By christie]]> Wow, so impressed that you ended up in WSJ. There are some interesting accomplishments on that list you created - but personally I think yours of losing 180 lbs is the best one!!

By Aunt Annette]]> Can I carry your crown and scepter for you once your pawn shop scavengers find them for you, Pastaqueen? You rock, Jennette! And I know you're just getting started! What does Warhol know?! I think a big audience eagerly awaits more of your wit and insight and that people will be noticing you for even more than the proverbial 15 minutes! Rock on!

By mal]]> CONGRATULATIONS! No one is more deserving, of course. You have just chosen this course and stuck to it, and it's very inspiring to see that. People talk about the rewards of weight loss all the time -- skinny jeans, cardiac improvement, romantic notice by strangers -- but no one ever mentions the press. :)

By BG]]> After two years of losing weight and blogging, I've lost 180 pounds

Umm. That sounds pretty darn good to me. :)
'Grats on the article. That's pretty cool too.

By Ezpy]]> Wow!

I wish I could think of something more clever to say, but that's really really impressive. Congratulations.

Though honestly, the 180 is more impressive to me than the WSJ. Not that that isn't impressive you understand!

By Chris H]]> WOW,I just found your site, you look amazing! I know how it feels to drop some weight, I started at 127.7 kgs (280.9 pounds) and got down to 67 kgs (147.4 pounds).... but have put a bit back on and am trying to lose it again. You are inspirational, and look bloody fantastic!

By Kalyn]]> Well even if there are a lot of other things you could have been doing, getting mentioned in the WSJ is big for a blog I'd say. Way to go!

By Bree]]> Wow! Congratulations. I wonder how much traffic you will pick up on account of this recognition? You already have a great following it seems. I love to check in. Thanks so much.

PastaQueen, does this add any pressure for you to continue being successful or does it make any difference? Just curious.

Thanks. You are a great motivator to me and many others.

By lme]]> So has your blog traffic gone up considerably with the mention in the WSJ?

PastaQueen commented on 'Two Years'

Wed, 31 Jan 2007 22:36:48 -0500

By PastaQueen]]> Various peeps - The traffic has gone up a bit, maybe 300-400 extra unique impressions on the day of the article. Traffic has been up 40-50% just with the start of the new year and all the new dieters poking around the Internets.

Bree - I wouldn't say there is any extra pressure. It's nice to be recognized though :)

By Bree]]> I wanted to ask you something, but didn't want to post it on your latest post about the big news. Congrats again, btw. You are very deserving. I'd like to sign on for the future weight loss tv show. hehe

Seriously, I've been meaning to ask you something. Do you have a running shoe preference? I'm stuck. I don't find anything these days that gives me the support I need since I'm so heavy right now. Thanks so much (if you get the time to reply). I know things are chaging for you right now so time may be little.

Anyway, thanks if you are able to reply. If not that's okay. Take care.

-Bree

By Aunt Donna]]> Jennette, you rock!!! It has been wonderful watching your transformation the past two years--I swear your smile is 500 watts! You guys out there, you have to see her in person to really appreciate how svelte she looks! Congratulations on the book deal. You so earned it by putting yourself out there (I'm shy about doing even this!)--I look forward to reading it and enjoying your humor!
