Today was the final weigh in for the Biggest Loser competition at my work. I was discouraged last week from dropping to 3rd after 2 guys were starvation-dieting to get to first... that I resolved this week would be my best week, and I gave it everything I had! Ate the best I've ever eating, no cheats, and went to the gym and did my Zumba faithfully! Happy to report that my efforts paid off, as I lost 6.4 lbs this week, for a total of 32.2 lbs total! :happy:

Winners for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be announced tomorrow, and I can't wait to see where I end up!

Hard for me to believe that I've lost the size of my 2 year old in the past 2 & 1/2 months! But I am so happy I did. When I started this competition, it was basically for the $570 1st place prize, but as I went along, and especially since finding MFP, I have learned that it's not about a 'diet' it's about making better decisions and lifestyle changes. I intend to keep this up, and instead of saying "It would be nice to be thin" and thinking it's unrealistic, I'm going to work at it until I get there and I'm saying "It IS nice to be thin and in shape!"

Thank you all for your support, it truley helps. Feel free to add me if you are reading this.

I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me!

    Even if you don't come in first this week, you've worked incredibly hard and it is paying off! Good on you for not doing the starvation thing. That may work in the short run, but it's gonna come back and bite them in one way or another (probably more than one way) in the end.

    Well done, and remember it doesn't matter where you finish, as long as you finish strong and you did. You did it the right way. The men who starved themselves will gain it all back in a couple weeks and you'll still be a hotty who was able to lose 30+ pounds the right way. So, hold your head high knowing you did it right. Congrats!
