I WANT TO BE THE BIGGEST LOSER!!!!! OR AT LEAST A LOSER!

Ten years ago I weighed 225 lbs. I was a size 22 and so so unhappy. I went through some life changing events (divorce, medication changes, etc.) and lost a lot of weight. I think I got down to like 125. I am now way up there again and although I am still a ways from the 225 I am quickly getting there. My sister has joined a biggest loser contest at her work and she is doing so well.

My friend Michelle is sponsoring her own little contest and I finally decided to join in. My reasons for joining the contest are yes, to loose weight. I have the desire to look more desirable! I don't like how I look and how my clothes fit so the cosmetic reason is definately part of it. However, I also signed up as an incentive to exercise. The winter was long and finances are tight. Depression and other emotions run high this time of year. I refuse to take any medications as I have had VERY bad luck with misdiagnosis etc, so I choose to self medicate! Certain foods contribute to different emotional deficiencies, and those are usually eliminated with dieting! Also, certain foods add energy...another way to fight those "bad days"!!!!

But most of all, exercise is the key. I love how I feel when I am on a work out plan. The older I get the harder it is to get going. My bones actually ache and it is harder to do some things. I will not grow old gracefully! I need help in getting motivated to exercise. If i can do it for 12 weeks, I can do it forever!

Ok, now to earn the points,
1. I already sent in my weight.
2. I will do the measurements later today.
3. I already sent in my pics. Just can't post that one!
4. I posted on Facebook about Michelle's contest.
