Amy's Final Weigh In

My total weight lost is 18.2 pounds for a total weight loss percentage of 12.88%.  Yep, that's right.  I hit a plateau right at the end of the competition.  I have weighed the exact same the last few weigh ins.  So unfortunately I don't think that I will be the winner of one of those fabulous cash prizes, but (as cheesy as this sounds) I want to tell you a couple of reasons why I consider this competition a success for me.

1.  I have lost 18.2 pounds.  When we first started this competition I was at my pre-pregnancy weight.  I was satisfied without being totally happy with my body and my health.  I have changed that.  I have reached my goal weight which I set in high school and never reached.  

2.  Since doing this competition my family has started looking at their own health.  My husband, dad, and mom have all lost a considerable amount of weight.  One of my goals in the beginning was to help make my family healthier and now they are the ones motivating me.  

Sorry for this long cheesy post.  Thanks so much for letting me join this competition.  And congrats to those lucky/it was not luck but hard work that paid off winners.

oh, and i did run 17 miles this week.
