Okay so I didn't win the contest. Our friend Devin won and he lost 33 lbs. But I feel like I won.... I lost 17 lbs!! Where did all the weight come from? Here is the breakdown: 8 lbs - getting married. 7 lbs- when I stopped nursing but didn't stop eating. 5 lbs - were gained just from the holidays right before we started the contest. So now I am pretty much back to my wedding day weight. We ended May 1st and I am still losing weight.
I say I don't believe in diets because I don't think there are any quick fixes to lose weight. I did it slowly and by exercising and eating smaller portions. I still ate dessert! I believe that any diet that makes you feel guilty for eating dessert is never going to get you anywhere. I could go on and on about it. If you need any advice or words of encouragement let me know I would love to talk about it! Good luck to all of you that are trying to lose weight. It is battle, but I know you can win!

Lookin' good, Caroline! I agree with you and think that eating less and moving more is the key to healthy living. I love chocolate--I just have to budget calories/work-outs in order to eat it. Now if only I could take my own advice...
You look great! I can't believe you even had that much to loose.
CONGRATULATIONS Caroline!! You look fabulous!!! I'm SO proud of you!! I have to agree with you, it's all about lifestyle. I couldn't diet if I tried... and I've tried and it never works.
Yay for you! Just the motivation that I need to jump on the band wagon. Maybe tomorrow though, right?
Great Job Caroline! We sure miss you guys up there!
