My best friend had to do a double take!! lol. :D

[keriann_forgoodthistime]

So my best friend and I haven't hung out in a few weeks. Maybe even honestly not since BEFORE new years (i've only been on atkins since jan 3)...well - we went out last night to our "normal spot" which is a dinky bar that does karaoke on the weekends...

she told me - after we'd been sitting for a while - that she honestly seriously had to do a double take when I walked in. I have NO idea how much I've lost as I've not stepped on the scale since January 31st and do not plan on it until March 1st...so I have no idea WHAT I weigh or how much I've lost - but I went to kohl's yesterday and bought a pair of (stretchy) 13's (yes, i am 29 and wear juniors, lol) but the LAST pair I bought was 17.

But back to my best friend - she honestly couldn't quit telling me all night long how much i've changed and how just seeing me last night motivated her to restart her own diet (she lost 60 on weight watchers, but stopped...)

But seriously - that's one of the BEST things is when someone you haven't seen in even 6 weeks notices such change!

Congratulations. I just went through Indianapolis and was looking for a nightclub spot or good bar and ended up walking into Club Zues? Have you ever been there? I almost got killed? Not to mention, it was a strip club. Be warned.

Keriann,
Haven't seen you around the board for a few!! I was getting worried about you!

Isn't that nice?? You've got to know she's your best friend too because she acknowledged your success and hard work getting there. I have some not so nice "friends" at work who make it a point to criticize a WOE they have no knowledge of. I watch their chins tremble as they shove $1.00 heart attacks into their mouths out of the vending machines.

I spent time with my best friend yesterday and she leaned over in my ear and said, "You look awesome!!" That was really terrific. She has a huge mirror in her living room and I found myself staring in total agreement with her. I had some hot goin' on yesterday! Glad we both got some positive reinforcement from our best friends. Helps keep us on track! I CANNOT wait for you to weigh in!! I'm already envisioning your celebratory post in ALL CAPPS!!!!
