So here is me dressed up a year ago and then two times this weekend. Yuck...tough to look at those 80 pound ago pictures:

You look a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! I love the smile in the new photos too. I can tell how happy you are in your brand new body.

I agree, you look great! What a transformation.

Where is he? I haven't been to the other thread for weeks so I don't know who that is, but I'll get him girls! Whoo hoo, thanks for putting me on the scent!

Ok, I feel better now, what a PIA. John P. is! How irritating, and you are correct, he is sabatoging the newbies. I think on purpose.

amazing is right you look great.

When I first started I got into a "discussion" with him and Couts71 just told me to ignore him, and then John P said something so he was kicked off the link. He does seem to have quite an opinion... and I guess it is his opinion, but no one really listens to him do they?

Amazing transformation - thanks for sharing! And, yes, your smile in the new photos says it all!!!

I agree - ignoring him is the way to go. No point giving him the attention he's after!

Oh all right, I'll let it go. It's just that I live alone in the summertime and I'm bored!
I just hate to see him damage the newbies when they really need the help!

It's very nice to see ya Mama!

Personally John P does have a right to is opinion but I don't think on any of
the specific diet threads. This IP blog is crawling with newbies and people
that are really considering taking this road, I hate to see him ruin newbies
with his 2 cents. They have a hard enough time as it is, without him putting
down everything that they are trying to do. Not to mention the expense. JMO!

*group hug*

So how are you doing? Have you quit losing the weight you didn't want to lose?
I have 8 lbs before I'm at 90%. This journey has been great thanks for 3FC, I depend on you all for the support and to keep me accountable. I really am proud of those of us who have done it right, even with a cheat thrown in here and there.

Tomorrow I am going to tape off my bedroom and paint, lay in the pool and work on my tan~~ in my bikini thank you very much, finish the concrete birdbath I started today (if it's dry), mat 2 pictures for the show on Wed., and clean my house so it's ready for the work week.
How about you?

You. Look. Fan. Tastic. :-)
Seriously.

I saw that thread too. It was hard not to chime in, but that's what he's after. I just hate to see him sabotaging the newbies who need help.

He irritates me SOOOOO much that I end of saying things all wrong because what I really want to do is wipe that silly smirk off his face, LOL I should know better, at my age, not to let people push the wrong buttons, take my own advice and ignore him! LOL
