Hi friends. I just wanted to stop in to encourage you guys to head over to the Shrinking Jeans website to vote for my Mom. Shrinking Jeans had a really cool weight loss challenge called “Shrinkvivor.” I have watched my Mom make the decision to join the challenge and have watched her dedicate herself to losing weight. She has done such an amazing job. I’ve also literally watch the weight melt off of her as she exercised every single day and watched everything she ate. She has worked so hard to get to this point.
Anyway, if you could, maybe head over and vote for Mary on the sidebar? (you can vote everyday until Wednesday.)
She honestly deserves this. I’m so proud of her.
(also, you can go to her blog and see the video she produced talking about the challenge. It’s quite inspiring.)

























Please vote for Mary! She is so awesome and has worked so hard. If you see her vlog and read her blog, she’ll inspire you to. Thanks.
I know I shouldn’t reveal who I voted for, because I think ALL of the final 7 deserve to win, BUT I gave your mom my first vote- I loved her video and I love how hard she has worked : ).
How awesome is your mom!!! Congrats to her! Heading over to vote!
I love your mom!
Go Mary! I voted for your mom and then I was watching her vlog and I found it very inspiring. I know what she means about the things that she kept thinking about, a challenge for anyone trying to go the opposite way on the scale. I was wondering…is that your sweet little Eli we can hear in the background???
Thank you for your blog. I love it! It always brightens my day
Oh, thank you, Summer! That is really sweet of you.
Yes, that’s my Eli, we did the video at my house and Eli wasn’t very happy about it, apparently!
Beth, thank you so much! You’re way to generous but I’m very grateful! You are SUCH a good daughter!!!
I love that you called your mom a superhero and that she said she “cheated” by asking God to help her be the best she could be!
She has my vote.
she says “stoked, awesome & she cheated by praying!” i TOTALLY voted for her.
I voted for your mom!
Hi Beth,
I voted for your Mom. I hope she wins.
i agree we do need to keep some privacy in blogland sometimes, and i wish u and your family all the best for your son’s surgery
