    I want to join I will take pics and weigh tomorrow. My scale is broken and thought I couldnt get a weight until I just thought of my wii fit. I will get on it in the morning to get first weigh in. I dont have any clothes I want to wear for christmas so I will just take pics and post. My goal is to actually workout 5 days a week without skipping.

    Here's a rare picture of me... I don't like being in pictures... I just hate it... I had to be in this one since it was my daughter's First Communion... This is the most recent one I have... (May 2010) I was about the same weight that I am now... I will try to take a more recent one real soon...(even if I don't like it at all!!!):ohwell:

    People come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and that's ok. It angers me to realize that I'm starting feel differently about my body.

    ^ This.

    Stacy, while I'd love to see you post your pics, I respect your decision not to. Statement about people being different shapes and sizes is beyond true, and we often forget that. I wish you could still see yourself in a confident and self-assured light, because I think you're gorgeous and a wonderful, friendly, and supportive person.

    Thank you so much, Pink! Girl, you're such a sweet heart! :D *hugs*

    Yeah, I hope that my self confidence and body confidence comes back to full swing. It's a little odd feeling so self conscious about my body. I'm not used to it. lol I'm sure once I get my head back in the right space I will have my confidence back. :) I just need to figure some stuff out.

    Thanks again for the support, my friend! You're an angel! <3

    Welcome to all that are just now joining.. NO you are not late, you are NEVER too late to join in on my challenges..

    This impressive, how many people who are in on this already.. Everyone feel free to spread the word and get your friends to join in.. :) Lets see how we can make this challenge rock!! :)

    Its been a crazy couple days for me. Hoping to get myself back on track tomorrow. I have been bad lately. Been just outta wack.. :( But it happens I guess. Gotta get that weight back off that ive gained that i lost in the first challenge.. I hope I can make it to the 289 again, and lost 12 pounds ontop of that by Christmas.. :) Wish me luck ladies. I gotta get serious about this. I just say im going to do this, then i do it and i get bored and stop.. I cant be doing that.. Ontop of everything TOM is running late. Again. we will see how that goes. ;)

    You don't need luck, sweetie! You know the formula and you know what works! No luck required. heheh :) Just some patience with yourself and the love of being healthier and happier. You can do this, my friend!

    Ok I'm going to quit being a big baby and post a photo. Here's a pic of me taken tonight at 323 lbs next to a photo of me at my ALMOST start weight (I had already dropped 9 lbs though when I took the pic). So, 53 lbs difference.

    So the one on the left is me at the start of this challenge. I seriously doubt there will be any visible difference at the end of the challenge but you never know. lol

    PS I had to tie my shirt behind my back for this photo because it is so big on me now. lol I probably should have worn the same outfit for both shots that way you could see more of a difference. Oh well, maybe next time.

    Stacy! I'm so proud of you for posting the photo! I think you look fantastic and I never want to see you lose your scintillating confidence ever again. Y'hear me?!

    Stacy you are BEAUTIFUL! I'm so proud of you for posting your picture as well!! Keep ypur confidence chicky, you look GREAT!!!

    Update on things again, I know I know, I post this stuff way too much, but I think of many of you as family.

    Grandpa is NOT well enough to attend services this weekend and the doctors are giving him 3-6weeks before he joins his wife again. I am really trying to see the positive in all this but it's so hard. I hope to say next time that the doctors were wrong, but at this point, I doubt it. I just want Grandpa to be comfortable and in no pain. But I know what that will mean. *hugs* all, I'll be off for much of the day.

    Stacy, you look great, I totally can see the difference, and as much as I loved the red hair, I think the blond suites you better. Anyway, you are looking awesome!

    Trendely, who said you could steal my dog and put her in your avatar? How dare you! :tongue: Even though I think our puppies are different breeds (I have a Lhasa Apso), they look quite similar! I've got photos on my Wickett in my album if you wanna see your dog's doppelganger.

    Welcome to the group!

    I am so slow! I was wondering where this was. I will post my pic soon. Working all week...not a lot of time. Maybe I will get my daughter to take one for me. Will definitely need help posting though.
    My goal is to get back to exercising. I have been slacking. I started this journey earlier in the year and stayed focused for awhile...now I am waning.
    Good luck everyone!

    Yay! Welcome back to being on track! :D It's good to have the group leader back!

    By the way, have you tried diet 7UP and diet Sierra Mist? Both are yummy (IMO). :) Also if you like that lemon-lime flavor have you tried making your own lemonade with some Splenda and fresh squeezed lemons or limes? It's very good!
