HYC Update - Week 18

The extra two days until weigh-in paid off! Can you believe this?

Surprise Bling!!!


I stepped on the scale tonight and could NOT believe my eyes. Minus 1.7 pounds for a total of 85 lbs.! Talk about your "something wonderful". LOL

At some point over the past few months, I decided new bling equals new photo, so here we go:

This is Christmas 2004 compared to last week. I don't mind sharing with you that this one hurts a little.

Okay, a lot.

But that's the way it was. I have to quit thinking of that self as a failure and remember that she was simply someone who hadn't found her way yet. She didn't quit trying, even when she wasn't successful. And she had a nice smile. :)

Someday I'm going to have to deal with all that, but for tonight, I'm tapping into my inner Scarlett and pushing it off until another day.

Yet another wonderful thing that happened was that yesterday's post brought some new visitors to my blog! I thank you for stopping by, and I'm very much looking forward to checking out your blogs!

And for you "old regulars", I hope you know I adore each and every one of you! Your support and enthusiasm and good humor are the best bling of all!

I hope you're all having a wickedly wonderful week! I'm trying to catch up on the check in, so please forgive me if I haven't checked you out yet. I'll be there eventually! :)

WOWSERS!!!

What a BLING!!

Cammy, you ROCK!!

You look so great. What a pretty girl, before and after. I know it must have been hard to share those photos, especially the before. But sharing them really helps us to keep on track knowing that if someone else can do it we can too!

You are truely an amazing person and I don't mean in the looks department alone. You've got such a great attitude and help so many of us out here in "getting thinner land."
