I actually have 2 bets that I've made with regards to weight loss. The first was with my Mom.. She bet me $50 that she could lose 10 pounds faster than me. And although my Mom had a better chance at winning (she weighed more than me).. I still won!

I now have a bet with my friend Paige. A cheap dinner, movie and a realllllyyy good car detailing :)

___________________________

I weighed 158.6 pounds at Christmas.

I weighed 151.4 pounds when I began my 'bet' with Paige (January 2011),

I now weigh 145 pounds! :flowerforyou:


Haven't really noticed a loss in inches.. But I feel a bit different, and clothes don't quite fit the same. The plateau has been broken! Haha. I haven't weighed 145 pounds since I was at least 15 or 16! Yayyy!

    Update: I won the bet!

    I weighed in on Monday at 141.8 pounds. A total loss of 9.6 pounds in a little less than one month! Kassandra lost 6.5 pounds and Paige lost 3 pounds..

    I will enjoy the dinner, movie and car cleaning. Much needed :)
