Johanne's Journal, 27 January 2011

Congrats on the new low Johanne! Keep up the great work... 

Thanks Info! It's nice to keep going down. I know I have to hit a stall eventually, but so far, so good. 

Hi Johanne, I just saw you have lost over 50 pounds..My oh my what a great and an amazing loss that is. So proud of you..and love ya and HUGS...Brne 

Thanks Bren. It's so funny. I watch the ads for the weight-loss surgical centers. Their before and after clients dance around saying, "I lost 48 lbs." and "I lost 52 lbs." and I say, "So what? I'm losing that much and I can still have my occasional, indulgent holiday meal or meal out at a restaurant." I'm so happy about that. You and I and most of our friends on FS are proving that it CAN be done without cutting and without starvation diets. It's Lovely! XOXOXOXO Bren!!! 

You betcha, we are..Those girls on those commercials have had a lot of computer inhancement done too. I'll bet..Just like they do on the magazines. Those people don't look like that all the time..It takes hours of prep time to look like that..Hey I am me what you see it what you get. And if they don't like what they see, well then they can turn their head.  

Jo, congratulations....I am so impressed with your progress. You are such an inspiration to me. Have a great weekend and get ready for the next storm...they are talking about ice this go round and have already issure the winter weather advisories for us...Sunday night, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Ice to snow, and lots of it. So stock up and take extra care. Hugs! xoxoxo, Stef!  

@ Bren . . . ain't THAT the truth! LOL. @ Steph, yes, I just got home from the store and read the advisory. I'm stocked and ready to hunker down. Wow! What a winter this has been! Love you both!!! 

It has been quite the winter, hasn't it? I am well stocked, with the exception of bird food and salad stuff and I am picking that up tomorrow on the way home from church! Stay warm and hug those feline babies of yours for me will ya? Has Emma gotten over being mad at you for getting rid of her perch! 

Not really. She still goes over to that corner and prowls and then comes and pesters me about it. She knows which box I put it in and I think SHE thinks she can convince me to put it back up. LOL. Stay warm and safe. I keep hoping the weather men will get it wrong, but they've been right on the money THIS winter!
