Souper Salad

I had a ton of fun last night. It was great meeting Patty and Becky. It's amazing to me how many sacrafices each of you make to make time for yourselves to get healthy. With family, and jobs, it's so nice to see how commited you all are. Kudos!.
Yeah, It is was pretty crazy that Patty knows my first flame and his wife. It was nice to hear he is happy and doing well! Small word, eh? It's really cool to see the connections we all have. Cool and a little weird!


Well, My goal shirt and pants fit. ( well, fit is stretching it a bit!) I could actually button up my shirt this time. I am thinking I need to get a different goal shirt now, since it will make me look pregnant no matter how much weight I lose.
Melissa presented me with our first monthy prize....110 dollars. I will be buying clothes as I lose.


I had an idea. I liked Patty's idea of a workout for girls night. Maybe we could each plan a workout..a favorite DVD or video to do for 3o minutes. Maybe we could do it after dinner. I would love to play the Wii...I have bever played before!

Okay..that was Patty's idea, my idea was to maybe have a clothing exchange for those of us around the same size. We could bring our jeans and items that no longer fit, so that others can get some use out of them before they change sizes. Just a thought. For me....I don't hang on to my " fat " clothes, so I don't have any excuse to ever wear them again!!

OK...thanks to Melissa and Tammy for the pictures.!

You are so worth it!

Let us repeat after Christi;

There are no shortcuts.
Dedication, commitment. Believe in myself.
Change has to take place inside ME.
I'm my own top priority.
Caring about myself & doing good things for myself is not only my right, but my responsibilty.
Believing I am unworthy is the single greatest barrier to my success in achieving not only my weight loss, but anything worthwhile.

I AM WORTH IT.

I AM BEAUTIFUL.

INSIDE and OUT.

Big Day!

First off, I wanted to thank you ladies for all the support you have been giving me. I love watching the progress we are all making, and I really couldn't have kept going without you all! Thank you!!! You are really inspiring to me, and it's nice to know I am not alone with my struggles. It's hard sometimes when you have 5 kids that all have dentist appointments at once, add scouts, Young women, activity days, preparing church lessons, meetings, a literal ton of dirty laundry ETC. I sometimes am so tired, and the thought of going to work out makes me want to cry. ( actually, I have cried..but that's another story!!) But, I imagine your faces, and the struggles you each face every single day as well, and I push myself beyond what strength I have left. I just want you all to know I appreciate each of you, and your honesty. When that cookie is begging me to eat it, I physically have to restrain myself, but I know the end result will be WORTH IT!! XOXOXOXOXO! See some of you tonight! I will miss those not able to make it. We will have to make a toast with our waters and diet drinks. Cheers to our biggest loser gals!

I honestly didn't think I would. Really, I didn't! Here is the scale...

Down 16.4 Pounds!

I really hope by next week I can be in the 150's,that would be awesome!
