Kim! You look GREAT in these pics! Did your "Things I'm Afraid To Tell You" post spark some inner confidence? Whatever it is, it's showing!

Kelly: I've heard other people say that the Olay version is just as good. I'm so cheap, that may be what I end up buying.

I hear you on the blonde hair, haha!

It's never too late to chime in. Thanks for letting me know what you use, especially since you're fair & have sensitive skin, too.

I know I'm chiming in a little late here, but I've got the Olay version of the Clarisonic and I was AMAZED at how well it cleaned my face. My pores are so much less noticeable now. Also, I use Therapy Systems Glycolic lotion (sensitive skin version) for the exfoliation and moisture and I love it. My skin is on the oily side though. AND I'm also noticing random hairs on my face that are longer than the others. Thank god I've got blonde hair.

Marne! I'm so glad you weighed in, pun intended. You're my weight/body role model. You look so good all the time & you're so GD athletic. I'd feel better about my weight if I were a triathlon & an Ironman like you (& Julie). You're a constant reminder that the number on the scale doesn't matter.

2012-05-14T21:07:01.731-05:00

I'm a week late but...I have lead bones too! Even had an orthopedic doctor shocked by how dense mine are. I weigh around 175 and totally understand how you feel. I always feel like "the big" girl as the tallest and heaviest in the crowd which I know isn't true but it's hard not to think it. The silver lining of bones made of concrete is that we probably won't get osteoporosis...so there's that. You are one of the funniest people I know and are kicking butt out there running, yogaing, and having the most fun of everyone out there. We have to stick together because when it comes down to it...if the world was coming to an end it would be us sturdy girls clearing the path. :)

Ginger: thanks! And right back at you! Your blog is & continues to be an inspiration in regards to pulling the curtain back on all kinds of things. Keep up the good fight!

Mom: thanks for the perspective, although I was hoping that you would tell me that everyone in our family does in fact have lead bones. Oh well... Ha!

Hot Koh Koh: thank you! You're right, we need to keep reminding ourselves of what our bodies do for us. In you case, completing an Iron Man, which is NUTS!

One of the hardest things about the internet in general is the facade it presents. Heck, one of the hardest things about life. I love that you pulled the curtain back. Brava!

Can we hang out and make ice cream ASAP? I meant to tell you how much I loved this post, but it completely slipped my mind. LOVED it. Thank you for sharing.

You are a super smart, brave, and confident woman. For someone who "has weight issues," posting about it and posting your weight is kind of the bravest thing I can think of. Love your honesty and appreciate your friendship.
