My After Pic, But Not Really

So here we are..........14 weeks after our weight loss challenge at work. I managed to lose 32 lbs!! A few months ago i posted a before pic. Something i had never done in the past. So here is my after pic, but not really because i still NEED lose more pounds to be at a healthy weight. I kinda feel comfortable in this size & weight, since my hunny loves my curves ;) BUT i must push myself a little more. Therefore, this will be my in between pic :) That's all for now.

P.S. A special thanks to my lil photographer Adrian Ethan :) Love you baby!

It's a challenge, not a contest!

May 20, 2011 - Several of us at work decided to weigh in and begin a weight loss challenge @ work. It started off with just 2 of us, by the end of the day, the entire staff of 10 had joined the challenge. As more joined, the $$ pot grew larger :)

1. Everyone set an attainable & reasonable goal that could be reached within 14 weeks.
2. We will be paying $5 per week.
3. We will be weighing in every Friday. (Thank God we are not weighing in on Mondays, those are BAD days to weight in, VERY BAD! lol)
4. IF we gain weight, from the previous week, we will have to pay an additional $5 for the week!
5. This is so exciting! Weight loss goals range from 7 lbs to 20 pounds!

If no one gains weight, the ending pot will be $700!!! But of course, if we gain, the pot will be larger. Then again, there could be several winners. Anyone who reaches or goes under their goal, will be a WINNER!! At which point, we will split the pot.

I would love to by myself some "Miss Me Jeans." (Of course, only if they will look good with my boots) If not, i spotted some blinged out jeans @ Cavender's also :)

1st week of weighs went great!! WE ALL LOST WEIGHT! Ok, so let me brag, i lost the most!! We'll see how this all turns out. I'll keep ya posted!! Good luck to us all!!

I can't wait to post pics on August 26, the last weigh in date :)

How About A Before & After? UGHHHH

I've never dared post a "before" pic before I begin my journey...my weight loss journey. I always say that I will post one once I've reached my goal (which i NEVER do!! Grrr & GRRR). Because that way I'll have something nice to compare it to :) But how about if I try reverse psychology on myself? I'm going to try & find a decent "before" pic....BRB....

Oh my gosh, am I really going to go through with this? Posting the pic? Yeah, I am, I've thought about it, I am going to post a half body one. Later on I will post the full body one, ugh & ugh!!

There it is, I did it! I want to keep better record of my progress.

I am going on 2 weeks that I've been watching my diet. I've gone out there to walk and believe it or not, I am feeling better. 1st and foremost, I'm doing this for my health. 2ndly, I want to tuck in my shirt and feel comfortable. I also want to wear a nice blingy belt ;) 3rdly, I want to look PHAT for my man. Although he tells me I'm already PHAT. I believe him, but still, for ME!!

Cheers to me!! I'm am going to post comments on my post often. You know, of what's going though my head. What I ate that was bad, I mean good. Etc, etc.......

I can't wait to wear all that darn clothes I've bought in smaller sizes that I'VE NEVER WORN!!! They all still have the tags. Que barbarra! I don't plan to do that ever again! I will only buy sizes that fit me RIGHT NOW!! There's one blue jean dress that is my goal. Can't wait!!!!

I just want to flip the switch....and LOCK it!

From time to time I am able to switch the will power ON!! Willpower to be healthier and exercise. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that it is a better life style to be a healthier individual. So WHY don't I do what it takes? That is the question! I am fortunate enough to know the secret ( i know it's hard to believe...hehe). Lots of people don't know how or what to do to lose weight. Or just don't think it is possible. I KNOW it is possible, yet I don't roll out my plan.

I've started to walk with a friend. I told her that hopefully my brain & stomach & mouth will follow the routine as well. I get to a point that I wish I could be taking pills or something! I know they are horrible! Don't worry family & friends, I wouldn't dare do that. I've heard too many horror stories with them pills. Besides, my husband would kill me if I'd pop any of those things into my system.

I am writing about this in search of that darn switch..... I know i can!

I hit 30......

I am so proud of myself!!! Today I hit 30....30 pounds lost. Where did I lose them? I don't know (well, I kinda do), but I surely do not ever want to find them again!!! HOORAY! I hope I keep losing them somewhere & wherever!
