Greetings celery savages
When I look in the mirror I want the women looking back at me to smile.

I am now weighing more then I ever have in my life.
(This does not make my husband smile)
This includes the times I have been pregnant at ages 28, 30 and 45.
My eight year old daughter took my photos.
" your going to love it when your skinny mom"
She is not only right but correct as well. Out of the mouths of those wise old souls.
She will be my biggest cheerleader I'm sure.
This hole thing came on so quickly like a few hours before the dead line.
Dang, I made it just in time. Now what. ? .? .
Quick eat that last little bit of chocolate and you better eat that goat cheese up
because your not going to be eating that any more.
My yoga class starts on Monday. The spinning class I took for 8 months 4 to 5 day's a week
amounted to a 3lb lose and a lower bake crap out. That was a big bummer .
Still not sure what that was about.
Being a part of this big surge of excitement of all these women making life changes for any reason, be it health , self esteem, relationship and or long term wellness is FANTASTIC .
Thank you to all of you. We all deserve this ,we all made it this far.
I need to loss 50 to 60lbs ( crap )
Kari any advise for me now that I have eaten all the goat cheese
and the chocolate is gone. ;> {I did not eat all the chocolate}
What would be realistic goal for me.
I want to set it high , and I want to keep up with my family on our hikes.
I am on the other side of menopause. That wasn't easy!
This could of had something to do with spinning class thing.
How about 50 lbs? I'm 5'3" 54 years young .

Pamella!! Last year I did this same competition for the exact same amount of time! I am also EXACTLY your height. I started out 1 lb heavier than you. I DID lose 50 lbs.. (Even with girl scout cookie month slightly side tracking me! ;o) ) I say GO FOR IT!!! I started by taking out sugar and white flour. (As opposed to taking out carbs all together!) The first month.. I lost almost 14 lbs. I am not sure how AGE factors into this.. but honestly, I KNOW that 50 lbs is doable!! I LOVE that you have a daughter to cheer for you!! We are all cheering for you too!! GO PAMELLA!!
PS I also won $650 in this comp last year. There is even more money in it this year!! GO FOR IT!!
