5 Month Bandiversary and Photos

My 5 month bandiversary was last week. I am officially down 80 pounds. I haven't lost much in the past two weeks, if any. But at least I haven't gained any either.

Here are the latest pictures -

Lauren's Hope Medical ID Bracelets Deal

Fellow bloggers,

I just found out about a great deal from Lauren's Hope. They make very stylish medical ID bracelets. Here is the deal - Go to their website, click on Create a Link and put a link/image to their website on your blog. Send them a link to your blog confirming that you downloaded a link/image to your website/blog, send an email to them and  they will send you a $50 gift certificate.  (It's a few emails back and forth, but it seems worth it).

I have been tossing around the idea of getting one and may just get one now. Perhaps some of you may need one for other reasons as well. It seems like a pretty good deal. Check it out...

Hot Summer Meltdown Challenge

The Hot Summer Meltdown Challenge is finally over... and I came in 2nd place! I lost a buttload! (Well, not literally, my butt is still there).  However, I have already gained back a bit. Isn't it funny how that happens? As the second place winner I won a $75 gift card to the store of my choice. I think I may choose Target. I can buy clothes as well as all sorts of other things there. I am moving to a new apartment next week, so I could also use it to buy curtains or a lamp or something. What do you think?
