OK... I admit... I was a little discouraged when I had to weigh this morning.
But, I popped back pretty quick
darn that fat...go away!

OK so here is my starting pic, taken just moments ago! I hate that Geoff is 6' tall because he makes me look like a pygmy in any photo he takes...

Now, imagine me with 8 more inches on my body, and this is me at the beginning of the challenge.

Jules, OMG the pygmy comment got me laughing and reading your post out loud to my dh, who also snickered a bit. I will post a before pic in a minute, althought they are the same pics from my march madness. Actually, it is the same one in my siggy, so dun dun dun duuuuuuu, anti climactic isn't it?

Nice pic, Julie! First thing I noticed is how much you've lost in your face and neck. Your neck looks very long and slender. Are those your new jeans?? The look awesome.

You *are* looking very slender, Julie. And look at that clavicle!

I went to retrieve my camera back from Radio Shack. They said they couldn't find the part I need to fix it, and to go to the camera store at the mall (this after they had it for like, 8 weeks). So I'm going to see if my mini-me is in tomorrow and if she'll take a pic with her treo... or bring in her camera Wednesday.

Jules, the collar bones is such a sexy thing. My dh used to nibble.....uh maybe I won't go into details about that one.... LOL But let's just say, I love having a clavicle that can be seen! Sexy neck girl!

And look at that model pose.....

* I'm too sexy for this thread... to sexy for this thread* plays in the background!

Oh, and Joy, your siggy addition is very beautiful too! Goodness, I need to start running! Look at what it has done for all of you! Uhhh, Lyssie? Any pics from you runner girl?

There *are* recent pics of me on the board, yanno. :P You people act like I'm all mysterious and have never been seen before or something.

Re: Set off the Fireworks"- Lose 15 pounds by July 4th! A new

I am as dense as they come, so it isn't that you are all mysterious, I just don't know where you hang out other than at Journals or challenges. Do you have a journal Lyssie? Maybe a stupid question, but I have tried to find a Lyssie's journal but no luck! Maybe I should stop typing now.... I am suddenly feeling very stupid

Yeah, I do have collarbones. What bugs me is that the right one protrudes more than the left...drives me nuts. I should have worn a smaller shirt because this black one is somewhat baggy, and posing like that didn't help. I look like a Serbian body builder, I'm not *quite* that broad in the rib/side arm area.

And yes, they're the new jeans! But I look so squat with that camera angle, they could be size 20s for all you know...

Oh well, enough excuses. My work is done, picture is up and posted!

I'm not sure why, but we are always most critical of ourselves. Jules, your a mahvelous lookin woman!

I love the pic!!! You look amazing!!! It's hard not to be so hard on ourselves, but you really are beautiful

Hey Julie.... You look Great!!! If Geoff makes you feel uncomfortable for pictures, how about standing on a chair or something? You know, closer to eye to eye

Just to let you know what an inspiration you are for me. Starting weight the same. I'm an inch taller and have 27 yrs on you.... but you definately give me hope.
