Sexy in Six Round 2 ***closed group*** Week 3

Impromptu Wednesday QOTD: Is there a person in your life who has inspired you to lose weight? Either someone who has lost weight themself, or someone who has developed weight related health issues?

Sorry for being behind! Two of my best friends who were just as sick as me for just as long, both of whom i was in treatment with multiple times. One of them has a beautiful family of 3 children and a loving husband and has recovered completely and leads such a happy life. And even more so, the closer of the two friends who we really never knew if she'd pull out of it. Not only did she come out of it but she just gave birth to her first absolutely gorgeous baby girl and loves the life she leads. I don't concentrate on their weight. I just know that they are healthy and happy that's so much of what i want.

That being said, i will be honest and say that i am my biggest inspiration because of what i have been through in the past. I messed with my body for so long, going in and out of recovery from my eating disorder, and now I just want to want to love what i see in the mirror. i've learned to be pretty ok with myself no matter what but that's not good enough- i want to be able to feel PROUD when I get dressed and take pictures and see my reflection.

My other motivaton is my fiancee, Jon. He loves me so much, and i know it truly is that love where it doesn't matter what i look like- he will always love me. Because of that, i want to look and feel good for him. Having ahigher self-esteem definitely makes our relationship better and i know his favorite visual of me was in a paricular bikini at a particular time, when we first started dating. i can't wait to put that bathing suit on and make him faint!

2nd QOTD for Wednesday: Is there a song, movie, poem, or painting that has inpired you in your weight goal quest?

I REALLY like this question but I'm going to have to think. I will most certainly come back with my answer later. can't wait to see Thursday QOTD!

Keep going, you awesome, sexy ladies. This is OUR time to shine!

When I walk on by, girls be looking like damn he fly I pay to the beat, walking on the street in my new lafreak, yeah This is how I roll, animal print, pants out control, It's real fool with the big afro They like Bruce lee rock at the club.
Girl look at that body (x3) I work out Girl look at that body (x3) I work out.
When I walk in the spot, this is what I see Everybody stops and they staring at me I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it.
I'm sexy and I know it (x2)
When I'm at the moss, purity just can't fight them off When I'm at the beach, I'm in a speedo trying to tan my cheeks. This is how I roll, come on ladies it's time to go We headed to the bar, baby don't be nervous.
No shoes, no shirt, and I still get service. [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/sexy-and-i-know-it-lyrics-lmfao.html ]
Girl look at that body (x3) I work out Girl look at that body (x3) I work out
When I walk in the spot, this is what I see Everybody stops and they staring at me I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it.
I'm sexy and I know it (x2)
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle yeah (x3)

Girl look at that body (x3) I work out Girl look at that body (x3) I work out I work out Girl look at that body (x3) I work out

Real Wednesday QOTD: Not really anything that has inspired me to lose weight, but when I'm working out I listen to Eminem, Nickelback, anything that has a hard beat to it.

canidoit11 - I love that song!!!!!! The first time I heard it I was with my DD14. I thought both of us were going to pee ourselves we were laughing so hard! And I was driving!

One of the poems I have haning the wall in my office is by Shel Silverstein

Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda

All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
Layin' in the sun,
Talkin' bout the things
They woulda-coulda-shoulda done....
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
All rany away and hid
From one little did.

It reminds me to do it instead of talk about it.

Impromptu Wednesday QOTD: Is there a person in your life who has inspired you to lose weight? Either someone who has lost weight themself, or someone who has developed weight related health issues

For me - I want to lose weight for myself! I want to feel sexy and beautiful again! I miss feeling like this and I know that the weight is what keeps me from feeling like that!

I am so sorry it took me this long to post the question. I had a really long day and just got back in from riding!! Sorry, sorry, sorry!!!

QOTD Thursday: I know weight loss takes up a lot time in our lives. What are some of the hobbies or activities you like to do outside of the gym in your spare time?

Love that woulda shoulda coulda poem, thanks for sharing!!!

I don't have a poem / movie / song, but i am inspired but an actress/singer...Jenifer Hudson! i have a pic of her from the Grammy's in a gorge versace dress on my wall at school!!

I'm in grad school so that takes up a lot of time! i usually use the rest to relax! watch tv, read mag-os, socialize with friends and family ect. I used to be an intramural bball team which was awesome, i would also consider biking a hobby, since it's not in the gym does it count? I also used to volunteer for stuff, in undergrad i ran a charitable organization which had two major events a year! When i finish school i would to volunteer again, learn a new language and take hip hop lessons!!!

QOTD Thursday: I know weight loss takes up a lot time in our lives. What are some of the hobbies or activities you like to do outside of the gym in your spare time?

Well, okay, I count Zumba as something I enjoy. I am really not someone who likes working out, but I totally love Zumba. Other than that, most of my time is spent with friends and family and/or church. I am a writer too. And, really MFP and weight loss related stuff is something I enjoy in some aspect. Oh, and I'm starting to date again and that's always fun . Actually, I was really hoping Fridays QOTD would already be posted since I don't know if I'll be around (due to tomorrow night's date :bigsmile: ).

THURSDAY QOTD: OTHER HOBBIES

love to sing and play piano. especially today after school. love having a keyboard in my room when i get frustrated and wanna quit teaching altogether, i just pull out my hymn book and have some Jesus and me time it reminds me of the gifts He's given me and how i've been called to share them with others.

i also love to watch movies from netflix. if i had the money, time, and calories i would sooo go to the movies every weekend and go all out with the popcorn/chocolate/ and drink. like the whole movie experience. fun fun fun

THursday QOTD: Hobbies & non weight loss related activities

I love to read. I enjoy worship flagging but haven't been able to do much since my wrist started givng me trouble, just starting to ease back into it now. Enjoy helping with Alpha and follow up studies. Also really enjoyed doing counted cross stitch before the werist stuff as well. I am not a particularly gifted singer, but I love to sing worship songs. I also enjoy my time in the car twhen I can sing to my hearts content when I listen to KLOVE or other good radion stations. Oh and I LOVE being with my 6 month old granddaughter!!

QOTD Thursday: I know weight loss takes up a lot time in our lives. What are some of the hobbies or activities you like to do outside of the gym in your spare time?

We're living in Germany right now so in my spare time- with my husband and son, on the weekends we like to go site seeing, go to all the festivals and the Xmas Bazaars.
During the week, while my husband is working, I like to wake up, catch up on some of my TV shows, then when my son gets up, I like to take him to the park or meet up with some of my friends.
I love to read, but since we moved here last November, I haven't opened a book. I think I might get back to that. I had my next book sitting there in line- "Desiree" , I guess I'll give ya'll an update next week if I opened it!
