The other day I went to lunch with friends from law school. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them, and one friend gasped when she saw me. She could really see the difference, which made me very happy since up until very recently people couldn’t tell I had lost any weight at all. She admitted that since she hadn’t heard an update regarding my weight, she assumed either nothing had changed or I had stopped dieting.
In fact, I have now lost a total of 40 pounds in 110 days. And while so many pictures of me in one post is probably vain and definitely unnecessary, I am so DAMN PROUD that I can post a profile picture of myself with only 1.5 chins that you are lucky I limited myself to three.
you should be proud. you look amazing.
Looking good, girl! Keep up the good work!
Love the happiness shining through in your smile, congratulations!
You look beautiful.
You are gorgeous! Wow! And you BE PROUD… it is so hard to lose weight. People who don’t understand have NO idea what it’s like. Be encouraged!
You look incredible! I only see one chin, by the way. Seriously.
You’re so gorgeous… How nice to be make-up free and that pretty! Not fair!
Keep up the great work!
By the way, what kind of skin care and make-up do you use?!
These photos are adorable — you look genuinely happy in each of them. I’ve only been following your blog for about a week now and I love it! Love your writing style and honesty. Congrats on your recent weight loss; I know it can be a challenge. :o) Keep on keeping on, sister!
Amanda–I definitely have 1.5 chins. I just chose the pictures that favor them the most. :)
I’m not makeup free! I’m wearing moisturizer, concealer, sheer foundation, mascara, lip gloss, and blush. I *am* makeup free on most days, though, and I feel that is one of the reasons my skin has held out well–minus the large pores on my nose/cheeks and age spots under my lid. (I’ll be 37 in November.)
And, since I LOVE to talk about skin care and makeup, I will totally share my routine! It’s super cheap, easy, and kind of boring, but since I love to talk beauty I’m all over it. :)
Jules-definitely you should be proud! I don’t think you’re vain…you’re very…not vain! ;) But how do you camouflage the “other” aspects of PCOS?? You can email me if you want! I so gotta try your diet! That’s awesome!
Cara–are you talking acne and hair growth?
you look fantastic!
Congrats, Jules. You are amazing – inside and outside!
You’re a superstar! A newly svelte superstar.
Way to go woman! You are beautiful!
You look amazing and you better be so proud of yourself for this accomplishment. I have never been on a diet because the minute I say diet I am starving. The minute I say exercise I am hurting, I wish but never do. Congratulations to you who can and did. xo, MB
1.5 chins, my dwindling ass! There’s ONE there, lady. You look awesome!
You look GREAT! Kudos on the lbs. lost. I enjoy your writing so much. I wonder how many calories are used laughing? Your post on Jul. 30 had me going, I can relate and OMG that sounds like me. P.S. I agree I view one chin there.
definitely, only one chin.
Beautiful.
and hey, while you’re at it, do you think I could borrow just a couple of your eyelashes? you clearly have some to spare. that’d be great. thanks.
Looking hot as ever, my hottie mctoddie wife…..Thank you for all that you do and looking hot while doing it…can’t wait for date night this Saturday!
You look gorgeous! And I loveLOVElove your eyelashes!!!
You kill me! Those eyes! What’d I’d give to have eyes like yours! Yes, please post your beauty regime because I will follow it like the Bible. You know, I went to Sephora in search of your Smashbox lip gloss combo and I couldn’t find them. Darn it!
You look great. It can be really hard when the weight isn’t flying off, but since you have been at it for 110 days already, and you have lost 40 POUNDS!&?!?, you should be so proud.
40 pounds??? You ROCK GIRL!… and you are *BEAUTIFUL*!!!
Yay! You look fantastic!
You have nice hair.
Is that a dinosaur dance party I see going on in the background? Random I know.
You look mah-velous btw.
Hah! I should have know you would be the first person to say something, Kendra! It’s the first thing I noticed when I downloaded those pictures, too. Dinosaurs, dinosaurs, all around my house! :)
Hey there beautiful! You’re positively glowing.

I agree with the other commenters re: eyelashes and dinosaurs!
