Thanks for posting Rain! Congrats on the weight loss! You look Mah-velous!

Very nice! Congradulations on the weight loss! I know how hard it is to lose, and keep off the pounds. Keep up the great work. (BTW, you are pretty!)

Good thing! I was hoping you weren't the Borg Queen!!!

Yet another cutie to feast our eyes upon! How about a closer shot Raine??

Looooking goood Raine!
Congratulations on your weight loss.

Now, let me guess...you had that picture taken at...hmmm 'looks into the crystal ball'...Oh, of coarse, you had that picture taken at the Star Trek Experience, in the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel.
I'm good ain't I!? LOL <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Wow! You look great. I bet that feels great too. Did you go on a shopping spree? <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Had to brighten the second pic up a bit so I could see ya better...looking great Raine! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Thank-you all for the ego boost! Yes, I feel 100x better about myself and I have SO much more energy.

A man whistled at me out his car window the other day. Now I know alot of women hate that shit, but DAMN. I think I floated the rest of the way to work!

To be honest, I didn't really diet. I walk a mile to work and a mile home every day now. I left my job in the pharmacy, where I stood around eating all day and not moving from my computer, for a job that requires more manual labor and actual WORK. And, I gave up my 6-pack of Pepsi a day habit. And although the weight loss has slowed down, and tends to fluctuate a bit, I am still losing. I can now say I am smaller than I was in High School. I actually bought a size 8 jeans the other day! (Must be the brand, though. All my other jeans are size 10, but it still felt great!)

And yes! I had a great shopping spree. Scared the hell out of my boyfriend, as he had to sit and be my audience while I tried them all on. When I managed to get into the size 8s, I jumped around like a maniac! Sweet David is so patient....

OH! And I got my hair cut the other day! Has anyone seen Jennifer Leigh Cook in Josie and the Pussycats? That cute little cut she has? That is what I did. I also had it coloured! I will post a pic of that real soon, cuz I LOVE it!

Again, thanks for the nice words!

Hey! Raine! You're doin' great! Keep up the good work. It's not so bad eating right once you've lost a lot of weight. It makes it so much easier to stay on the right track when you've made that kind of progress... <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
