Those books are HEAVY!!!!:)

 

Okay… so I’m feeling pretty damn good about myself. This week, I lost 3 lbs:DUhm… That’s NINE FREEKIN’ LBS LOST!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! OHHHH MYYYY GOSHHHHH!!!!!!

When we visited Lauren on Wednesday, she said that my face was looking thinner. I don’t see any difference yet… but WOWZERS…NINE POUNDS!!! YEAHHH!!!!

As ALLLLL of you already know, Heather Cole is my weight loss buddy… which I encourage you ALL to do! It’s SO great calling her up when I’m down in the dumps about having to go out to eat and then getting WAY overly depressed about it when I get home…. she picks me RIGHT back up. And just an FYI… HEATHER COLE IS A SKINNY BETTY!!!!! She lost 2.9 lbs this week:)Go check out her blog to see how she’s doing it. Oh, and be sure to tell her how SPICY she is;)

I’m SOOOO incredibly proud of EVERY single one of you for signing on to this healthier lifestyle thing with us. You guys keep me motivated and excited about losing weight. I know that some of you are looking at the “weight” photos that I post here every Friday here for inspiration, I won’t lie… it’ s a bit of pressure BUT… it inspires me to keep working hard at losing weight.

One thing that I did notice… some of you who are talking about your weight loss here are referring to it as “ONLY one pound” or “a measly two pounds…” or “I didn’t lose ANYTHING!:(” And shut that up! That’s a pound you didn’t gain. Be proud of it! Here’s my favorite comment from last week, “I only lost 1 pound. Doesn’t seem like much until I tried to picture what 4 quarter-pounders would look plastered in odd places on my body…then it seemed like A LOT! That visualization was because of YOU Bobbi! I didn’t take a photo of any burgers but I think you get the idea.” I think that comment sums it ALLLLLLL up! So, work it out you guys!!!!!:D

And here’s our list of the participants. If someone didn’t report their weight loss last week, I assumed they didn’t want to be listed… so I simply removed their name:)No biggie. If you EVER want to join us, it’s never too late. You can join any time! (just comment below):D

Keep up the good work team!

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Uhm… the title says it all… ARE YOU FREEKIN’ KIDDING ME WITH THIS HOTTIE McHOTTERSON?! She knew how to WORK it OUT!

I asked her about halfway through the session of she was wearing false eyelashes… NOPE! Those are alllll her. GORGEOUS!

You sure can’t tell by looking at these photos that I had JUST met her THAT morning. Sure… we’ve been communicating via email for months about this session… but, it’s just not the same. By the end of the shoot it was as though we had been friends for years. She had me CRACKING up the entire time!

For most… it’s Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, George Michael, etc that gets them in sexy mode. Which we listened to… then BAM all of a sudden I busted out my iPod and switched it up to Damian Rice, Dave Matthews Band, David Gray and WHOA… someone had sprinkled sexy dust on that house because it couldn’t have gottany ANY HOTTER!:D

On a COMPLETELY side note… in their study room, I noticed LOTS of books that my husband would DIE for. If we lived in GR… our smarty pants husbands would be smarty best friends:)I’m SURE of it! HA!

She took these as a gift (in an album form) to give to her husband on their first anniversary… I cannot WAIT to know his reaction! Knowing that we shot the entire session in their house… he’s gonna FLIP OUT!

It was SO fab to finally meet you L.:)LOVE!

PS SOOOO much of these sessions are about being comfortable. As many of you already know… I show up to these sorts of things in my comfy pajamas. I know that may sound weird… but COME ON…. If I’m taking photos of a half naked girl… why the heck should I be lookin’ all pretty. I would HATE to intimidate anyone by my beauty anyway (KIDDING!) ANYHOW… I’ll usually spend the first 30 minutes just talking… figuring out what you’re going to wear… looking around the house for some fun locations… busting out the iPod… etc… Just thought I’d let you know!

PPS Yes… she told me I could put a few up on the blog…:)

PPPS Does ANYONE have a better term for this than “boudoir”?! It sound so pretentious to me. So, if you have ANY suggestions, please let me know )
