Dan & I were cracking up about the "cat creepy" comment! You are a riot!

Lots of great info in this video, as usual!

Yeah, it is a fine line of how people react after they haven't seen you in a while...I hate a big fuss too.

But in your case, Miss katiejuly, you have had such a dramatic change and because you are so young, you have such a fresh, adorable way about you. If I knew you, I couldn't help but be agog too.

Aw, thanks!!

You always look great but you have to realize that it's hard for people to understand how fast your transformation has been. I can't believe what a difference your body has made in a short 26 weeks. It would probably drive me nutz too after the 50th time but soon enough your be on maintenance and not loosing any more and then you'll only hear it once in a while from people who haven't seen you in a long time. Anyways...Good luck with the race and best wishes to you as always. :-)

Yeah, I'm sure in a few months I'll be like 'why is no one noticing anymore? waaaaaah!" :) It's such a strange thing in general, though, to have your struggle with weight and size and all that be so PUBLIC. If I was a smoker who had since quit it's not the first thing people would notice when they saw me - but it's hard to hide a new size, you know?

Congrats on the loss and again on the 100 lbs. You look amazing! I completely understand what you are saying about the attention. I had one of Will's co-workers say OMG, I didn't even recognize you with Will. To myself I'm thinking wow, and I still have over 100 more lbs to lose...I really must be huge! Off to watch the rest! :D

Ha! I still sort of don't like exercising, but I like how effortless it's become to fit it into my day.

One day I hope that I'm as excited as you are about exercise! I can't be much help as to the amazement at being smaller because I'm not there yet... but if I ever happen to figure that one out, I'll message you!
