And the winner is....





That says Diane. I typed up the names of everyone who commented and put them in a bowl and my son Devon chose this one. It pays to de-lurk! I love that Diane won! She commented yesterday and I went over to her blog and found out some amazing things about her! You should all click over and check her out!

Diane, e-mail me at jolene593 (at) msn (dot) com and send me your mailing address and I will send you the gift card! OR come to lunch at Costa Vida on Friday!! It would be fun to meet you!

I want to announce another win - a small personal victory. I hit the 40 pounds lost today! I was so happy! And no, I did not go to In-N-Out to celebrate - I came home and ate a salad with chicken breast and homemade hummus. I am saving my extra calories for Friday! This is all going to sound so silly I know but I feel like I have a waist again. I can put my hands on my hips and feel hips - not just stomach. I'm loving it!

I'm thinking about buying this dress as a reward or maybe this one (it is quite a bit cheaper). I don't typically wear a lot of prints but I really like this one and this one. The good thing is - I know what shoes I would wear with each one - I just can't decide. Please vote!

Congrats on the 4o lbs. I want the recipe for your hummus. I Love BFG's Hummus and tried making my own but YUCK. So please share your recipe with me.

And my pick for the dress would be #4. I do like #s 1 & 3 but definitely not #2. Solid color lightweight fabrics tend to show the unflattering things we are trying to hide! I always grab something like that at the store to try on and then my self esteem is shot afterwards. Good luck!

I love #1 and #4. There's not many things that are better than a great black dress. But I love the colors of the last one. Congrats!!

They are all cute, I like #4 the best. I like that website, I may go back and look through it. It has been fun visiting your blog lately! Way to go on losing weight! See you tonight. I have a few more pages to read in that book!! :)

Ok I REALLY love the first one, but if it's too pricey I also like the yellow and brown one. (I think it's the 4th one.) And way to go on the 40lbs. Wow!

Way to go! You are an inspiration to those of us who are still hanging to the rear ends! Happy Birthday! I a bringing ya something later! Enjoy your big day!

You look fantastic Jolene- way to go!! Your blog looks great too... it's been awhile since I've visited blogs.You should've announced this at our book club on Wed., we could've done a little victory dance - it could have been just like camp! :)

Oh... and Happy Birthday my friend! See you later today!

Dangit. I missed the giveaway and your party (party might still be going on as I comment). Going out of town with no computer is a bad idea.

BTW, you are looking GOOD and FOXY! INNOUT burgers aren't so bad for you if you don't eat the fries. I plan one a week. Your weight loss has inspired me. I have lost 7 pounds! (I thought 10 would be good, but turns out my skinny pants still don't fit, so I need to keep going. I was apparently chubbier than I suspected.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Can't wait to see you in either hot dress #'s 1,2,3 or 4. You deserve all of them. Hope your day is fun filled yet relaxing. (haha)

Happy Happy Birthday, Hope your "last" birthday is amazing! I know Costa Vidas was great. I love that place.
