Before and After: Can I get your vote?

[GLC1968]

A year ago I joined a program called Leanness Lifestyle University and signed up for the Lifestyle180 course. From July through December, I lost only 23 lbs, but I gained an amazing amount of knowledge and the ability to keep this weight off forever. I've spent the last 6 months 'camping' at my body's 'happy weight' of 138 lbs (give or take a few). My goal for the next six months is to push forward to my final goal.

Anyway, I'm posting for two reasons. First of all, I'd love your vote! There is a large amount of prize money to be won and I'd love to be a part of it. If you click on this link, you can vote for me. You can actually vote for more than one, so please feel free to do so. There are so many inspiring transformations here!! I promise that if you vote for me and if I win any of the cash prizes, I'll spend it here at TE (all my bike shorts are too big!!). ;)

The second reason I'm posting here is in case anyone is struggling like I was. The head coach at this program has worked with many endurance athletes in the past and really has a no-nonsense approach to weight loss. It's all about education. He gets it, and so do his assistant coaches. Anyway, I would wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone (no matter what shape you start in!). Please feel free to PM me if you'd like more info. I'm sure there is a link to find out more at the same site where you vote, but I'd be happy to offer my own opinions/experience.

Thanks!

Your stomach and arms really give me hope that mine will eventually slim down, too! You look amazing!!

How come there's a different picture in the voting? You look awesome!

[GLC1968]

Crankin - I'm not sure since he did both of them for me but I suspect it's because he didn't use any bathing suit photos for women this time.

Wow. Congrats. I voted.

I also see a lot of weigh loss in all those pics. Congratulations to all. Great job!

[malkin]

You look great!
I voted for you!!

[CyclChyk]

You go girl!! I totally voted for you! Very inspiring ��

[cosc]

Congratulations on your weight loss. You look fabulous. So many inspirational stories told through those pics.

[PamNY]

You look great -- wonderful success story. I voted.

[Sky King]

Fantastic! I just signed up for a slim down challenge to motivate myself to drop the five pounds I found over the winter. You inspired me to print out my before and afters from a year and half ago when I was at my lowest weight. Now to go vote! We can never have to many pairs of bike shorts

I love your "new" hair. It's beautiful

[Catrin]

You look great, and I do really like your "new" hair style!

[GLC1968]

Thanks all!

Yeah, the hair looks fabulous when I blow it out like that but it takes so long to do that I rarely bother. I think I've worn it that way maybe 4 or 5 times total in the past year! Most of the time, it's curly/frizzy and in a ponytail. :(

[Triskeliongirl]

Done! U look great!! You should have posted the bikini shot at that site!!

[uforgot]

How wonderful you look! I voted.

[solobiker]

Way to go! You look great.

[emily_in_nc]

You have my vote, Catherine -- you look fab! Congratulations!

[GLC1968]

Thanks all!

Final honors were awarded and I made *** Laude and received a $100 award.

6 candidates made Summa *** Laude and 6 made Magna *** Laude. Since I failed to do a video testimony (which was part of the consideration), I'm thrilled to have even made honors at all. I'm fairly certain I owe it to all of you for your votes...so THANK YOU! :)

(LOL!! Apparently the sensors don't much like Latin!! - *** = c.u.m)

[Catrin]

Yayyyy, congratulations!

[emily_in_nc]

Alright, Catherine!

Way to go- you look great. I lost 40 lbs a few years ago and am currently trying to get the 12 lbs off that crept back on after a while. Get the new shorts :)
