I lost 16pounds on the Summer Of Me Challenge

I am so happy that I met and actually exceeded my original goal. Last night, my parents and I took a drive into town and when they had ice cream, I had a bottle of Dasani water. I have been so motivated lately because I've been looking at pictures of me before the weight and pictures of me now and you can just see a change in my spirit. In current pictures I seem to be camera shy and afraid to smile. I have got to change that! Anyway, thanks to Christie O. for sponsoring the contest on her site becuase I don't think I would have been motivated in the beginning on my own. I needed a little shove to get me started moving in the right direction. I have already heard that she is going to continue the Fat Ticker Friday's and I'm happy about that. Now that mine is moving, I have more motivation and it's much easier for me to continue.



Weekly Weight Loss 4.6 pounds
Grand Total Weight Loss 16 pounds! (My goal was 15.6 so I still have at least 80 more pounds to go!)

I am so happy, I know I have a long way to go but I am going to continue working on my weight loss because I really do feel better.

That is absolutely wonderful...I need to find that motivation as my overall weightloss goal is 135lbs. but I aim small and work at losing 20lbs at a time. I am coming off of 4 years of being physically ill, and now I have to train this old body to move again, and it has not been easy, but I promise to be stubborn. I am so happy for you.

Congratulations! That's wonderful. Maybe we can encourage each other... I haven't joined the weight loss thingy you have but I have been plugging away. I'm like you, I would love to love to be in front of the camera again! Good luck and keep up the good work!

When you have as much to lose as I do, it is easier than it is for those of you who only have a few pounds. I did work really hard though, so I'm happy that this contest gave me the extra push that I needed.
