Down 61# Pics-bra and underwear...sorry

I began my journey on January 11, 2011. I was in a "Phattest Loser" contest. $10 month for weigh in...at the end of 5 months, the winner gets the pot. Sounded like a good incentive to me.
There were monthly weigh ins each month. I didn't win the first month, but I was a week behind everyone else as I didn't start when they did, so I had 1 week less time at it than they all did. I did win the second month and the fourth. The prizes those months were a 60 minute massage and 5 Pilates classes and a 60 minute massage and 4 personal training sessions. I kept my fingers crossed and busted my butt, and managed to win the entire contest and the pot of $1035. So, for my entry fee of $60, I lost 60 pounds and made out like a bandit.
I'm at a bit of a plateau now. I'm not sure if it's because I don't have enough incentive, so I am posting these pics to encourage myself to keep going and meet my ultimate goal.

I'm not brave. I'm proud of myself. I know I haven't met my goal, but I plan to. Being honest with myself was the first step. I did that by being honest on this site.

Nice! That's impressive. Treasure this moment and resolve to never be the person you were before you started your journey. You really have a lot to be proud of! I bet you can do things that were simply next to physically impossible for you before your weight loss.0
