A work in Progress

    Me in Paris July 2003, I'm TWICE as wide as the man next to me and this wasn't even my top weight!

    This is me on my dream trip to Hawaii in December 2003.  17 hours on a plane...and I discovered I didn't fit in the seat anymore!

     I had to include this picture because of the pretty background, my friend has joined Weight Watchers, she's lost 40 lbs and is at goal!

    First trip on program, Jan 2004. I had only lost 3 pounds, so I still didn't fit in the plane seat, but I could already feel a difference in my clothes.

    I figured my weight would make me ski badly, but I did really well this trip on Feb 15, 2004. I had shed 14 lbs at this point.

    A good Irish girl ALWAYS wears green on St Paddy's Day, and I had shed 24 lbs now, so I treated myself to highlights! Mar 17 2004

    Just in case you thought I had gotten all skinny that quick...here's me in more relaxed mode. Mar 20, 2004

    Ahhhh, Sedona, land of the rugged.  I made my first 10% goal on this trip, 4/15/04, thanks to my Mom, who asked me one simple question on Day 1 of vacation... "Do you really need that?"  The answer was, of course, No. I had NO problems with the airplane seat this trip...I had room to spare!

    Smoke Hole Caverns in West-by-God, Virginia (and it IS heavenly).  We went here Memorial Day 5/29/04 to escape the CICADAS!!

    Hey!  Wait!!!  Do I see abs under that coat?  Guess all that exercise is beginning to show!! 5/30/04

     Trip to California 8/15/04.  I couldn't stop staring at this picture, I couldn't believe it was me.

     Trip to Ireland 9/15/04.  My first mountain climb, now I'm hooked, I'm climbing every chance I get.
