NO!!! WAY!!!!

Maybe, your scale is wrong too. Maybe, you REALLY don't know what your weight is? There is no way that you weigh 211!!!!

Nope!!!! NO...WAY!!!!!

You look too good!!!!

Its a digital scale, about a year or so old, cant be that far off. I weighed 180 in high school and I'm definately bigger than I was back then.

Thanks for making me feel good

Nite Tooter

It was too tight through my hips and thighs and too lose below my knees, but still. I didnt get them because the cut was all wrong, but I did take some pics.

Wow, I havent had a size 16 in years and years.



Woo-hooo!!!!!
what a cutie!!

Hey....Pear!!!!

Incase there are some lurkers...you should post the three pictures side by side on one page. Then, they can see the difference that I was talking about. I don't even know how to post pictures, but I'm sure that you can figure it out. You'll have to shrink the one that you just posted to fit the other two on...in progressive order...side-by-side!!!!

It would probably even amaze yourself...how much healthier you look too!!!

THANKS!!!!! I think that you'll even be suprised!!!!!!!


One more question...Have you been Measuring? Maybe....even though the concept baffles me....you've lost alot of inches....without the scale moving in leaps and bounds? I read in "The Book" that this is quite common with this way of eating!!!!!

I have been measuring, but the tape hasnt shown much loss, an inch here and there. It may be that I'm measuring different every time. The clothes are showing the differences.

Oh My Goodness, Pear, what a beauty you are! My mother and grandmother were both 5'8". What happened to me, I must have been the runt at 5'2".

You look so tall and regal, you carry it well. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us, what great incentive.

BTW, your little Pear sure does get around and loves to travel. Is Pear going to go skinny dipping in that beautiful blue water???

You're looking really good, Pear .

Jean, I'm 5' 2" as well. At school I was the only one who was shorter than their mother. My "little" brother's 6' 3" - the height just didn't get shared out evenly.

Good morning, L&F .

It's sunny here today .

And I'm sure you'll all be pleased to hear that I still have four pieces of chocolate brownie left from the one I made last week . I actually forgot it was there, which is a first for me!

Good morning, Ailuros!!!!

I am happy that you get to see the sunshine. I always tend to feel better when it's sunny...after a long, cloudy spell. After not seeing the sun for many days, when she finally shines through the clouds, it really energizes me.

4 brownies left from last week?!!!!


I'm Really proud of you!!!!!

Seeeeee....we all can overcome our weaknesses!!!

Pear....do you realize....the difference between the first and last picture....besides the noticeable loss....you, also, look about 10 years younger?


Can you put the pictures side-by-side in still motion? These are something to be studied, and observed!!!!

Good Morning, All!!!!!

Are you ready to "Choose" to have a GREAT day today and to fill it would "Better Choices"? I sure am.

I didn't get much done yesterday, so I am going to make sure I do today. I want to get a bunch of "Work" out of the way, so I can relax and Play later, without any "Pressure".

No procrastination today! All procrastination Does, is delay the enjoyment of our Goals.

Have a FANTASTIC day and I'll check in with you all Later.
