Final Results!

Stephanie - 1078.6 (8.7% weight loss, 10.8% inches lost)
Erin - 1028 (3.8% weight loss, 10% inches lost)
Megan  - 962.7 ((4.7% weight loss, 4.4% inches lost)
Amanda - 888 - (2.6% inches lost)
Sariah - 796 (.7% inches lost)
Keri - 785.9 (6.3% weight loss, 4.3 inches lost)
Heather - 784.5 (.7% inches lost)

And there we go!  Stephanie takes our top prize, with Erin in second and Megan in third!  But I'd like to think that all of us won, with the good habits we hopefully all developed for happier and healthier lives!

Stephanie and Megan, if you could e-mail me your addresses so I can get some checks in the mail to you.  I should have the checks in the mail by the end of the week at the very latest.  Erin, well, I'll see you soon, cash in hand.

Some of you have shown interest in doing the competition again in May!  That is great!  I will be happy to get Stephanie up and running as the new moderator (if you would even need any of my help!)  I'll bet a buck Heather will also answer any questions anyone has.

Keep it up girls.  Don't let all of your hard work these last ten weeks be for nothing.  Keep eating well, keep exercising, and keep on keepin' on (the unofficial catchphrase I noticed last round)

Thank you for letting me be your moderator and allowing a sharp learning curve.  And congrats you top three!

We did it!!!  Congratulations to everyone that made healthy habits and positive changes during this challenge.  It was so fun and motivating for me to have all of you ladies doing the challenges along with me.  I'm hoping to keep the momentum going and keep my weight loss happening. 

So here is my after picture.  I am pretty happy to report that these are not maternity jeans...they are even a pair I wore pre-pregnancy!  Woot-woot!

Is anyone not too burned out to do another 10 week challenge over the summer (maybe starting in May sometime)?  I would be happy to be the moderator.  I know that Megan and I know a few people that are interested as well.

Thanks Sariah for being a fabulous moderator this time around! 

I think all of you ladies are awesome!

No matter where you currently are on your fitness journey, I think we should all remember this -

I couldn't find the shirt I wore for the last one and Thing One took them instead of Amanda, but here are my finish pictures.  Yay.

Here's my pics!!

Not huge differences...but I can tell a some change in my face and that awesome tire! :)  I'm so glad I was able to participate in this awesome competition! It has motivated me in so many ways!  I know it's going to be a long journey to drop the last 30lbs, but I know it will be worth it.

 

Total from a year ago, I have lost 45lbs!  So...I'll take it!  (Even though most of it was after-baby weight loss.)

Thanks again for everyone's support and hopefully we can have another round and do this again!

Woop! Woop!

New Diet

So, I've done Paleo, and I've tried the Virgin Diet. Both are extremely restrictive and made me miserable (even though when I did Paleo a year ago I lost 20 pounds). I got a very basic meal plan from a guy at Max Muscle and I am feeling wonderful and I've dropped 3 more pounds! It's all food that I normally would eat anyway and I get 6 meals a day. When I get home from work, I'll scan and post it for you all in case you might be interested.

icky!!!
