journal everything I can remember from that day.

The prayers and well wishes are working, tonight was a very good night. He actually opened his eyes and tried to interact. Now granted alot of it made no sense but it was nice to see those beautiful brown eyes. Thanks so much everyone it really means the world to our entire family to have so many people care and wishing us well. It helps, it really really does!

MSteacher...can I just say how beautiful you are?! My goodness what a beautiful woman you have, I bet your smile lights the whole room. Your avatar is such a great picture!! Thanks so much for sharing those with us!

I forgot to congratulate MSTeacher as well, I am so sorry! Wow, you did such a fantastic job!! Congrats to you and good luck on your continued success!!

Mel - thinking about your family.

MSTeach - Congrats!!! I called it a few weeks back that you or Melissa would win! I knew you guys had it in you!

Well, my photoshop isn't working at the moment until my tech geek (husband) fixes it. We upgraded our systems some of the old applications no longer work with the new mac system. Grrr...

I should have after photos in a few days.

So much for exercising this late at night. I am full of energy lol. At least I got my 10 miles of walking/aerobic videos in today. I feel so good about myself when I meet not the little goals I have for myself but the big goals.

Thanks for all of the "congrats." (and the compliments on the pictures!) It is really sweet of you guys. I've got my fingers crossed that this saturday will be my ONEderland weigh-in! But we'll see.

Shy - good for you! Wow you are getting close to goal! Congrats on that!

Andi - Your updated pics are awesome. You're looking good! The butt-kicking from Marty and Amy has been paying off - in addition to all of the hard work you've been putting in!

Hi all,

Just a quick post since I am at work.(My computer at home is still not working.) Still OP. My weight even dropped some since Monday but I am going to Florida today for Spring Break so I don't know how I will do there plus no time to exercise this week. Darn it.

Karen-Congrats on being the weekly biggest loser. Awesome. Your pictures look great. I really noticed the difference in your waist.

MS-I am sorry to hear your husband is still in the hospital. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

MSTeacher-Congratulations!! The Biggest Loser, that is really cool. You had some serious competition too. Good for you.

ms
You are doing terrific. I love to see your pic. You have such a bright shinny face. Makes me smile.

Tera
You have great fun for all of us stuck at home :)

thanks Karen!! When I first realized the change last night I was in shock!

Andi you look fabulous!

Andi - those progress pictures are amazing!

I am so proud of our whole team! MSteacher and Muse and Melissa lost so much weight that it equals a person! But so many others have done amazingly well too! Even our featherweights (Laura and Tina) have been such an inspiration during the last 3 months.

I can't imagine traveling on this journey alone. I certainly understand why so many people try to lose weight and fail. Without all of you, it would be a really, really big challenge - one that I'm not sure I could take on at this point in my life. Once you hit 50, there is that stereotype that it is "OK" to be round an squishy and slow and achy. All of you have helped me realize that I'm not anywhere near ready to be that person yet.

I'm looking forward to our next challenge together. It should be a wonderful time :D
