ACK!

Here's a more recent before & after shot of me. I still have some more weight I'd like to lose to be at my goal, but I'm getting there. I did put on a few pounds during our trip to Disney World. I even brought my scale with me, which drove Rick crazy. At one point it said I had gained 14 pounds. I about freaked! However, by the time I got home the actual number was only 7 pounds over. I've been home a week and am happy to say I'm only 1-2 pounds over where I was. Hopefully, a few more days and I'll be moving forward again. But even so, my first reaction when I see these pictures is -- ACK! In all honesty, I don't recognize either of those people. Who is that weirdo?

    You look wonderful, Rena! Vacation is the time to splurge!

    My parents are doing the 17-day diet and my dad has lost about 23 pounds in only 6 weeks. He has 30 more to go.

    Celebrate the little things!

    Wow Rena,lookin' good! You have my admiration. I'd say only gaining that little bit on a vacation is not bad at all. Leanne

    You must be very proud. I love watching America's Biggest Loser. It is incredible the work they put into losing their weight. So inspiring.

    Thanks so much, everyone!

    I'm happy to say I'm back to the same weight I was right before I left for Disney World. In the past 8 days, I managed to lose those 7 pounds I put on. I didn't change much this week and ate pretty much the way I always do.

    I hope I can move my weight loss ticker soon! :)

    I have to laugh at those pictures, though. That's Neil's arm in both of them and we're standing in the same position. How funny.
