That's what's so inspiring about you.

By Smissy]]> Congrats PQ - you continue to inspire me! You also just reminded me of my worth - All I've been able to think about this morning is "What else can I eat?" However, I've made too much progress to ruin it this morning.
Also PQ - I read your post all the time and I was wondering - How have your family, friends and co-workers reacted to your weight loss? Do you notice more attention from people? I've found that it seems to work a couple ways - I get more attention because of the weight loss but I also think it's partly the vibe I give off - I FEEL so much better and I think people respond to that. I'd be really interested to hear what you've experienced.

By Monica]]> 4 more pounds and you're going to be half of what you used to be. Yeah, I like playing with your sidebar numbers.
Oh, and you're 0.1 points from reaching dietgirl's BMI (using her dec 31st post). After that, I propose mud wrestling to determine the winner.

By christie]]> Hey PQ I loooove leaving you comments and I'm glad that every little bit helps. I feel the same way getting comments and I think we all need it to keep us going. I don't know HOW people lose weight without blogs LOL I am addicted to reading them, writing in mine, and enjoying the community with everyone.
Can't wait to see the new photos!

By PastaQueen]]> Monica - Hey now, we're *all* winners when we lose, aren't we? And I love Diet Girl, but if we're going to wrestle in something I insist it be sugar-free, fat-free chocolate pudding.

By Aunt Annette]]> Smissy - I'm Jennette's aunt. You wanted to know how Jennette's family has reacted to her weight loss. I only get to see her a few times a year, if I am lucky. For all of these years, she has always been shy but usually content and pleasant. I first noticed a change when she came to my wedding all dressed up in a stunning formal gown. It was more than the dress, though. Of course, I noticed that she had lost weight. But ... she absolutely radiates beauty. Her smile is dazzling. And you can tell that Jennette loves herself, and you can't help but love her too. That was the biggest change I could see then. I was pretty busy that day, so I didn't get much chance to visit with her.

At Thanksgiving we were together again and the glow was even stronger. But that's when I noticed that Jennette was more open and eager to talk and share herself with her cousins and the rest of the family. And it struck me that I had probably never heard her laughing at all, and certainly not so mirthfully. Her Mom had told me about this blog, but I had never checked it out until recently. I am so happy to finally get to know Jennette this way! I never expected to find that she and I had been through so many similar challenges. (For instance, my frustration in finding a size 44A bra. Who would'a thunk we had the same size tits?!) Her Mom and I have always shared stories about our kids, and I knew second-hand that Jennette is an amazing woman. But I am finding out myself first-hand and I am so proud to have her as my niece.

Six years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes and I had to lose 60 pounds darn quick. I've got the weight pretty much under control, as well as the effects of diabetes. But I now find myself coming here to get some inspiration from the pastaqueen when I need to goose myself and get back with the program. Thanks for the inspiration, Jennetti-Spaghetti! You are doing such a great job!

Love, Aunt Annette

By Cherie]]> Aww, that comment from your aunt should be a guest post to allow for all the attention it deserves!

You are wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Full of wonder. Inspiring wonder. You just keep doing it and sharing your wisdom and sense of humor. Count me in with those who think you should publish a book.

Yup.

Ooohh, all right!
I think chocolate pudding would do a very good job at covering all bits, wobbly or not.
