So here I am!... After looking at these pics- I feel a lot better about myself and the progress I made these past 6 months! I was just shy of the 30lbs I had hoped to lose (since 50 just got further and further away from me)... But I am happy with what I accomplished.
I lost 29.2lbs during this contest for a total of 14.59%

I learned how "hard core" I can be, if I have the right attitude about things! I learned I am such a stress eater- it's crazy, and that other around me influence my eating habits more than I care it admit! Having my phyisco husband with me during this- is what saved me! Really having someone to modivate you everyday- help you along on those "hard days" does more than anything else for me at least!

I started running- which I never had before in my life, I am running my first race ever in Augest a 10k, and I am really excited.
The best part is watching our little son- observe us and our crazy habits, he now carries around a 3lb dumb bell whenever we go downstairs, he loves running with his stroller and doing pull ups with Eric! So great!

I hope to continue this journey- another 20lbs or so would be great! Thanks again for everyone doing this with us! It really has been so fun
and exciting, etc etc each week! GOOD LUCK!
