Well, had the reunion this weekend. And it was a success! My friend even overheard someone say that I should get "most changed since high school"! And all my friends kept calling me "skinny *****" all night! And one person (who I didn't think would recognize me) said "yeah, I remember you, how'd you get so skinny? JEN!" hahaha, I felt fantastic (my feet didn't by the end of the night, darn high heels) (gotta suffer to be beautiful!)
And I was so worried about the ex being there, and you know what, he was skinny, his hairline was crooked, making his head look oddly shaped (LOL) and his adam's apple was making him look like the vulture from Bugs Bunny! And my husband said his wife looked like a witch from the side! LOLhahahaha!
Here's a couple of photos from last night, one from high school and one from a year ago!

AND THIS WAS ME A YEAR AGO

Awesome, my 20 year will be here July 2009.
I am cracking down hard. I have started setting mini goals for my self now.
Trying to loose 20 lbs by 11-30-08.
Then in December, I will set a new one.
It is so hard. When I was in High School, I was barely over 100 lbs.0 -

Don't worry about it! It will come off. Slowly but surely. I started in January, thinking I would have lost waaaay less by now, but I could only average about a pound a week. You'll do great and look fabulous!
And you know what.... most of the girls looked pretty much the same. Some had maybe 15-20 pounds more than in HS, but after having children, and you're body changing, it's bound to happen. The guys on the other hand, we're either bald or fat! I have to say, that 1 guy looked pretty much the same. But mostly the girls had it over the men!
YOU CAN DO IT! After thinking about it, I really didn't set weight goals, but more trying to lose as much as I could by each goal. And then losing more for the next goal looking better each time. As long as I kept losing SOMETHING I was happy! Don't get hung up on the numbers.0 -
You are so super cute!0

HOLY COW GIRL! What a transformation! I was overweight in high school and was ignored, teased, etc. But when we had our 30 yr reunion (yes, I'm older than dirt!) I got down to a size 8 and blew them away! The girls were flabergasted and the guys said, "How come I don't remember you?" Ha! Mission accomplished! :laugh: Congratulations on reaching your goal!

But from college on, I got bigger, then lost some, then got married, gained some, had kids, gained some more, lost some, gained some (vicious cycle) and then found about this reunion and knew I had to do something about it. And did, and it felt great to hear all the comments as soon as I walked in the door!
Goal #4 is to get down some more, then tone and be comfortable to maintain when I think I will be most comfortable.0 -
You look amazing! And I love the outfit! Congrats on reaching your goal.
:flowerforyou:
Btw... you do have a good looking group of girlfriends there!0 -
you do have a good looking group of girlfriends there!
