So…I was following the SAMA drama and just wanted to say that you fuckin’ rock.
I think I remember you saying at some point you weren’t going to post real before pictures…and you didn’t…but the changes you’ve made are awesome. I always think seeing where someone has been makes seeing where they’re at much more meaningful. Keep on killing it, girl.
You are lucky to have had such a wonderful and inspirational woman in your life. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Just wanted to say the homage to your grandmother was beautiful and well said. Having such people in your life is a gift.
off to see what the shit storm is about.
perhaps it shouldn’t matter Hallowed but damn I’m impressed. Just got caught up with the shit storm and you’ve blown my mind with the progress you’ve made. Courage wolf is your meme. I bow to your will.
xx
Re: shit storm.
I wish I had known you at the beginning of your weight loss journey. Your before pictures completely blow my mind. I feel like I have seen dramatic changes in the past 6 months, only to find you are only fine tuning. The insight you have shared on these forums has always been spot on, and now we know you have truly earned it. Hands down, one of the most amazing transformations I have seen. I’m proud of you.
I’m sure this wasn’t The effect homie was trying to create, but whatevs.

May your grandmother Rest in Peace, Hallowed.
Many hugs for your Grandmother passing. Lucky to have a strong woman like that in your life.
Hopefuly you are also feeling a bit relieved after the sama stuff, it can be a relief to just get it all out there.
I’m thinking you will be getting a good nights sleep tonight?
Oh Hal, what a lovely tribute to your Grandmother. I’m glad you had someone so strong in your life!
Well damn so no fun here. Crazy shit in SAMA
Sorry to here about your loss. From what i have read in the threads you seem to be one strong person and you will pull through and become stronger.
Again very motivation transformation you have had. Very inspirational to say the least. Keep up the great work.
You’ve had a rough day. I will allow you to rest your head on my shoulder if you don’t complain when I reach for a little side-boob.
Le mie condoglanzie per tua nonna, speriamo che lei riposa in pace.
Hallie, I am a little late but also want to pass on my condolences. The poem is beautiful.
Hope you have a better day tomorrow

Condolences on your Grandmother. That’s always tough.
But congratulations on your progress. Really. That is a true reason to use “epic transformation.” Most impressive.
Hope today is a better day for ya.
I was going to send ya a PM making sure you were doin’ alright, but you’re tough as shit (and probably overloaded with pm’s at the moment) so I decided to just pop back into your log.
TODAY IS A NEW DAY, so kick it’s ass!!

Aw Hallowed. I know how that feels. My grandma passed away last year. I was lucky that it happened on spring break and I was able to fly out and stay with my aunt and uncle by her side until she passed. Now I’m crying again. But I think it’s good. It sounds like your grandma was as much as an example of strength to you as mine was to me. We were so lucky to have them. I feel the same way as you about death.[/quote]
She lived completely independently and alone in her house in Atherton until last year! She was mind blowing. It was a broken hip that sent her to live with my parents and as they say it WAS downhill after the hip. Still she was with it mentally right until the last few days. There was nothing left unsaid there and we are so lucky for that.

What an incredible woman your grandma was! My thoughts are with you, darlin. She seems like an absolute blessing to have been near. 96 years is beast mode age! Must run in the family :)[/quote]
Beast mode is no joke! When my dad’s number was called early for the Vietnam draft she petitioned and visited her state representative ann eventually up to the Governor of California to have my Grandpa’s death declared as a casualty of war. He got sick during the War and the cause of MS is unkown. Once he was declared a casualty of war my dad was released from the Draft. That was her. Draft my son? No I don’t think so I’m taking this to the governor.

Hallowed,
You were blessed to have her for so many years. I sounds as though she lead a full life. I lost my grandmother many years ago and a brother 4 years ago. I find peace in knowing they are in a better place and cherish the memories of the times we did share.
Blessings to you and yours[/quote]
Thank you so much, you’re a doll.

I cried like a baby when I read that. I am so sorry you lost her but I am happy to hear she had such a full life and a loving family.[/quote]
Sankyou so much. Long and full life indeed. More than just her family it was her students whose lives she changed for the better. Teachers are awesome and she was the best of the best. Teaching girls business skills at a time when that could make the difference between them supporting themselves or not.
Dash N Grny I would address this shirt convo but I has no fucking clue what you are talking about!
