I DID IT!!!

I made it through to the second half of the competition. I really didn't think that I would. I still had 4 pounds to lose last weekend. I worked my butt of this past week...literally! A lot of people had faith in me and I couldn't let them down...or myself! I eneded up losing the 4 pounds and then another pound and half on top of that! My total is now 16.6 pounds lost. I walked out of Lean Living and I got in my car and cried! This means so much and I just feel so wonderful!

last week!

This si the last week to really give it my all. I have 4 pounds left to lose or I am out of the contest :( I admit I have totally slacked. I did awesome the first month but didn't lose as much as I expected and that really effected me to the point that I stopped trying. Now reality is smacking me in the face because I can't get kicked out. That would really show my kids that I failed. I am so afraid that my slacking has ruined it for me. I have no one else to blame but myself. The problem is that if I get kicked out of the contest then I will lose all motivation, Kinda wish they didn't kick you out at the cut off point.

Weigh-in

Only 3.6 this time..but it makes my total 11.8 pounds!! Less then 4 more pounds to go to reach my 5% goal. I can do this! I will not fail myself and get kicked out of the competition. Jaime gave me some inspiration and made me happy about my accomplishment. No tears this weigh-in..lo.
