Lose 100 lbs.

I have been slacking off on this goal, but I have started attacking it with full force this week. I joined a Biggest Loser Contest yesterday. The grand prize is $4000 cash and a $2500 gift certificate for a local furniture store. I have 90 days to lose 68 pounds. I know I can do this!! I just have to work hard and not give up! Wish me luck!

that I am only 43lbs. away from this goal. I know that sounds like a lot, but you have no idea what it means to me. When I started, I thought 100lbs is so much to lose, and there is no way I can ever make it! Now, I’m over halfway there, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t beleive I have got this far already, and am so excited about getting the rest of the way there! 43lbs. seems like nothing when I look at where I started. I haven’t been this small in years, and can hardly wait to get down to my final goal!
Below is a picture I took right before I started this goal. I completely filled out that shirt! The next two pictures from 3 days ago. (and the shirt wasn’t stretched out from wear. I bought it the day I took the first pic, and have only worn it twice since then!) I never thought I would be happy to say that I need new clothes!!! :)

I just passed my 50lb. mark today! So I am half way there! YAAAAAY! (sadly, I just now realized I’m half way there! Need more sleep! LOL)

Not much weight change since my last post,(only 2lbs. down from last week) but I wanted to share this week’s photo, because I thought it turned out really nicely!

I hate water retention, I really do. I should be within a few lbs. from my halfway mark this week, but I’m not. Over Easter weekend, I gained almost 5lbs. I couldn’t figure out why, until someone pointed that my fingers were swollen. Ok, so water was the culprit, and two days later, I lost almost 5 lbs. in a matter of 48 hours. But why does it happen? It’s frustrating. Yes, I am back on the road to weight loss, and I’m happy about that, but even this week has been slow and there are days when I gain, then lose it again the next day. It’s hard to take after doing so good, so far!
Ok, but I’m not going to let all that get me down. I am down to 246 lbs. That is a total of 44lbs. lost. WOOHOO!
According to my schedule on startyourdiet.com I should be down to my goal weight just in time for my birthday! If so, you can bet I’m going to treat myself to a new birthday wardrobe! LOL.

I only have 15lbs. to go to get to the halfway mark! I am so excited! And I feel great! I am really starting to SEE a difference too! (Check out my latest picture!) I think when I meet my goal, I may just keep going!
