Hello! I'm your moderator!

I figured I should be a good example and get the ball rolling!

My name is Sariah Sunvison - you may know me through my many e-mails as your moderator!  I am very apprehensive about "running the show" this round, but I promise to do my very best.


I participated in the original "Hot for the Holidays" that ended about two weeks ago and was able to lose 12.6 lbs.  Man, did I have to work and fight for every ounce I lost.  But I didn't quit and it paid off!  (Not to say I didn't have days that were better than others)  And that's the promise I can make to you.  Just don't give up.  Even if you fall off the wagon and eat and entire pint of ice cream and wash it down with a liter of soda.  Get up the next morning and try again, and by the time the 10 weeks are up you will be so glad you didn't stop!

Here is a picture I had my 7 year old take of me in a super-discounted non-returnable modcloth dress that JUST arrived yesterday (hence why it's still crazy wrinkled) -

 The problem with shopping at modcloth is that they sell their dresses by small, medium, large, and etc., but they aren't more specific than that.  They give you NO measurments.  Well, I took a gamble and figured that since I wear a medium in general, a medium dress would be about right.  As you can see, the dress is TIGHT across my belly.  I am hoping that by the end of this 10 weeks I can post another picture of myself in this dress (freshly pressed and maybe with heels and hair done!) and that it will be fitting comfortably across my mid-section.

Well ladies, I'm nervous and excited for the next 10 weeks.  Lets give it all we've got!

Sariah
