Dear Jo ~

I am just making my way through the Forum after being gone for some time and what a wonderful surprise I had when I took a :shades: peeky poo into the Studio!

What a delight to :whattha: see you with a century of pounds gone forever!

You are a beautiful woman and I’ve :hug: loved ya ever since you arrived here at MakeMeThinner – your sweetness, vitality and encouragement to others fills my tank daily. You are sumpin’ else, Serendipity! :heart:

As Lauren and Vicky so wonderfully commented, you do the work without complaining!

Doesn’t it feel :boing: grand to be rewarded for doing the hard stuff by enjoying improved health, less hip and belly bulkage and to see that beautiful face and slender neck starin’ back atcha from the mirror?

:scratchhead: Did you ever think you would enjoy looking at your reflection again?

You look so young – I mean YOUNG!

Your DH must keep his hand on your waspy waist and hiney at all times now! (Guys, we can never get enough pinches and touches! And Gals, our men love those caresses and pats, too!!)

Jo, I love the screen name you selected for yourself.
When I think of the word ‘serendipity,’ the words surprise, luck or chance some to my mind and yet I also think of the idea of blessing or providence. Your fortitude to push on through to the other side is commendable. There are things and times in our life that it pays to be a bulldog. You bared your teeth and did not let go and I love ya for it. I know how it feels to let nothing deter ya from reaching a worthy goal.

You are lovely – you look fabulous. What do ya mean,
Thanks for being so kind and not noticing my little bumps, lol. I notice each one
‘not noticing the bumps…”

Sheesh! We are so, so, so alike and so typical of other great losers!
:x Dang! It bugs the puckies outta me when we focus on the lumps and bumps when we have successfully sloughed off mountains and we somehow set them outta our mind and stare at the teensy bumps…they will melt away as time goes by. They may not be perfect but no one will ever see them but you. Solution: take off your glasses, view them with one eye closed and concentrate on the great stuff!

Jo, you ARE great stuff!
:bow: Doin’ the :bananadance: Happy Dance here at the MakeMeThinner Cottage in my leopardy jammies!

100 Pounds, a century of flabber, gone FOREVER!!!

You rock, Girl! :thumbsup:

I am so :sheepjump: proud of you – good job! This is a really BIG deal, Folks!

Really BIG!
:woohoo:

Oh my goodness, Jo! What a difference! You soooo deserved that trip! I am glad you had fun. I'll bet that hubby of yours feels like he is married to a whole new woman, eh? You are such an inspiration for folks like me who have been strattling the fence for a while. I mean, in my pics you can see"some" difference, but I want to be able to post and have people say"WOW, what a difference!" I will get there.....eventually.

Jo,

I'm a bit behind on this but I wanted to tell you look like a new woman! Minus a decade or so in age too! Cowabunga!

You look so happy and healthy in your vacation photos too! I love your "tourist" outfit hehehe!

I've always enjoyed your posts and it's great to see you doing so well! :D You are so close to goal now too!

BRAVO!

Katlynn, Yes, there is hope. I didn't have much when I started last October, but soon came to realize that this program does work if you stick to it.

Sarah, Nice to see you posting again. I was wondering what happened to you. :D

Doesn't she look great? It's hard to believe she's a Grandma! I love the quote at the bottom of your posts - you DID make yourself little, Jo.

You are someTHIN' else and we admire you. You are more beuatiful than ever!
