Guekjian, you look great! You don't look anywhere near 41, either!

O.k. gotta put in my homework!

My 3 things

1. My imagination - I'm always making up stories for dbf's little girl. She loves the stories I tell her about where we go every night in our dreams. I make up games for dbf, her and myself to play every weekend and dbf says life would not be so fun without my imagination running wild!

2. My loyalty - My friends all say that I'm the most loyal and faithful friend. Always there for them whenever they need me. I work hard not to let them down in any way. Friends are so important to me. They are my family of choice.

3. My skin - I'm really lucky not to have any wrinkles at all at the tender age of 36! I always get comments about how pretty my skin is - good genes! Its even better now with all the water and flax meal! I'm lucky to have sallow and unblemished skin and I'm thankful for that.

I'm joining in on the challenge and promise not to leave this one...lol!
I weigh again on Thursday at my doctors office so I'll have my starting
weight then... last Thursday it was up 10 pounds (164... yikes). I was
thinking about making my goal for the challenge my goal weight but, I
think that's too much for right now. So, I'm sticking to 10 pounds! I did
peek at the scale this afternoon and it said 159. So, if that's correct and
it holds on Thursday... My goal for the challenge will be to hit 149.

I hate taking pictures... but I will post one of course...lol. It's great
seeing the progress.

Did that make any sense???

Julie, can you send me the IMG code for the graphic, I'm on a Mac
so I can't right click. Thanks

Deb---your mom is awesome...tell her I said that, will you? She's sounds like a great supporter.

guekjian---I'm with P10 and Julie...my goal picture better look 1/2 as good as your before!

Don!!!---Welcome, Man! I was wondering if we'd have any guys sharing this road with us! Nice!

Sweetcher---Glad you're with us.

Three things I like about me...


1. My eyes....they're hazel blue, green on occasion, but for the most part the blue shines through. It's fun finding makeup to make 'em pop!

2. Recently has been my legs---they're skinning-up a bit from this walking stuff and body brushing.

3. My spirituality---I'm a firm believer of things happening for a reason and there is always a season for things in our lives. I'm glad that this is the season we are all joining in unison to support one another through this journey.

I'm in! Pledging 20 pounds. I'll update this post on the 4th with measurements/starting weight.

(I'm officially starting on the 5th, so much of my 20 pounds will be from the Induction weight loss)

Homework Assignment:

1. My Toes: I think they are just right! Not too long or too stubby. I like to keep my toenails painted bright colors and wear open toed shoes to show them off.

2. My Personality and Wit: I like to make people laugh. Coming up with a quick, funny response always makes me smile. Everyone likes to laugh and I like that I can give some people that pleasure.

3. My Hair: I keep my hair short and funky. It gets lots of comments, mostly positive but sometimes negative. Either you love it or hate it. I love it!

Did I cover everything thus far?
