Crystal, you look great! You have definitely made wonderful progress over the course of this challenge. I can hear your frustration with yourself regarding your eating today. But realize that you now recognize that you didn't do what is best for you! Before you justified it and that was it. Now, you enjoyed a little too much, and you KNOW what you did, and you're not going to let it happen tomorrow. You've changed your mindset !

Cazz, holy incredible shrinking woman, Batman! That is such an amazing comparison! Thank you so muchfor sharing your b/a pictures. You're inspiring!


Happy Easter everyone! Has a nice day here. The buffet we ate at was disappointing so that's a stinker, but I made up for it with 4 glasses or champagne. LOL Didn't do too bad there-one plate of food (small portions of chicken, prime rib, shrimp, one CA roll, chunk of honeydew) and then my dessert was half a Belgian waffle, cool whip (I'll admit that I put a copious amount on!) and four strawberries (2 I dipped into the chocolate fountain). Oh and a mini chocolate dipped rice krispies treat. Hubby and I did good.

Happies for today:
-showed control with the buffet food
-rocked that bridesmaid dress (my mom and sis both noticed it was 'that' dress)
-I took a killer nap when we got home (there was a sunrise service on our hill that we didn't know about, so we were woken up at 5A to the sound of a heart beat and singing. Hubby went outside to look and saw people at the cross on the top of the hill with candles. We were a little worried for our dry mountain!) and then took the puppies with us to get the most American dinner possible, McD's! :laugh:

OKay - so not so bad. Over the course of the challenge, I lost 5.8lbs. That equates to 0.6lbs a week average, which is definitely on the slower than I was hoping side, but at least it's a loss. Considering the issues at the beginning of the challenge, this is really not so bad....Will be more involved with the next one.

I ended up losing 14 lb during the challenge, so I am very happy with that! :bigsmile: I have company right now, so I don't have time to post before & after pictures!

Crystal & Cazz, you both look FABULOUS!!!!!! Way to go ladies!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

Good job at brunch Pink!!!! Way to rock the dress!!!! :bigsmile:

I did NOT do so well with my Easter! :grumble: I have been stressed this week and I let it allow me to make very poor decisions yesterday. :ohwell: Thankfully, today is a new day AND a new challenge!!!!!! :happy:

CrystalS

Well, I'm just keeping my weight from last week, because I was too chicken to weigh this morning. :laugh: :blushing: Maybe by the time I weigh next week, I can be down and then some.

So I'll keep it at 178.0 and that makes 11 lbs lost for this challenge.:happy: I wish it was more, but I'm sure not complaining!

I'm so proud of everyone for their hard work and accomplishments during this challenge. :flowerforyou:

Here's to the new challenge! :drinker:

Crystal & Cazz--freakin awesome ladies!!! You both made GREAT progress--I'm so happy for both of you :bigsmile:

Of course I'm happy for everyone else, too... we'd love to all see some more pictures!!! And now that I've said that, I will say that I don't have before and after pics *DOH* I will try to get an after picture tonight on the cell phone though... it will just be bad quality.

I do want to post though, as I am SO EXCITED, my final weight-loss for this challenge was 19 lbs!!! :noway: I literally weighed myself about 10 times to make sure it wasn't just a fluke.

So excited for our new challenge! I am doing a mini-challenge against one of my MFP friends, so I'm hoping the H2O challenges will give me the advantage

You guys are all so awesome, and I just love hearing about our progress and helping each other get there--GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!

Here's my EGGstra challenge before and after pictures:

[img]http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w219/cuddlebunny116/MFP/DSC_2407-2-1-1.jpg[/img Sorry about the tilt on the after picture. I took it quickly as soon as I'd gotten home from the buffet and didn't get to check do a photo shoot/correction photo. Had a great NSV today...the attendant at my laundromat is always nice, we smile and say hi to each other, but that's it. I see her once a week. Today as I'm reading and waiting for my dryers to finish, she comes up to me and tells me I've lost weight, asks what I'm doing, and then gives me a mommy-like shoulder rub/pat and says "you look very nice, honey". I was wearing bermuda shorts and a Blink 182 baggy shirt, nothing "skinny enhancing". *kitten* eating grin, party of one![/img]

So I finally had some time to post the photos. The first photo was from the week after Valentine's Day and the second was from today....I know it's a little late, but I'm going to use it as my starting photo for the next one too....I don't see much of a difference, but we will for the next one....And forget about the facial expression in the first one. I was saying "Are you ever going to take this photo???" And the second one is sooooo much bigger for some strange reason. I resized them both to be the same.....*sigh* Sorry for commandeering your screens....LOL
