One ego boost for the day

Every year our department does a little recognition and reward celebration. This year one of our IT people did a powerpoint presentation featuring the staff doing what they do best. Imagine how surprised I was when a photo of me at 168 lbs flashed on the screen--then a 140 lb shot--then a 120's--then current. Some of the newer staff were flabergasted. They had no idea. I had no idea that staying fit was my special talent, either. Amy 168/113 |

Right now, I feel like losing weight and getting fit IS my special talent. Now to fine tune the talent of *keeping* it that way . . . -- Walking on . . .

Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude! Start: 2/02 Maintained since 2/03 At my class last week I was trying to save a photo someone took of me with the instructor (who looked like Bill Gates) and the guy sitting next to me saw my wedding picture (I have the thumbnail view on). He asked who those people were and I when I told him he couldn't believe it, so I showed him a few other pics. During the break he told a few of the other guys who asked to see the picture and they were all stunned. Yesterday in class I was showing a video we made last year to give the kids some ideas for this year's video. In the video were shots of me and another teacher who has been very successful on HMR (there are 6 staff members currently in the program) and the kids were shocked at the difference. They asked me to rewind the tape to see it again. Comments were made like "I don't remember you being *that* fat Mrs. A!" I enjoy reintroducing myself to old friends who haven't seen me in a long time. Jenn |
