    Nothing wrong with Dragon Con being your motivation. You found what worked for you. Great job!

    Great job! I have been at this about 7 months now and have lost a little over 45 pounds. I set my one year goal for 85 pounds not sure if it do-able but we will see. You look great nice to see someone who lost 80 :)

    Thank you! And better than the people I see every day are the people I typically just see once every year. I'm very excited for next week when I'll likely receive I lot of compliments :D

    Lol, the shirt is from Ript Apparel (https://www.riptapparel.com/). Shirts are only available for 24 hours and then they're gone. Although they DID offer the shirt again a couple of weeks later. Keep an eye out on TeeFury, they might eventually have it. There are other tshirt sites but those are the two I frequent the most. I hope you find it!

    Wow, way to go! You look great!

    OMG that guy looks so much like LN! I am so jealous you go to DC. I have wanted to go and actually planned on going once before Buffy ended and later when we were going to do a podcast. Never made it though. First time my mom got sick and she was going with me and the second time I couldn't get a sitter and my husband was too busy with work. I live in Canada so it is a long way to go.

    BTW, love the BSG uniforms!

    So Say We All! I've been chubby Starbuck at more cons than I'd care to admit to, and I've recently set Comic-Con 2014 as my fitness goal to change that. You did awesome, and are totally inspiring! Can I friend you?
