Thanks. The unfortunate part is that I believe all it got me was sick I have taken this contest very serious, but I also started a job last year that wasn't good for me and I gained like 18 lbs. So I have been fighting for almost 8 months to get this weigh off.

 

I am going to have a very busy week so I am going to post my before and after pics. NOw...... OMG!!! Here I go.

Best of Luck to everyone tomorrow.... I told Ann I was going to post before and after photos. I'm not sure if this has been the practice but it has been what has motivated me, and the support from you guys. But knowing I was planning on posting pics really helped me through a lot of this.....

 

Okay so here it is..... This is the picture that made me decide to join BL3. This picture was taken by our villa pool in Puerto Vallarta the end of May - beginning of June. This was my turning point.

This next picture was taken on Sunday at Coney Island. Since I started training I probably gained more muscle than lost weight, but hey as long as I don't jiggle. I guess it is worth it.

I also lost my boobs I just wanted to use that smilie....

The part you can't see in the picture is that this skirt didn't fit me when I went to mexico and what you aren't seeing is that I just put it on in this picture without even unbuttoning or unzipping it. That felt good.

 

I really hope everyone else who participated had a lot of success. I have always been a little thick for my height. I am only 5'1", so weight is something I have to work on at all times. I eat like a horse and now have a trainer so I hope to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

 

I hope you all feel like winners. I may see you in BL4 or 5. I tried on my wedding dress today, which was a sample I bought and couldn't fit into when I did buy it. Not that I am ready to walk down the isle in it, but I can at least fit into it and zip it with ease. Yeah!!! probably a few more lbs gone will help.

 

 

Okay I am rattling on because I am nervous about posting pics of me in my bathing suit, but hell with it here I go....................... another one I wanted to use. hee hee

So I had to weigh in tonight because I don't think I can find the time tomorrow. So all in all I believe I lost approx 12ish lbs. Though by the scale it is more, when we started I had just came back from vac and it was also that time you know. So I calculate approx 4-5 lbs in just water weight, so it was actually more than 12lbs after that. Well hey either way. I am feeling good. I have about 7-8 more lbs to go to wear my dress.

 

I wish every one the best.

Great Job K&R wedding...you look great!! Unfortunately I have fallen off the bandwagon again. I really need to get on the horn. I think I lost a couple lbs this season...nothing to put on a bikini for ha But let's just say I haven't been trying too hard (ex. halloween candy today) I haven't had a dress fitting yet though so I'm hoping that will motivate me more. Especially if it doesn't fit!! I'm just glad I didn't gain any and I will probably be back for next season as it should end by the time we are leaving for Mexico

That's awesome! You look great. Good luck for tomorrow everyone.

wow you've really made a visible difference! way to go! i love that you were able to slip on a skirt (that you couldn't fit before) without even unbuttoning or unzipping it! that had to feel really great!

I forgot to weigh in this morning... I hope I remember later. I dont think my 6 lbs lost has changed much... but its 6lbs more than what ive lost without BL!

[cougs]

well, i did it! i managed to make it over the 10 lb. mark! LOL it's silly how happy it made me to have lost 10 pounds, since i have SO much more to lose, and i should have lost more than that in 8 weeks. best of luck to you all, and i'll see you in BL4!

[yamille]

Kathy you look great!! The working out paid off. You have so much more definition in your tummy. Good for you! I am definately moticated for BL4 cause this time around I did not do my best. I played around with 5lbs somehow but in the end after weighing myself today I am at the same weight that I started.

 

I started working with a trainer and am more focused. See you at BL4 ladies!

 

Congrats to everyone for their efforts!
