Missouri60

Okay, I am in on Tony's challenge. We have sixty days to show ourselves, and everyone else, how much weight we can lose and how much of a difference it will make in not just our appearance, but our lives. Sixty days does not sound like a lot, but even at a pound+ a week, I can lose another 10 or more pounds over the summer. I doubt I will win the contest, and I'm not really doing it for that reason. More that I am publicly accepting the challenge to give myself a fun goal, and to participate with the others. Tony's blog is amazing, he lost 200 pounds in a year, all with Weight Watchers and unwavering dedication and exercise. His blog was one of the first weight loss blogs I started reading, because his success is so incredible.

As part of the challenge, we have to post a full body photo of ourselves, currently, and then updated photos as the challenge progresses. As you know if you've been reading me, I've already lost about 40 pounds this year, but still have 60+ to go. So this photo is from a few nights ago, and I would say my weight was 205, since that's what I weighed in at my WW meeting this last Friday. I am trying to find a photo of me from when I was at my absolute heaviest, but it was maybe 10 years ago, and it's a printed photo so it's stuck in an album somewhere, but when I find it, I will scan it. It is THE worst photo of me ever, but in its own way it's very inspirational because it reminds me of what I never want to look like ever ever again!

I will update on my challenge periodically, but of course I have my Weight Watchers ticker at the bottom of my page to keep track of it for me. Thanks to Tony for coming up with this fun little challenge for us!
