Biggest Loser Competition(s)



I am now taking part in not one, but two Biggest Loser Competitions.  The one for Halliburton goes from Jan 5th - Apr 13th.  The new one I joined is actually with the guys that I work with at the plant.  There are 8 of us competing in that one and it should be a very close race!  The dates for that one range from Feb 4th - May 10th.  We all put money in a pot and whoever loses the biggest percentage of weight will take it all!

I actually wrote the Makin' Changes post almost two months ago when I started the first Biggest Loser Competition with the Halliburton bunch.  It's taken me losing 20+ lbs to feel comfortable enough to actually post about it for everyone to see.   Even though I still have plenty of weight to lose, I wish I would've had the courage to not care about what people were going to think and just document the first bits of weight loss as well.  Live and learn...

I have no doubt in my mind that I will be able to lose the weight, my biggest fear is being able to keep it off.  I've just got to remember that this is a process.  Just like it was a process for me to gain each one of those very unhealthy pounds.  I'll worry about that part when it gets here though. 

I read the  Mama Laughlin, Skinny Meg, Southern Girl, and Runs For Cookies blogs on a regular basis.  Those ladies have each lost upwards of 100lbs and just have amazing life stories.  They are all very inspiring and motivating to say the least.  Reading them helps me focus on the good days and to also remember that there will be bad days.  Period!
