I semi failed at what I wanted to achieve, but not a total loss. People are still going to have lighter wallets. My final weight as of yesterday morning was 256lbs.
This means that my total weightloss has been 24lbs, so not too shabby! My body shape has changed too. I went from a 48" waist (I know...) to a 38½" waist, so the weightloss has made a direct and definite impact on how I look:D
Thank you to everyone who agreed to sponsor me on this, and double thanks to those of you that have agreed to see me through to my birthday! You are all amazing people, every last one of you.
It is probably best if you drop Joli a message directly because she can give you the details for where you need to pay the sponsorship money.
Thanks to you all again, and happy day after christmas day:D
A friend of mine just linked this with the comment "This is what happens when you mix Disney and France." *sob*

maybe I'm just a little hungover... but i WANT that.
Right effin' now, in my mouth.
*drools*
Holy shit, be you serious?! You must have the hangover from hell!
if there's something wrong with me, then I don't WANT to be right.
Ever.
How the hell would you even hold it? The cheese and sauce would get all over your fingers!
If all presence of cheese was eliminated, I might touch that.
Unless, of course, Disney and France really are involved, in which case I would point and laugh at anyone imbibing such a revolting abomination.
I especially love the Bermuda Triangle explanation on this and the illustration of it is the best I have ever seen to describe the phenomenon:D

Still giggling!
I know I haven't updated this for ages, I have been pretty tired and my weight actually went up for a while when I was in hospital, and frankly that shit is embarrassing.
Currently the scales are moving in the good direction and I am at 257lbs at the moment. I am kind of hoping against all hope to make 250 by christmas just so I can show my face. Still 20lbs short but dammit, circumstances have shat all over me this year!
I am considering doing another one to make up for it, 50lbs by my birthday in may (if I have not pushed the realms of peoples support by now)
Sorry for the failure on this, I really did try.

I am in for the long haul. I support you.
You have no idea how much that means to me, thank you for having faith in me. It blows me away:)
I'm good to follow you until your birthday. I believe in you. It's not failure, just an obstacle to get past and you WILL!
I mailed your cookbook today! :)
Wheee! Yay for cookbook! I hope you signed all over it:D
You gave it a go - it's not failure, it's just setbacks...
...stay on course, you will get there.
Tell us what your total amount lost is and I will still donate. Less the negative for my own contribution... see, I think I actually gained weight.
And I don't even have an health issues aside from being a lazy ass and liking food way too much...
...*sigh*
I know I will get there in the end, I just wish that I had not had the setbacks I had when it counted so much. At least I am having this spurt towards christmas so it isn't complete omnifail:)
Don't worry too much about your lack of weightloss, I figure everything happens for a reason. It will work out when the time is right:)
I know a lot of people will be thinking this is scary, but imagine the diagnostic help this would give in hospitals! Also it is just plain cool:D

Congrats! I will gladly donate my contribution for your hard work.
It isn't even a semi-faliure. Your goals still remain, you're just going to take a bit longer to get there. Regardless, I know I'm proud of you for your efforts as I'm sure everyone else here is.

Thank you all! I feel so much less of a failure for your warming comments:) I am SO glad I didn't end up gaining. That would have been a bit of a tragedy:P

You are a cruel, cruel person. How could you do this to my wallet? What did it ever do to you? :(

I think that this is amazing. And you know what? I feel inches are more important in regards to the way I feel, and the way my clothes fit, than pounds are.
Congrats to you, and your money raised!
