My Picks For the Cherry On Top Award


I'm passing along the Cherry On Top award to 5 bloggers who I think add that little something extra to their blog. It's my hope that they'll in turn hand it out to 5 bloggers that they think are awesome, too. Here they are (in no particular order):

Maggie at I'm losing it...
Maggie is on a quest to lose over 150 pounds and you want to know how many she's lost so far? ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR. I'm not kidding. This woman oozes inspiration. She had a goal and is sticking with it, even on days she doesn't feel like it. I always enjoy reading her posts and seeing updated pictures of her weight loss journey.

Shannon at Even A Pig Knows When They've Had Enough!
I read Shannon's blog because she's real life. She and her husband are raising oodles of kids yet she still finds time to get her fitness on. I'm so pleased that she's back after a long (and painful) hiatus!

Charlie at Operation Shrink Charlie's Big Butt
I'm finding Charlie's humor something I look forward to each day. She (like the rest of the world) faces obstacles and roadblocks. But Charlie uses her faith and humor to guide her which I think is an awesome combination. She's damn near the 70 pounds lost mark and I'm so excited for her! Thanks to her I now use the phrase "Clorox Wipe" as a verb.

Pam at Plump Nonfiction
I'm fairly new to Pam's blog but she is rockin' the Weight Watchers plan hardcore and is making it sound more and more appealing to me. So appealing in fact, that I'm thinking about seriously considering going to sign up for the online program on Monday. Because I'm new to her blog I've been taking my time reading her past posts. What I love the most is the enthusiasm!

Andrew at 100 Pounds
Like me, Andrew's staring down 100 pounds that he's got to lose. He's more than halfway there. I like his wit and humor as well. I also like that he's linked through Facebook so that I don't miss any new posts! Andrew doesn't seem afraid of his goals and is just going for them. It's very fascinating for me to see a guy who has the same goal as me and how he's going about reaching it.

There are many other blogs that I read but these 5 were the ones I felt I needed to give an award to. Their posts are awesome and often pick me up on my "down" days. Thanks to all of you and please pass on the love!

    Thanks for the award! I'll pass it on after my world gets a tad less crazy. (The way it stands now, I'm penciling it in around 2015. ;)

    Fingers crossed I will hit 70 lost by Saturday! And seriously, I'm so grateful (greatful?) for our new friendship! Totally digging it!
