My trip to New York for the Rachael Ray show was FANTASTIC. I absolutely loved every minute of it… here are some picture highlights of the trip — remember that I was there for less than 36 hours and it rained 1/2 the time (not to mention that I didn’t even think to look up where certain places were before I left! Yes, I was that frazzled!!!) Thank goodness my cousin lives there and showed me to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Fifth Avenue and how to get to Times Square. Next time I come to NYC… I need SO much more time!

The dress I wore on National TV… and yes, I got to keep it — now I just need a great occasion to wear it for! Hmmmm… maybe there’s a special guy out there that wants to ask out the fantastic girl in this picture???
Rachael Ray & myself
It was a great trip to New York… thanks to Lord & Taylor, Cutler Salon, the Rachael Ray Show and especially to Weight Watchers for making this all happen! You all are the BEST!

Wow soo cool, you look fantastic and did great on tv!
I wonder if RR will be doing nutritional info with her recipes anytime soon?
You look fabulous and I love the dress! That's so cool that you got to keep it.
Fun pictures! What were you there for? I will have to come back later and watch the segment, after my son goes to bed!

Exciting stuff! Rachel Ray is short, eh?!! =) You look fabulous!
Too cool!
What a great dress – and how totally exciting! Was she as high-energy as she appears on t.v. – I personally could not wake up to a high energy person like that even cooking my breakfast! You look fabulous!

I just saw your segment – Amazing! You are Amazing! Such strength and self-discipline to take that weight off! I’m working on taking off about 30+ lbs (I’ve lost about 15 but have more to lose – I gained a lot in our move last year). Your story is an inspiration! (however, I’m doing desert recipes this week and next – so I’ll have to eat in moderation – and not skip a work out day – and, hopefully, my boys will eat the deserts!)

WOW. You simply look incredible! SO good for you – losing weight is such an uphill battle and yet, you did it! Not to mention you did it so well that you were asked to be on the Rachel Ray Show! Wonderful for you!!!
Also, I love finding other Christian bloggers that are not afraid to mention that they are Jesus lovers…:) Thanks for that, too.
Happy SITS Day!

How on Earth did I miss this post? I know I’ve only been following you for a couple of months, but I thought I had read most of your archives.
I’ve said it over and over, and I’ll say it again…you really are an inspiration. When I first read about your weight loss success, I had just started my own journey. I had no idea how much I weighed when I started, but after looking at your before pics, I realized I was more or less the same size. It terrified me to think that I had let myself get so big. I went out the very next day and bought my scale. I wasn’t at the 300 mark, but I was pretty close.
I’m still in the early stages, but I just wanted to let you know why I consider you such an inspiration.

I’m sure there’s a great backstory to your visit on the show. did you blog about it? very cool.
i grew up in Michigan although on the other side of the state. but i remember visiting holland when i was a kid and all the beautiful tulips. great place. very symbolic of the best of the mid-west.
hope your SITS featured blogger day was great.
