• Biggest Loser

  I've been doing Heart Beat's Biggest Loser Challenge for the last 6 weeks. I can't believe it, but I'm the biggest loser!  I really had no idea, figured it wouldn't be me. A couple people lost an amazing 5-7lbs in the first week. I believe I lost about 3 so I figured that with that much of a jumpstart on me, there was no way . . . . And I haven't had any loss over 3.4lbs and mostly it was a pound here and there, so imagine my surprise!

  My goal is to get back down to a healthy weight. I want to look like my horse picture again! (That is my all time favorite of me.) Anyway, I think this winter I just got really frustrated with where I was at in terms of weight. I said there is a weight and I am never going over it, but I was pretty close and decided I needed to do something about it. I also got tired of feeling embarrassed everytime I ran into someone I hadn't seen in a long time. Though they wouldn't say it, in my mind I could hear the critic saying, "What happened to her?" Yes, it is probably more me than them. But I found myself ducking down isles I didn't need to go down to avoid seeing people. I don't want to be a ducker. And I also found myself hating to have my picture taken. My mom never wanted her picture taken. As a result, I think I have maybe two photos of her to remember her by. I guess I saw the challenge as a way of putting myself back in the picture.

  I still have a long way to go to get where I want to be. I'm aiming for the middle of what the charts say my healthy range is. But, this makes it feel like it is accutally doable!

  Thanks Christy and everyone for their support!
