Just checking in...

Hi all! Just checking in! I have been very busy here in Korea and my weight is not bad! I am plateaued at the minute at about 148... so I am down 156lbs roughly... I hope to lose 4 more pounds for a grand total of 160 lost! My band is serving me well here!

 

It's bitter cold here and hard to get myself to the gym... I talk myself out of it every day... BUT I do go dancing on the weekends still so that's good at least. I was running every day in the summer ... so I have to get myself back on track.

 Here's a photo of me... sorry it's so big... I didn't have time to edit it (at work).

 

 

And in case someone doesn't know me BEFORE...

 

 

You look amazing!!! Can't wait to see you in person, hopefully soon. I feel I have been slipping lately and need to get back on track myself. Working out is going great, just not eating well.

Elena,

I can't wait to see you when you come home......We have to go out dancing or do something fun.....You look amazing....And you past me up on weight...:)
Love you, Kel

Elena:

Where exactly do you expect those last 4 pounds to come from?  You look like you don't have another ounce to lose.  Seriously.  You have done a spectacular job with your band and with yor life!!

Yup, I remember the "before" Elena.  I remember the Elena who PRAYED to get down to 185.  You are a poster child for the band, that's a fact.  I'm glad this whole Korean adventure has been so good for you on so many levels.

For anyone and everyone *****ads this post, Elena will be in town between Christmas and New Years.  We had a bit of a conversation a day ago, and she is saving Wednesday, December 29th for a get together with her Minnesota peeps!

Please mark that date on your calendar to join us at McCoys in St. Louis Park - I'll post details closer to the date, but for everyone who has joined us for our previous get-togethers there, you KNOW what a good time will be had! 

And E, you should probably wear some armor that night.  You're BOUND to be squished to within an inch of your life!!!

Elena...I knew you when you first began on OH. Loved you then and love you now!

Sure hope to see you when you are in MN.

You look just amazing....I am so proud of you!!

Hugs.....connie d

You look amazing and have done an awesome job! Now I have to catch up to your lil skinny butt.. I remember when we were the same weight! You're inspiration to so many!  Can't wait to meet you at the get together!

You do look great, Elena.  And you are missed!  I'm glad to see your post and know your trip home will go FAST!!!  Then you'll be home for good soon after, right??

Take care and keep working it - you're inspiring, as usual.

That is soooo funny!  Something made me think of you today and wondered when you were coming home and I got on the board and there you were!

I'd love to join in on Dec 29th!  You look fabulous!  I've changed a bit myself LOL!  I met you when my brother Kevin and I were just starting on our jouney after surgery.

Keep us posted as to plans as they firm up! 

I agree with RP, not sure where you think the 4 lbs would come from!  I think you look FABU as is!
