Holy Croly - I've lost 50 lbs!
Tuesday, February 16th 2010
So the comments are coming in a floodstorm now. I can't avoid them probably because people feel like they can't avoid making them.I suppose 50 lbs is a lot of weight - who am I kidding... that's a TONNE of weight.

When I see pictures of myself in my bikinis... I don't cringe necessarily but I do recognize, especially when looking at my belly, that maybe I've got a littl...
