Three months ago my squadron started a biggest loser contest. I decided what the heck why not try it, and for three months I kept with a steady diet and workout routine. Today was my final weigh in, and I was the first to do so....so now I wait 24hrs while everyone else comes to weigh in. I will not lie it is a little un-nerving, and I am anxious to see how I did against everyone else. So here are my stats:
Start weight: 164
End weight: 143
Pounds Lost: 21
Body fat percent lost: 12.8%
The first place prize is the pot which right now teeters to around $440.00
Second Place a WII Fit
Third a 96 hour special Liberty
Fourth a 72 hour special Liberty
As much as I would love to win and be the champ, I have to keep my goals real and know it is very probably that I may not win. However, I consider myself a winner at heart because not only is ALL of pregnancy weight gone but so is an additional 16 pounds. I feel great and accomplished. I stuck with this and it benefited me the entire time. At this point though all I can feel is fabulous!
So with all this being said here is my positive thought today as I looked in the Mirror: You have amazing legs, and strong determination. Your strong, and goal oriented. You are a winner today no matter the outcome of the contest!

More than the number of pounds lost, an almost 13% reduction in body fat is HUGE! Congratulations - you have won regardless of who takes 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th prize.
