I’m not sure what I’m trying to say but I’m feeling like it’s time for a brag post. Starting a new job and finishing my maternity leave has been really hard for me and still I have managed to lose weight. No excuses here. I’m 5 months into my healthy living/weight loss journey and I have lost 46 lbs. I never thought I could do this and I wish I could go back and tell my obese self to stop living in denial and start doing something for myself.
I have been a part of a biggest loser competition for the past 12 weeks and as of right now I am in first place. Wish me luck – I want to win some $$ to buy new clothes. The contest ends tomorrow and here are the results:
March 2, 2011 – 190.6 lbs
May 23, 2011 – 168.8 lbs
I didn’t intentionally try to look miserable in the first picture but it is fitting. Find the motivation to succeed – that is my challenge to all MFPers.
My motivation:
-My baby girl..it is not fair to expect kids to eat healthy and have a healthy weight if we as parents are not good role models. This is always in the back of my mind.
-Biggest loser competition
-My husband – to borrow the words from a friend of mine – I want to be trophy wife and I’m going to get there!
-My mother – she has yo yo dieted her whole adult life and I have no interest in doing the same thing. I will always think of my goals – getting to a healthy weight and maintaining. Exercise and I have become good friends.
Thanks for looking!

Congrats on a great job! So true that you dont want to do as your mother has.... she sounds like me and now I am at it again. In Nov 1998, I weighed 148 but in Jan 2011 I weighed 208. I had said in '98 "never again" but it happened. I am now down to 184 and hope I can keep at it and this time keep it off. I never expect to be a model at this age, just to be healthy. So good luck to you and keep at it every day---never lose your focus!0
