By debby]]> Glad you had fun in S.F., PQ! Being a local, my imagination goes wild in thinking about what the unmentionable events might be!

I never thought about all the color--just took it for granted.

Isn't Ghirardelli the best! Glad you got to enjoy some!

By dietgirl]]> Oh my, is it sad that out of all these excitin' bullet points what I really want to know is... HOW WAS THE IN-N-OUT BURGER? Hehehe. Sleep well, PQ!

By Laura N]]> Oh I have always wanted to go to the In N Out Burger. My husband has a t-shirt from there... he loved the burgers, of course. Glad you had fun and are home OK. I really really want to go to next year's event. I remember when you and DG and others were at last year's in Chicago. It is just too cool to meet real life bloggers. Where is next year's going to be? Gonna have to look into that.

Good luck getting back on Eastern Standard. =)

By Zandria]]> It was a pleasure meeting and talking to you at BlogHer, Jennette. (And look! I'm actually leaving a comment this time.) :)

I was just there on Saturday to see Eddie Izzard at the Orpheum. Though it was considerably less of a haul for me than for you.

I wonder if we crossed paths...

By Gayle]]> I am still reading your book. I can't tell you how excited I am to read about this journey of yours. So much of my life is represented here. I am 61 years old. I have had this struggle all of my life! I have been through such a long journey of weight weight weight. This book is so REAL. I have read some of the archives. I can say that PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE everywhere! They do treat you different! Before and after. Watch out though because now I'm getting the old lady treatment.(HA-HA) Sounds like most of you are younger. I know I have to end this so HIP HIP HOORAY for this book and all the real feelings it holds!!!!!

By Kalyn]]> It was fun having dinner with you (especially when my shoulder finally stopped hurting!) I didn't eat at In-and-Out Burger, but I definitely ate a lot of not-the-tiniest-bit-South-Beach-Diet-friendly food!

By Lisa]]> Did you find the In-N-Out Burger a little bit disappointing? I'm thinking that maybe you need to be a regular fast food burger eater (which I'm not) to really appreciate In-N-Out.

I'd love to read more about "Overall, it was interesting to observe how a group of 1000 women (and some men) interact with each other."

By Rosemary Molloy]]> Just read your book and loved it. I'm always interested in food/weight loss/fitness/nutrition, etc. I recently lost 71 pounds, essentially the same way you did, through diet and exercise. However, you had a bit of an advantage over me: youth. I'm 71 years old--never have been healthier or felt better in my life.

By Stephanie Quilao]]> Sounds like the only thing you missed on the trip to SF then was an earthquake and SF's hottie mayor Gavin Newsome. They took down the 100ft poster of David Beckham in his Armani briefs in front of Macys. Too bad...lol... It was so awesome to get to spend more time with you Jennette. You're a rock star!

By VerseFameBeauty]]> I pretty much exclusively tweet instead of blog now. It keeps me from forgetting things I wanted to mention throughout the day.

By fd]]> Pastaqueen, am totally knocked out by the endless energy you seem to have. Just discovered the book blog and you're 'how to' guide and am exhausted at the thought of that winter you spent working, losing weight and writing a book. You rock! and it has inspired me to finally finish my MA thesis and go to the gym...before in my state of guilt for having chosen one or the other, I was doing them very halfheartedly. Thanks for sharing with us and thanks for the inspiration!

By PastaQueen]]> It was yummy. I was told to watch how they make fries by sticking an entire potato into a machine that spits out fries, so of course I instead had a conversation about geology with Mr. E instead and totally missed this culinary wizardry.

By Stephanie Klein]]> You were excellent on the blog to book panel at BlogHer, very well-spoken and relevant. You're warm, personable, and such a pleasure to be around. It was so lovely meeting you in person. You really are such an inspiration. If you ever find yourself in Austin, please let me know. I'd love to get together again.

By Miriam]]> I totally got a hankering for In-n-out burger and fries! Oh how I wish there was one in the huge state of Texas! I love your blog and it has made me want to try to get my excess off. Thanks,

By Cari]]> OMG. I went to In-N-Out for the first time when I was in California earlier this year. AMAZING. Husband and I plan to go to San Fran next year, and I'm counting the days. Although here in Ohio we have Swenson's, which is just as good. :-)

By Cynthia]]> It's OK... when I moved to the Bay Area from FLAT, FLAT, FLAT SE Texas, I referred to the Oakland Hills as "mountains". LOL!

As for Twitter... I refuse to tweet! Nothing that makes me stay on the computer even more time can possibly be good for me. Stick to your guns!

And yes, food is very good in San Francisco!

By Anne-Marie]]> I wish I WAS an artificial intelligence - then I still wouldn't be so exhausted from BlogHer. Hope you enjoyed In N Out, too. (I miss them - the closest one being in Vegas). And thanks for being a great roommate!
