As always i applaud you and your hard work you look great!!!
Hummm Maybe it's better to let them go and run around Disney? you guys just do as you do!!! this way you have your Disney time and they will have theirs. at the end of the day you can swap stories and enjoy each others company!!!
3 months!!! until your THERE!
and
26 days until we meet again!!!
Thanks Mo!
I know it's better to let them run around Disney... but I know it won't happen. We are all for it - but BFF prefers to have us by her side.
We will see... I've told her many times, that we will probably end up breaking up... and at this point - I am totally comfortable with the girls branching off on their own for a little while... They've been to Disney enough - they know their way around and what they like to do.
You look amazing. Your hard work is totally paying off.
Thank you so much! I wish I could say that all of my work has been hard, but it's really been quite easy.
I am at the point where, if I don't love it, I don't do it... So, I've made it my mission to do what I love - that way I am able to do it forever.
That has been the hardest part - breaking away from what Conventional Wisdom believes and sticking with my gut in doing what I believe.
You look amazing! So proud of you. And inspired to do better than I have been doing.
Thanks so much Jennifer!
I still have so much I want to achieve, I will get there eventually - or I may not get there at all... but I plan to keep trying.
You may want to look at the OnTheFly App - it compares all flights in one place so you can check airfare quickly. I know your dates aren't flexible on this trip, but it has that option too, so you can see if it's cheaper to fly out a day earlier or later when you have that flexibility. I use it to price all our flights to Vegas and I check it quite a bit when we are in the planning phase.
Thanks for this... I have a similar app - called Kayak... I really like it and it makes it super easy to check flights.
Still swamped at work but I stayed until 6:30 again last night and worked from home for 2 hours last night. I'm almost at the point that there's not much else I can do, if stuff doesn't get done today, I'll feel like I did my best to get it done.
Hopefully you are making some progress and you are able to get back to spending less time working and more time playing.
Hope you have a great day! Looking forward to being able to stay caught up and interactive more next week!
Thank you - you too! No worries here, I know that everyone has a life.
Check in when you can - even if it's only to say "hi".
Wow! You look amazing! Are you sure that is only from one months difference? I see a lot of change.
Thank you! Actually, it's 11 months of progress... The end of May last year, to the beginning of May this year... I know, it's a bit confusing. I should have waited until the 1 year mark to post the pictures. But thank you... I think for an 11 month progress, it's not very dramatic, but I've been persistant, and I guess that's what counts? Hopefully, by this time next year, I will be much closer to my size goal.
You look absolutely amazing! Congratulations on your success!
THanks! It's been an interesting journey, for sure. And definately not a straight path... but I've learned so much and I really enjoy where this journey has taken me... I think that's really important.
D, you are doing a fabulous job with your weight loss! I wish you continued success with it.
I'm glad you got your latest custom order done.
I hope you and your BFF are able to work out your park days.
Have a great weekend.
Thank you Kathy!
I know - it's such a relief to be making progress in my sewing room too.
I sure hope so.... I think we will... I think if we have any issues at all - it will be once we get there... I know she will want to be by my side most/all of the time... and I know the girls and I will want to break away occasionally... So if there is any friction - it will be then. Sigh.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, as well.
Hi D!
You are rockin' that healthy bod of yours!!! You go girl!!!
You mentioned how you noticed the change in the arm that was holding the camera but did you catch that awesome bicep in your first comparison picture? Health AND strong!!!
Love hearing how your Disney plans are shaping up. We're a full year away from our trip so I love hearing others plans. Sounds like being honest with your BFF about your different touring styles. You are smart to take it slow in that crazy Aug heat!
Have a great weekend!
Liz (lucky #18)
Thanks Liz... No - I didn't see that bicep... Well, I did - but I just thought it was the illusion created by the break in our mirror? Maybe it isn't... I would be thrilled if I had REAL biceps!
But in analyzing that, I noticed the difference in my shoulder/arm pit of that same arm... There is a definite change there too.
So, thank you for pointing that out - I sometimes miss the obvious.
Yes, that August heat is insane... There is just no way to prep your body for that. Well, I guess we could just drive around all summer in my dark car with the air off... That might come close?
We are really looking forward to the water parks again though - they are awesome! And a great way to "enjoy" the heat (if there is such a thing...). LOL
I hope you have a great weekend too!
Your progress is AWESOME! You have clearly lost some inches and everything is getting more firm looking! Keep it up!!!
Hi Terri! It's great to have you back... I missed you! I posted in your thread this morning. Thanks so much... I wish I was getting firm... I am pretty sure I am getting more saggy. LOL But - meh - I have to remember that saggy skin is part of life, and because I abused my body for so long, I am bound to have scars. As long as I am healthy and I feel good - the rest can be covered with spanx.

So, yesterday... I was able to cut out and quilt auction bag #5 and little bag #4... I have not decided if I want to do a coordinating wallet with this one? I have only done one wallet so far, and I really would like to have a few more... We'll see.
I had to run a few errands in town, and I picked the girls up from school... Came home, made dinner, then Alli and I went back to town - she had a musical she needed to see for extra credit for one of her classes. It was a good musical... but both of us agreed, we only caught half of it, because the words they were singing were very hard to understand.
Today... It's SUNNY!!!!!!!!! So, guess what that means???? Yup - the front porch will get cleaned off at some point today.
Can't wait for that!
I also plan to be in my sewing room for a few hours this morning... I want to get that next auction bag appliqued, and with any luck - maybe I can start assembly. I would be thrilled if I could have this set done by the end of the weekend. That would mean I've hit the half-way mark. If only I had one more week off between now and June, but I don't... So it means continued double-overtime in my sewing room for the next 3-4 weeks. :crazy2
That's all I have for you all today... I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Sending out good thoughts and prayers to all of you!
D~
Yup... That's Florida in August folks. 
Which makes my legs in shorts look a bit scary. 
Oh well...
).
Afterwards, we are going with him and his Grandmother out to lunch. Then I have to drop Alli off at a school friend's house, as they have a HUGE project to work on today.
I am putting in some overtime to help pay this trip off. so far it is going well. I had 88 hours on my last pay period and that is with taking a day and a half off to go babysit for my best friend in VA, so I can't wait to see this check!!! I usually give all of my call away so it is odd to be working so much, but everytime I get called in I just think "Disney money...
