Oh - I'm jealous that you have a hairdresser who reads your mind and gets it right!! How fun and wonderful is that?

I love Cam's post too!

What a great compliment from your sons. :) Your transformation really is amazing.

I LOVE Cam's post. She's a hoot. I'm thinking the three of us would have a good time. ;-)

And I adore your haircut. I've been thinking about getting some "flippies" done on mine. It just hangs there right now. I keep thinking it will eventually look like a supermodel's hair if I let it grow but it never does. LOL

Wow -- a psychic hairdresser :)
I love this concept! It would make life sooo much easier!

I know what you mean about the feet, I keep finding all sorts of things like that, that I didn't realize were weight-related, thought they were shoe related, age related, or just human anatomy. It used to be half of all shoes hurt too much to wear (arch problem?), and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Even some of them I couldn't wear, I now can.

I love your hair, looks really good on you. And I ...

I love your hair, looks really good on you. And I agree with some of the above: you should buy yourself new glasses, they're really too big for your beautiful face!

Awesome how yours sons react. While reading it made me think that I've been together with R. for almost 17 years now, more than half of it I've had overweight. Funny if you think about it.

Have a nice weekend. xxx

2009-12-05T11:52:00.691-06:00

Hey - L-O-V-E the hair! Please go get new glasses immediately. Early Christmas gift or something. I'm sure those college students don't need to eat or anything.
You know what else? In that picture, you look just like your mom, with blonde hair. Not Rita Skeeter. Well, maybe a little Rita, but without the whole coldhearted witch part.
Last confession? blush blush. I tried to pop the balloon with my pointer. blush blush. Didn't work.

That haircut is really flattering! You really look so healthy, even without makeup. Have you found that our complexion is better with the weight loss? That happened to me but I'm not sure why. Better circulation??

Shelley, Love the hair! Finding a good hairdresser is like finding a good doctor....you either do, or you don't! Looks like you got a good one.

And, what a gift you have given yourself and your boys when they saw you for the first time since July... how awesome...That must of been one of your top tens, in the best feeling in the world. :)

2009-12-04T16:25:34.863-06:00

The positively surprised responses from your kids is worth more than a hunnert male strippers and balloons!

The hair is fab. FAB. That lime green diva dress would complete the look--taken in about, oh, 4 dress sizes first. Vavavoom!

2009-12-04T15:51:22.111-06:00

I'm reading your blog for the first time (and I'm glad I did), so maybe you're even better-looking with make-up. I think you look great without it! Congrats on the compliments from your sons.

2009-12-04T11:18:00.582-06:00

I loved reading this post Shelley! It's funny, I lost my 70 pounds in 1999, when Hannah was 7 years old.

We were looking at old pictures not too long ago, and she said "I never remembered you being fat!"

LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!!!!! You are beautiful.

Have a wonderful weekend!

When I get to under 200, I am going to get an actual hairstyle for the first time in 20+ years. (I hate getting my hair done.)

and rita skeeter is fierce, so i wouldn't worry too much lol

one of my favorite parts of losing weight is the shocked faces. unabashed staring by strangers? i accept!

2009-12-04T07:12:49.546-06:00

Wow, that hair stylist really understands her clients!!!

You should get some really funky tiny glasses...lime green or red! Like a little piece of jewelry on that thin face.

You give me hope that my day IS coming!

That must have been so nice to hear from your sons...

2009-12-04T07:10:05.069-06:00

That must have been so nice to hear from your sons - you raised some good boys to treat their mama so well. Your face is skinny! Definitely time for new glasses. Have you done a before and after of just your face? That would be fun to see! Have a great day!

Your hair looks so cute! When I first saw the post...

2009-12-04T06:55:15.840-06:00

Your hair looks so cute! When I first saw the post before reading it, I thought the picture that you had torn out was a picture of you without your glasses. You do resemble the model in the picture! It must have felt amazing to have someone tell you your face was "too thin"!

What an awesome feeling that must of been for your...

2009-12-04T06:18:54.900-06:00

What an awesome feeling that must of been for your sons to see you. BTW, your son is right the glasses are way to big now. Time for a reward and get a fancy new pair! Congrats, you are beautiful (even without makeup)! cdmom
