good morning!
I'm about to go to bed now, but I have had a busy and exciting week.

Best news of all...I have a contract to write an Ebook on How to Quilt if You've Never Held a Needle and Thread

It will be published with my name and bio info, deadline is in 5 weeks. I am so very excited.

Wow,aren't you cute.Yes,I too can see a difference in your before and after pictures.Love your hair.And your mom I guess that is,looks great too.Just think,how much you've already changed in this short amount of time.I know from my loss that as you lose more,you will change inside too.As we just get more confident as we get smaller.You look pretty young.I look like what I am.A middle aged old bag.I'm no raving beauty,and not near as cute as you.My camera is broke and quite.If and when I ever get one,I'll post a picture of me.The only one I do have is of my drivers licence.And we all know how bad they are.And I was really big when it was taken.Well,anyway,you and Kathy do make a nice couple.Is she trying to lose too?I hope so because it will add many yrs.It's amazing how in just since the 3rd of July you have shrunk.My gosh.Well,that's great.you just hang in there and don't let outside negative influinces deture you or get you off track.Stay focused and look at the end snapshot of how you are going to look.I do that and it does help me to stay focused better.I know that there will be an end,and how I want to be.So you just hang in there and do it for you and your future.You are losing,you are losing,you are!!!

Thank you so much!!!! Oh and the woman with me in the yellow vest is my girlfriend Cathie. She is the same age as my mom, so I would understand if you thought it was her. :D:D:D

You are soo soo sweet!!

Missy

Ok,if I'd a put my glasses on and re-read your intro,I would of seen that.Now that I re-read it,it does say that.Ok,well who is the one in the blue?Love those outfits by the way.Nice!

That girl is my ex-girlfriend. Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much Jeri! We are very happy and I could not be prouder of her. I am proud of myself. I am down 110 pounds with probably about 225 still to lose but with your support and the support of my family (and Cathie of course!) I will get there!!

i just finished a sirloin steak dinner with sweet as candy fresh tomatoes~ oh, mama! it was yum! i've finally learned to make a killer steak!

It used to be that it would just hang there but now it is so much smaller that it rolls on itself. SO weird but good at the same time!

Wow. I never thought of that before! I am going to think about that!!

mj--you're looking very spiffy in your new avatar ! congrats on your e-book deal!

i had a great b'fast of a smart ones quesadilla, and an apple, and of course, bright sparkling water! i will make myself an iced skinny soy latte in just a little bit. that will be my morning treat, since i'm actually up in the morning. how weird is this? i feel like a vampire in a new time zone. i will post pictures later of my 3 little boy baby quilts. the last one will be taken from a mile away, since i honestly did a horrendous job on it. fortunately, it's for a baby and he won't mind at all! lol. lots of my seams didn't line up. it is a d9p, my first one, and i learned a lot doing it. it's not difficult but it does require accurate cuts--OOPS! i backed it with the most scrumptious blue flannel so i'm confident it will be loved!
everybody, have a good day ! it's another scorcher at 99.my poor plants will be barbecued! nonetheless, i am losing and i an in control! ta ta for now!
