ill be posting a picture as soon as jen gets home late tonight and we can get the makeup at the store... nuff said.
i gave it all i had and lost by only being able to manage to lose 18lbs this month of my 35lbs weight loss goal.... or a mere 51.43%... not even close to your killer achievement. still have a hard time accepting losing over 4lbs a week wasnt enough to win for me... lol.
i knew i should have had a more realisitc first goal weight... like 210 or something.... lol.
gratz Brook great job!

HOLY COW, Erik!!! That's INCREDIBLE! Seriously. Well done, man!
Now, I'd be completely content with a new, spiffy picture of you just holding up the sign - sans the Mimi-esque look. Cuz 18lbs is, in my opinion, an incredible amount of weight to take off, an amazing achievement and nothing to be punished over! LOL
Fair being what it is.
But for my own personal humor, you could still throw on heels for the picture. heh heh
Well...what can I say...you are still a winner! Also a good sport and boy do you ever look cute...that color of lipstick is definately a keeper! You just have to look at the week 0 picture to see how far you have come...and if took wearing some make-up to get you there I say it was worth it!!!!

Oh my. I just might be sorry I asked! lol. Erik, don't enter any drag contests. What did the boys say?
<chuckle; snort> So sorry. That was (maybe) rude of me. (grin) Thanks for the link and for such a good time this past month. Is there a phase two for a new contest or is it purely for the weight loss now? I saw you updated pic the other day but didn't have time to comment. You are looking GOOD!!
