Let's see: You're in the love handles challenge; the How Long Can You go?? challenge and now the Kentucky Derby personal exercise challenge.

Sunny, When the power was out for two days here I had you on my mind as well as the other ladies. You came in my head when I was working out and how much you have accomplished and dealt with. Thinking of you inspired me to work out extra hard these last two days. I also thought of Kass, working out at Curves. I love how Kass is focused and dedicated with her workout. She's not there to socialize, she's there to work out! Way to go Kass. Cat, I love your curls! My hair is curly like yours and Catherines. I understand about weighing everyday. GUILTY! We're so funny, we all get on the scale in our buff Hey that's the only way baby! I'm not giving an ounce to clothing, LOL

Ok, here goes. Here's the pic of me with curly hair (@ 240 lbs.). The main reason I straightened my hair was to hide the chubby face. See the difference after hair was straightened. Praise God for the weight lost.

Yep, that's my hair too! Straightening it is such a pain....in the summer I don't bother, lol.

Catrenia, it is phenomenal the difference in your face since 10/07.....you look great!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Hey Sunny! Alas, I had no patience to let my curls grow out any longer. I started out with a boy's cut. My daughter hated it and told me I looked like a boy (at the time I was 180 pounds). At the point this picture was taken, I was quite depressed and hated looking in the mirror. My face was so puffy. It's sad to say but probably the major reason for me losing weight is to rid myself of the chubby cheeks.

Hey Sherri! So I'm in a group of curly-haired females. That's so cool. Here (at home), I was about the only one with curly hair (besides my little angel). Do people always want to come up and touch your hair? They did me and it's like "back up, I don't know where your hands have been". LOL!!

Jersey, yep my face was gigantic. I mean, let's keep it real. I have to admit my self-esteem has improved greatly (or least it had until I have to post this stupid bikini pics in a minute). Nope, I've still not posted them. I'm so mortified.

Hey Kass, Marty, Tracy, Sweets, and Bekka!! Where ya'll at?

I'll speak to everyone in the AM. I'm posting these pics and then going to bed and trying to forget about it.

Girl, you are brave!!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Hey Purple cat and scalenski! I agree you're brave and you're pictures looked nice!
BTW... I just want to say I saw your pictures with the curls... and I think you look cute both ways... your hair looks nice straight but also really cute curly too! Being born with straight hair I've always wanted naturally curly hair! Isn't it funny how you straighten your hair and I curl my hair???? We always seem to want something different! huh?
I'm excited to start the New Years New You challenge... it's going to be fun!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

So Ladies,

That wondeful recipe that I was raving about. The Korean chicken and Beef that I cooked for New Years and once again. It has tons of sodium in it. I weighed myself the yesterday and had put on a couple of pounds. I went back to track what I had eaten and it was the soy sauce in the recipe. I got it from Linda's site and it has the * next to it for an induction recipe. I should have known as much soy sauce as I used to eat. Anyway, I refuse to update my siggy and go backwards. HA!
