50 ways Outback Jess has inspired ADBB!

[Tracie515]

We would like to wish Outback Jess a very Happy Birthday! March 14th!

As we all know, she has encouraged and helped many of us during this wonderful life change. I think it's time we give back to her and let her know how exactly she has inspired us. I'll start!


1. It alwayes seems everytime i am feeling down and fat, Outback Jess seems to pop into my journal with a few encouraging words to just whip me right out of my funk. Thanks Jess.

Now it's your turn. Can we make it to 50 or far above?

12. Jess is SOOOOOOOOO level-headed! She never freaks out about fluctuations or blips--she keeps her cool, puts on her war paint, and keeps going!

Happy Birthday Jess!!!!

13. Lucky 13. As most of you know, I steered away for awhile, gained some weight, came back, someone suggested hitting the Second Time Around Forum. Made my first post. It was answered immediately. It read...'Scooter, you were the first person to welcome me when I came here in August! I remember you posting to me and your pics and weight loss and I was like soooo impressed. I am even more impressed today, reading that you are back kicking butt back into gear.' That's all I needed to get out of the dumps, and realize I can do this, I can live this way. Thank you with all my heart and soul Jess, you are such an inspiration to me!!
