    You look so lovely in that rosy dress! Don't let go of your renewed outlook. (And yes, Coke is poison, like mainlining sugar -- goes straight to liver and other organ fat.)

    Welcome to

    ♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥ ♪♪♪ ø¤º°`°º¤ø ONEDERLAND! `°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°` ♪♪♪ ♥Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ♥

    ...where birds are singing and bees are buzzing and rainbows streak the sky....
    ...where (sugar-free) lollipops and lemon drops dot the trees....
    ...where parades of people pass waving streamers shouting "You're the best!"...
    ...where magic mirrors reflect beautiful smiling images of yourself...
    ...where it's truly hard to convey to those who don't understand
    the glorious impossible once-unimaginable expansively grand
    feeling of dancing leaping trumpeting and doing a hand-stand
    because you finally at long last with hard work long-planned
    have entered the gold and diamond-sparkled gates of ONEDERLAND!

    Keep that ONEderful feeling! (I've kept it for 2+ years... 270 -> 180) !!

    Congartulations on your success. That's an awsome accomplishment in such little time!
    I'm just baffled as to what is the " North Slope "? I'm a south Floridian and never heard of the place.
    Thanks in advance.

    You look great! Isn't it amazing how changing one thing can snowball for the better? I also knew I needed to lose weight, so my first step was to stop drinking pop (lol I'm from MN). At first it was hard because my husband drinks it still, but he started keeping it in the garage and grabbing one awhile before he knew he wanted it so it wasn't sitting there in the fridge tempting me, and I never carry any money with me when I am alone because it keeps me from going to the drive through! Great inpiration thank you!

    Quitting the soda was the hardest thing out of the whole situation . I actually told everyone months before and noone believed me at first .My husband didn't think it was possible but he was very supportive .

    The last day June 2nd , I actually had my last coke in my hand and I was telling it that we had to break up because he was no good for me lol. My husband thought I was crazy ... I guess we just have to figure out what our triggers are . I had no idea it was coke.

    Thanks in advance.

    The North Slope is where they have the Alaska pipeline and oil production . It's kind of like driving through Freeport Texas with all the oil refineries everywhere and nothing else. Everything is either for the pipeline or a supporting company . so no resturants , movies or anything . We stay in " camps " which are kind of like hotels but they are mostly made out of what I call storage containers lol there's a name for them but I don't remember ... Of course it's very cold it can get to 60 below but not always .. in the winter it's usually 10 or 20 below 0 . summer time for a couple of months its usually 45-60 degrees ... its ok though .

    the name of the " town" is either Deadhorse or Prudhoe Bay for some reason it has two names lol but it's the same place. I fly to work every three weeks from Anchorage . You can drive but it word take 2 days ... I am a Licensed Practical Nurse and I work for a company that does Drug testing as well as hearing tests and lung and respirator testing for the oil companies employees .
