I was a little freaked out for my weigh in today. I had three birthdays to celebrate this week (mine, my dad's, and my daughter's), plus my anniversary. I had tons and tons of cake, homemade ice cream, alot of wine, steak and snacks. I was over my points for the week by at least 50...BUT I was down 3.6 lbs :O)

PHEW! Close one ;o)

I made the cake in this first picture for my Dad's birthday. He really liked it. Then there's a few pics from throughout the week. I'll post more later.

That's SO great... i've read your blog forever, and you always seemed to lose weight the weeks you ate cake.... how lucky can you be??!!

It's so weird Leslie. I wonder if it's because I don't eat cake very often, or because I run around like a lunatic putting on the parties and entertaining house guests during this time of year. Either way, I'll take it, I ♥ cake!

Oh my goodness.....I'm in awe of your success! I can not believe the amount of weight you have lost and how tiny you are now! You are another motivation to keep running. Did you run the entire time you were following WW? I was following WW and lost motivation....and I'm slowly becoming addicated to running. Tonight is my "first" official night to run outdoors...my spouse is going to follow me on his bike and time me for 20 minutes. I'm in the middle of my couch to 5k program...and it's Week 5, Day 3....running for 20 minutes straight.

I would love for you to send me your link to a blog entry where you 'started'...and how you wrapped your head around losing weight.

Did you only follow WW?
Did it really only take you one full year??

Congrats!

As always, I'm super impressed with how great you look. Congrats on your 1-year anniversary, too!

Just wanted to say, you (and your blog) are awesome! I loved reading about your progress, and ups & downs. I'll definitely be keeping up with you (the fact that we have the same first name doesn't hurt either!! ;-)

wow, I just came across you blog and just had to let you know how amazing your weightloss is!

I am trying to lose weight (start weight of 235lbs, want to get to 126lbs or there abouts cause I am only 5ft 3 tall) and you pictures down the side there have shown me what an amazing difference even losing some of the weight can make.

Congratulations on your amazing weightloss!
