My Life and Weight Loss Through NS: March 2007

New pics... March 30, 2007

OK, so here I am again with a few more pics. I know when I look at these I should feel good about how far I've come, but instead all I see are the 5 lbs I'd love to lose to be in the bottom of my maintenance range instead of the top of it... Mike's and my vow renewal is just 2 weeks away now and I wanted to feel PERFECT on that day. I will just stay 100% with my eating between now and then and that is the best I can do. The stress of all the wedding planning has really gotten the best of my nerves this past week and I am an emotional basketcase. I just hope I can get it together and not let all the fun of this experience slip away from me. Breathe Amy, breathe... (thanks to all my NS buddies for talking me down off the ledge this morning too)! I don't know where I'd be without all of you guys. I am blessed in so many ways in my life. Thank you to all of you for being a part of it.

Before at 180 (Jan 2005) and Now (March 2007) at 128 lbs

Pics and Video from CO NS get-together (March 10, 2007)

Hey guys!

We had a wonderful NS lunch get-together today in Denver, CO. We had a nice large group of NSers that were able to make it and it was a really wonderful time (and hilarious too, LOL). I hope we can do it all again very soon! I'll do my best to remember everyone's real names and NS user names also for the pics here. Let me know if I get any wrong... sorry, I'm REALLY bad with names. LOL. My other excuse is that I didn't get to sit by all of you, so I don't remember spouse's names. haha. Yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;)

P.S. I'll do my best to give names for this group shot, but geez people, could we all stand in a straight line already? hahaha. :)

They were laughing at me standing on the booth to take the pics and video... hey, it was the only way to get that whole huge group! LOL.

Ummm, this one was supposed to be a still pic, but I left my digital camera on video mode, haha, oops:

Man, I'm LOUD!!! LOL

Well we sure had fun, and the girls managed to keep themselves entertained as well! :) That's all folks.
