Pincurls

Pincurls

Last night for fun I decided to put pincurls in my hair.  I took a picture so that I could share them with friends and family far away.  I took the picture on my camera phone myself, so that's why the weird angle, etc.  However, the cool thing about this is I can also see the shape of my face has changed with the weight loss.  :)  This is at -27.6 pounds.

My scale gave me a star!

My scale gave me a star!

I know it's a crappy picture and hard to see.  The big number in the middle is 26.8, the number of pounds I have lost as of today (9/14/06).  On the bottom left is 227.6, my starting weight.  And 70.8 is the amount of weight I still have left to lose. 

But WHAT'S THAT IN THE MIDDLE of those last two numbers???  Why, it's a STAR!!!  My scale gave me a star for losing weight!!!  How cool is that?

In case anyone is interested, my scale is a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Healthometer-Weight-Monitoring-Scale/dp/B00064NKDE/sr=8-24/qid=1158264434/ref=sr_1_24/102-6022784-9663302?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden">Healthometer Weight Monitoring Scale</a>, and, yes, I really like it.  I got it at Target on the last day of my choronic bad eating habits, 6/14/06.

This was taken in October of 1999, when I was about 160 pounds.  I had just lost about 50 pounds and was feeling great.  Unfortunately, soon after this my house burned down and I put the weight back on.  I look forward to getting back to this number again.

Fourth Anniversary

Fourth Anniversary

This is a pretty good representation of the weight I'm at now (6/17/06), the one I'm sick of!  The handsome guy in the picture is my husband.  This was taken a year ago, on our fourth anniversary.
