Umm... not to point out the obvious but...

HOLY CRAP!!! FINAL WEIGH IN IS SATURDAY!!!

I can't believe how much has happened in my life in the last 5 months.. I'm sure you feel the same way about your own lives!!! I'm so excited to see everyones transformations! If you send in your pics I will send you before/after pics REGARDLESS of where you place!

Grace said...: I'd really like to be in another competition, but the start date presents problems: I'll be in France!

If I can possibly find a scale, I can do the first weigh-in and I can definitely take before pictures... but I don't think I can e-mail them until around July 10th when I'm back stateside.

How would that effect my standing? I could totally understand not really being in the running for the first month... but would that be enough for keeping me on track for the others?; June 3, 2010 at 7:24 AM
