Some of these are very dark... They need some light bulbs in that place!!! To quote Karen!!! LOL

The first picture is, as we call ourselves, "the original 4"... we've been pals since our first East County Meeting, Tracie, Sandi, Karen and Christina. We're gonna miss you Karen...

Next picture is Crystal, Karen and Christina all three squishing into one of the benches made for only 2 people, they're SO skinny now!!! LOL You girls look Mahvelous!!

Next picture is at Outback and it was across the aisle and I'm sorry, so dark, but it's Andi and Renee... Both Lookin' good!!! Thursday night was Andi's one year anniversary since surgery and she's down over 170 pounds, that's including the amount she lost just prior to surgery too!!! YOU GO GIRL!!! And Renee is just out from surgery since May, I'm sorry Renee, I can't remember exactly the date, but she's down 80 pounds!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

The last picture is even farther down the aisle, and even darker still... this is Gena, she's not on the forum, but one of the regular East County group members and she's about 2 years out and has lost very close to 200 pounds, totally awesome, and there on the other side of the table is our Tonya, she's just 5 weeks out yesterday, she's down 30+ pounds, I didn't hear her say, but I KNOW she's doing well!!!! YEA GIRL And her mom Linda who is such a great support system for Tonya!!! Yea Linda!!!

I'm sorry the pictures are dark, but, like Karen said, "They need some light bulbs in here!!!"
LOL
Enjoy the pictures!!!

Hi all,
Great see the pictures, even if they are dark, I can still see somewhat and that better than nothing, right. As a new Jr. Mem. Maybe, just maybe I could be in one to? Boy am I bothersome or what? Love you all.
