200.6lbs!!!

I'm so close!!!! I'm almost there!! I have lost since July 1st 66.2 lbs. I have 3.8lbs to go.

Its been a struggle. At least these last handful of pounds have been. The first 60 were a lot easier to lose than I thought they would be before i started. Ofcourse there have been the temptations all around.

These last few days I was traveling on the road with an improv group. I bought some healthier snacks for me to bring along the way so I would be stuck or have to buy out of a machine or something. I was able to get a couple salads and some raisin bran. I did have a big breakfast one day with bacon, eggs and potato chunks. It wasnt even that good. but it was free from the hotel.

I steered clear of sodas, beer, hamburgers. We even went Arby's one day and I had a salad. Not a lot to choose from on the Arby's menu in terms of healthy choices. But I found a salad and it wasnt bad.

I'm excited about getting to my final goal so that I can then concentrate fully on the next goal and thats the marathon runs and making the documentary.

Big thanks to new sponsor
Alana Poma - .25/lb
Deborah Ann Woll - $10/lb
I lost track of a sponsor or two somewhere. Hopefully they'll remember who they are. But that is $1.42/lb (i'll pay it just in case.)

Bringing the total to

$176.38/lb!!!!!

Which is over $12,000!!!!!

I'd still like to get to $200/lb though. There's still time. C'mon people!!!!


Remember you can donate to the cause at
www.curechm.org
There's a PayPal button there. When people donate via "PayPal", on the 2nd page, left hand side is a link titled, "Donation Directed Towards". Clicking on that link opens a text box where you can type in what the donation for. Hopefully everyone that says they'll donate will remember to and not procrastinate (sometimes that happens).

Thank you so much everybody!!!! This has been really inspiring to me. I hope some of it has rubbed off on you. Much love.

204.0 lbs!!

Having trouble with these last 10lbs. they are being more difficult than any other of the pounds. ive cut out most starchy foods until i get rid of them. I have to get down to 196.8 lbs. Thats the goal. its just really frustrating that the weight was falling off of me so easily before but now its so much harder.

Ive started training for a marathon for October. Basically Im only doing treadmill stuff right now and a couple of yoga classes. I really want these last 7.2 lbs off in the next 4 weeks. by march i want it to be done!

I'm very proud of the accomplishments Ive made so far and Im getting a lot of nice feedback. But I want people to pay off the donations they have promised so i can see how much this weight loss has brought in for the Choroideremia Research Foundation.

Couple new sponsors..

Lisa Linke - $2/lb
Jennifer Estlin - adding $1/lb to her donation.
Tami Sagher added $6/lb

$164.71 /lb total.

I'm still trying to get up to $200/lb. Thatd be amazing.

If youve pledged please go to ..

www.curechm.org

You can pay on Paypal. And please say that its for EJs weightloss. (I think they send you an email asking if youd like to donate in someones name.)

Thank you all so much for supporting me. Much love.
