Michele,
Thanks so much for keeping us on task last week for the nutrition presentation. I know that it was frustrating at times, but it seems so hard to get 5 people on the same page when everyone is sooooo busy. We did it though and I thought that it turned out well (except for me messing up while I was talking).
You are really doing a great job. Keep up the good work. The results are showing.
Holly
Michele,
Thanks so much for your hard work last week. I think our Dr. Oz thing went pretty well…even though we couldn’t all meet together. You kept very focused…Thank you:)
I hope you had a good day at work and then at home with the kids:)
I will see you bright and early….
Shannon
Michele, you are doing such a great job! Keep pushing yourself and you will continue to see the results. I can’t wait until the end when we all get to see how good we all look!

Thanks for making us really take have a flash back to the beginning of the contest. We have all come so far both physically and mentally. I am glad that we are all in this together. Keep up the good work and way to go!
Go Orange!
Holly
Michele,
YOU are great! I have enjoyed getting to know you. Thanks for all your support this week. See you bright n early! Meg
You’re looking so good! And it’s not just the outside, you’re confidence and personality have really started to shine. Keep up the hard work, you’re doing great!
I can see so many changes in you, not only in the fact that you are MUCH smaller, but I can tell you are getting back some confidence in yourself. That’s just wonderful to see. So happy for you!! Keep going!!
But remember who you are is not defined by a number on a scale, you are an amazing woman at any size!! (Just now you’re amazing and HOT!!)
Hi Friend, Thanks so much for you talk and advice tonight. I will say you make me see things differently than I would on my own, I am not sure if that is good or bad..LOL…You mean so much to me and I hate that our schedules are not matching up right now. I really do hope we will continue to be friends LONG after our contest is over. I know your words of wisdom.
Hugs,
Shannon
