Sara and Holly
Welcome friends, family, fellow-dieters, and weirdos of the internet! This is our blog. We are Holly and Sara, best friends who’ve shared many things over the years, including a love of cake and a desire to be thin & healthy. Right now you are wondering if we realize that those two things might be mutually exclusive. We do realize this and we choose to ignore it, (as we will ignore you if you continue with the alarming and hurtful observations.) We have both dabbled in thinness before and have found it to be most pleasant—almost as pleasant as cake. This blog will be devoted, for the most part, to the pursuit of achieving and maintaining thinness (and good health—of course good health) forevermore. We may throw in a few tidbits about our families (they are thin AND healthy), cake, things that stick in our craws, cake, stuff we want to buy, cake, and profound observations about the world (and cake). Feel free to read, learn, and post your intelligent, helpful, non-threatening comments.

Yeah, you and Sara are almost as scary as that picture of the braces. Except you both are oh so pretty. :)
P.S. I've been snarfing on lots of forbidden food this week...but I walked AND ran with Kaylee (our dog) to mail my Netflix DVD yesterday. So maybe that will help even things out?!
I am doing two classes at the gym tonight in preparation!
I just peeled off my dying baby toenail. That's gotta count for something...and I'm going power shopping tonight. Burn baby burn!!!
I'm a little freaked out about my chance of LOOOOSSSSIIIINNNGG weight! It's sooo not going to happen. Not with my daughters birthday party, 4 christmas parties and my mother-in-law coming for a week!!!
I went on THREE walks today. Thanks for the pep talk to quit snarfing on everything in sight, Holly. It kind of helped. Let's just say I snarfed LESS today. ;)
Wendi-Less snarfing, more walking!
dc-wow! Last chance workout! I've done a lot of...uh...sitting.
joolee-that baby toenail has to be good for at least an eighth of an ounce. and...ew!
RR-don't freak! Even with stuff going on, it is possible. Really! (I'm talking myself into this, too)
