This is a SHOUT OUT......to my favorite floozie (as a matter of fact the only self- professed floozie I know.....my good friend Flip Flop (aka Sandy).

Sandy has been going through a really down time lately and occasionally forgets how special she really is to all of us who know her.

She recently did her count down of blessings and this was one of her entries!

"I am blessed with having lost 25 lbs. and 30 inches...lets not forget that!!"

Since this is my weight loss blog, I believe in celebrating life and applauding each other's victories. Weight loss may be a million dollar business but it is also a very long lonely personal journey. This journey has many set-backs and disappointments along the way and it is easy to get distracted or even quit. It is so encouraging to have cheerleaders and (butt-kickers) along the way to cheer us on or draw from their strength when ours have been depleated.

So the "Smelly Sneakers Award" goes to Flip Flop Floozie for her faithfulness in going to curves and for her incredible shrinking figure. You Go Girl.....You have always been my hero.
