    @Mami1976D what cuties your kids are! You look great too!

    Thank you. I like to think I make pretty babies. :wink:

    Just for the record, that requires a pretty mama/good genetics, too. Remember, when we compliment your babies, we compliment you too. For the record, you're definitely a member of the "one hot mama!" club. :)

    New NSV. I work in a bank in a small town, everyone knows everyone, kind of town. Every year at this time customers start to bring in all kinds of cookies, candies, and fudge for us. I just realized this morning with all the cookies and candy sitting on the breakroom table that I wasn't even tempted. Wow...I'm completely amazed. No appeal what so ever. I had already realized I felt this way about bread, rolls and pasta. I used to love those things, now I don't even like how they feel in my mouth. This WOE is just amazing.

    @Mami1976D Wow. That is a big difference. Ditto the others - you are a good looking family! :)

    @cynlyn2010 Ignoring free tasty food is a big one! Excellent! :)

    @Mami1976D, beautiful pictures!

    @cynlyn2010, way to go! That's the strength that no other woe can produce, so glad you're enjoying the full benefit (yea, pun intended, lol!)!! Simply awesome!

    My newest NSV is in a picture too! We had hubbys Christmas dinner this evening so I got to dress up! I felt so good wearing this dress! Btw: purchased on "Black Friday" online from Belk.com, for $39.80 (regular price was $88) and is size 14!!!

    @nvmomketo, I'm blushing, but have been so happy to see some curves hidden under all that fat! Thank you!

    I'm 1/3 of my way to my 67.3 lb weight loss goal (i.e. down 22.3 lbs), and the FIRST person finally noticed I'd lost weight. Yay!! (And the difference should be obvious since I can now pull off the pants that were tight when I started without unfastening them).

    The first odd thing about her noticing is, the last time she saw me around a year ago I didn't weigh much more then than I do now.

    The second odd thing is, she just came out and said, "How much weight have you lost?" (rather than posing it as a question about whether I have been losing weight). She said it in front of a person who has seen me about every other week for the last several years, including the last couple of months as I'm losing weight - who just kind of stared at her like, "What are you talking about ???"

    I grew a beard to give me gravitas.

    Now I'm slim,

    I just feel badass!

    I did grew a beard so no one said I looked too thin due to losing my fat face.

    I've never shared my pictures yet.

    The before is about 1 month in and I had already lost about 15 lbs (around 178?). The second is me a couple of weeks ago at about 155.

    Great restraint! Send some of your willpower my way!

    @nvmomketo You should be very proud of your progress! Looking good!

    Rolled out nine sheets of sugar cookies for decorating and baking. Only had to spit out dough once :)

    Wasn't really all that tempted but I was a bit grumpy because my daughter was supposed to do the rolling but was too tired from an all-nighter getting ready for an exam that day and was asleep.

    @totaloblivia and @Fvaisey Thank you. :)

    @cassandranken Mmmmm peanut brittle... I bet there are good nutty fat bomb substitute recipes out there.

    Had to fetch my leather punch again - went down another inch in two belts. Totally unexpected - I did drop 4 pounds in a week, but I thought it was fake.

    I've been on the Keto WOE since January 19th of this year. I've actually lost a little more since that pic, but I love the side by side comparison. Keeps me going when I feel weak.

    It gives new meaning to the old movie line "WOE is me." ;)
