WOW! I am completely blown away by all the pictures I've seen in this thread! It's amazing how many truly beautiful women there are on this site! Hey Julie, maybe there is a calendar in the cards at the end of this challenge!


Mitzi, I can see such a difference in your face between your siggy pic and the one you posted. Your face looks so much thinner and younger. If you want to make it your siggy pic, I say go for it!

Ooooh Paula, that's not a bad idea! I think we could make some major $$ off of the men of ADBB, dontcha think? You know they'd want to buy a calendar of their favorite girls. I want to be Miss July!

Thank you so much, Michelle... that means a lot to me.

I was thinking of this as I was running this morning...

Has anybody seen the movie Real Women Have Curves? It's a great movie--America Fererra (from Ugly Betty) is in it. It's very much about accepting who you are and what you can be, rather than trying to pretend or become something you're not. I recommend it if you haven't seen it yet!

LOL... that would be fun! And yes, I am so jazzed by the number of people who have posted pics. It is very inspirational.

Thank you, Paula... I really appreciate that.

Mitzi, I just did! I joined Liz's (hopejoy) July Pushup Challenge, so I did 2 sets of 25 pushups just now. "Boy" pushups, for clarification.

OMG!!! I don't think I can do even 1 "boy" pushup. You go, girl!

Hey Deb. I agree with you, having so many experts here like Adena, Julie, Joy, Cher, Jess, etc. etc.

We'll have great mentors.

Wow, Julie -- I totally can't do boy push ups. I should really work on that. I used to do them like a pro back when I was in high school. Ah, the good old days.

Well, I have a confession... I actually cheated yesterday. Not horrible or anything, but four habanero doritos, two tostitos scoops, two bites of baked beans, a chocolate chip cookie and a small brownie with frosting. OK, now that I see that all written out it DOES seem horrible. Anyway, I am having gastrointestinal rebellion from it today!!! Scale only went up 0.2 pounds, which I think is water, but still... Not probably the best way to start a challenge, huh? Don't want to GAIN 10 pounds by the end...

((Ann))...now you know what to do right? Move on to the very next meal Atkins style according to your OWL Rung, drink your water, exercise a bit, figure out what triggered the chow down, learn from that moment, plan for the next chow down with something handy, and move on. Ain't no thing
