Well, this past Saturday I went to a casual wedding reception (wedding was in Vegas) back home in Omaha and wow was it motivating for me! I wore an outfit that I haven't worn in 8 years (still in fashion!) and I felt a bit odd, but good. I wore black denim shorts (kind of short), a white tank top and sleeveless denim shirt unbuttoned. I felt like I felt years ago when wearing normal clothes was natural for me. Tons of family came up to me that hadn't seen me in awhile and were just so amazed. I got compliments from folks who hadn't said anything before about my weightloss. I felt so good, it made me so motivated to keep on truckin' and reach my goal weight (they ain't seen nothin' yet!!!!)

That's great. Especially, good for you is that you have all those clothes you can wear again. I was just in Vegas last weekend and some of the weddings I saw were certainly more casual, but then again, that is when you have the most fun.
I bet you can't wait until the family sees you again and has a pleasant surprise in store for them. Your pictures are certainly amazing to see.F/30
