Hi guys!!!!! I'm so happy to be here.  Well first let me just apologize for being absent from our blogs.  Also, I hope no one is sick from thursday weigh in.  . . so sorry if I got you sick  

To be honest, I have had the greatest time of my life these past weeks.  So much fun, and no time for anything!  I am the luckiest girl in the world to have made it to this competition and have an opportunity of meeting you.  I've made so many changes, that it's not even funny.

I've actually taken time to walk my dog.  Really really walk my dog. I know it's crazy.

I'm actually enjoying shopping because I can walk!  My feet are not hurting in 5 minutes and oh it's time to run HOME. Grab what you can and run to the checkout lane....!!!!!

I fit into a new pair of jeans that my mom bought for me about 3 years ago at Kmart, and they have been sitting there just looking at me every single day!  I am wearing them right now as I type and I love that there is room in my back pocket to place my cell phone! Whoooo hooo

I remember when I went to try on my wedding gown in February, they lady wanted to order me a size 24, and I told her , "no I'm going to loose weight by my wedding, I plan to be at least an 18 or 16" and she insisted that I order a 24-or 22.  It made me sad because she made me feel like I couldn't do it.  I think she even made me believe that I couldn't do it.  Now as I reflect back, I set my goal to a 12 because I know that everything that has been placed before us works.  It really works.  I'm hoping to go back in July and see how gorgeous my dress is really going to fit.   By the way I expect every one of you at the wedding.  So start blocking Oct 4 weekend! Port Aransas baby here we come! Bikinis and all... whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooo
