So today marks the day of no more eating like crap and actually doing some hardcore exercise.
It needs to be done and there is never a good time to start as there is always something that will blow it. So I already know the challenge I have in front of me as I start this a few days after our homes are blasted with sugary crap candy and we enter into Thanksgiving and Christmas...not to mention the weather does not support a healthy, active outdoor lifestyle...so yes, I have carefully taken all of these factors into consideration.
But there is a new wardrobe with a hot pair of shoes at stake! It is a competition. A few co-workers decided that they wanted to do an office type biggest loser. So we have come up with a fun individual member names, we made official rules such as no sabotaging others, no binging and purging, no weight loss supplements or surgery. Each participant put in $50.00 and we weigh-in every 2 weeks. if at weigh-in anyone gains weight there is a $2 fine for every pound. if someone misses a weigh-in they get the same weight from the last weigh-in used and a $5 fine. The competition is based off of percentage lost.
So see what I mean.... I have clothes on my mind! I will need the money from the other losers to buy new clothes!
So I weighed in today at 156.6. I will update here, every time I weigh-in. At the end I will post a before and after picture. I am sharing this on the Internet as it holds me more accountable if I do not follow through.
A few things I have started to change:
no more coffee - I now drink green tea.
no alcoholic beverages
I went shopping and was very conscious about calories, carbs, and fat.
no soda - think water, water, water.
I think I will do okay on the food part of this, it is sticking to the exercise routine, that will be my challenge....so here goes.
my name for this competition is 'Wine is not a fruit'.

You will do great -having to be accountable is the biggest thing that is necessary when loosing weight. Although, I am not sure 156 is a horrible number.
Go Sis!
That actually sounds like fun! If you can call it fun. But do you have that much to lose?
On that note I am in the same boat with you. Only add 60 lbs or something like that to your weight. My road is longer but I have seen a difference and a the moment have a drive to get it done. My goal: 140-145. The next family gathering should be a celebration of lost baggage!
Yes, to both of you.... 156 is horrible and lis, I agree with you... a celebration of lost baggage is in order, so if we are counting I have already lost 200 lbs!(you guys know what (who) I mean.) It feels great!
Congratulations on the ALREADY lost baggage and I all I meant with 156 not being horrible is that YOU do have an easier road than Lisa or I. I am motivated to also loose some extra storage (mainly the thighs) but I do have to say - Holidays are THE worst time, so we'll see how my will power treats me.
