Many Thanks

I would like to thank you guys for being so encouraging through this Biggest Loser Challenge! All your nice comments mean a lot to me.

We had our final weigh-in last night and overall I lost 8 pounds and 15 inches! YEA!

After my Thanksgiving setback (gained 6 pounds) I lost 5 pounds which put me at gaining a pound since our last weigh-in. I'm a little disappointed about that, but I'm thrilled with the inches I lost.

Turns out I lost the most inches out of everyone on our team! WOO HOO! The person who won the whole contest lost something like 30 pounds and 20 inches. So while I'm not THE winner, I'm still technically A winner because I'm lighter, thinner and stronger than I was 8 weeks ago.

Our team (The Blue Team) came in second overall and we're very proud of that. I am happy to have met these people and hope to remain friends with them.

Thanks again to all my friends and family for your support and encouragement over the last 8 weeks! I will continue to work toward my goal of 32 more pounds before we go to Ireland. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Here's the "Before" and "After" pics side by side
