Some pretty amazing things going on in the Highfill Family…..WE HAVE A STAR!!

Well ok, that was a little overboard, but seriously though, I just got back from Tampa, Florida doing the most amazing thing…..SHOOTING A COMMERCIAL! How wildly amazing and fantastic is that. I met the most wonderful people from ALL OVER the country. Oregon, Washington State, Philly, AZ, CO, NY, Rhode Island, CT, Just to name a FEW!!

But eDiets.com, aka "my saving grace" invited me to participate in a commercial shoot to "Show Off" my weightloss success! I jumped on that in no time!

I don’t have a very inspirational story, so to speak, other than the fact, that I REFUSED, absolutely REFUSED to fall into the "I have kids, so I will just have to settle for being over weight". AND THAT’S IT….that is the bottom line of my story. I found eDiets.com online, and it has been nothing but success since then. I Have lost a total of 58 Pounds from my highest weight….a terrible 198 POUNDS!, keep in mind only 2 pounds from my weight 3 days prior to delivering Madelyn!! But I lost 34 pounds with eDiets!! THANK YOU eDIETS!!

The commercial should air the end of 2007\Jan 2008. I will be sure to let you know when it does happen….well have a big "popcorn party" for it!! But for now, here are a few pictures to hold you over for the real thing! I have NEVER shared the pictures outside the "immediate family". It is not a proud moment, but it was apart of my journey to becoming a HOT MOM!!! as I like to call it

It seems I am a melting pot of celebrities )

Bethlehem Stars Cheerleading 2007

Administrator — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 19:07:58 +0000

Well the 2007 Bethlehem Stars Cheerleading season has come to and end. Madelyn wasn’t quite sure what to think this year being on a non-winning team….last year they went to Regionals! She was a little baffeled, she still talks about it to this day.

Regardless we will do it again next year and it will be Lilly’s turn to join in.

Madelyn sang at church on Sunday night in church (10.21.07) She loves to sing and we love seeing her sing!! This year she is singing with the "BIG KIDS" she will get to sing in the big Christmas production that they do each year for the church–no solos but none-the-less she is still pretty pumped about it!

Here are a few pics of the evening and a short video or their song "Doxology"
