Karen - WOOOO HOOOOOO!!! You go girl!!! You should post some before and after pics!!!! CONGRATS!!!! I keep starting and then getting off track. (it was my b'day so we had cake) Tomorrow I start again, I just got an app on my phone to keep track of calories/weight loss so I am READY TO GO!!!! You're inspiring me!!!
The pic on the left was taken on April 5th (where's that puking smiley?). The night we had front row in Champaign. The pic on the right was taken at Ddub's party Nov 11th. The pic on the left is the night I knew I was making some changes! I had had enough! So I'm not where I want to be yet but still working to get there! Thanks for all the support ladies! It really helps.
Ddub's party was so much fun! I hadn't done anything like that in SO LONG! I will admit I was a bit disappointed with the "preparty" upgrade thing. It was nothing more then a M&G. Not that that isn't great but I was under the impression it was limited to 50 ppl. It was
way more then that. I thought it would be more like a party atmosphere. We just stood in a shoulder to shoulder crowd for over an hour waiting for our 60 seconds with the man himself. Of course the hug and kiss on the cheek was exciting. But I couldn't help think "I hope I don't get swine flu from all those he is kissing!"
Got to meet Flossy and get a picture taken.
It was neat to see all of Ddub's entourage mingling around. Here's the shirt I bought and had him sign. It's way tight and won't see the light of day outside of my house but I love it anyway!
It says "Love Dub" and a smiley face. Here I was hoping it'd look like he had signed on my **** and he almost signed my armpit! Only me!
(I didn't have the shirt on when he signed it but I still hoping it'd look like it!)
Had a good spot to see all the action next door at the place the party was taking place at. We weren't close to the main stage but was up on a step so we could see perfectly. Had plenty of drinks and dancing! Then he came out to a small stage thing for his 2nd set right where we were at!! One security guard separated us from him! We could see his sweat!
He grabbed my hand.
A couple of marshmallow shots:
Danced some more. He came out and migled for a bit on the lower floor. Then after about an hour of not seeing him we left. It was 2 in the mornin, of course! We had to sing the song. Decided we were satisfied with the night and headed back to the hotel.
Here's us when we met my dh to pick me up.
Melody and I said our goodbyes and put another New Kids Roadtrip in the history books! Til next time!
Good luck getting those HOB tix girls!
I don't know how much actual weight I've lost. I refuse to be a slave to the scale. I go by my clothes and how I feel. It is quite a bit but I don't have a number. I've worked really hard since April and still am. So yay!
I also hope you and Melody have fun at Donnie's party. I considered checking out that whole party bus thing, but then I came back to reality and thought I'd probably commit a murder being on a bus from Boston to Montreal for hours with what will probably be too many crazy women in too small a space. Plus I just don't have the time or inclination. Much too much going on. Perhaps I'll see if he has a Boston party. Happy belated birthday Shelby! Im getting a little down, ladies. My stupid shoulder isn't any better since I first saw the surgeon. PT hasn't done too much and it's really discouraging. I'm in pain, but what's more painful for me is having to stay out of the gym. I love to run, but I want to get back to weight lifting. 
I was hoping to get them today so I could avoid the frenzy tomorrow, guess not!
