Here I am a couple weekends ago in April. I know it's not the greatest picture. Cropped myself out of a group shot. Sorry it's really hard to get pictures of yourself. I am always the one taking the pictures and BEHIND the camera.
But I think you can see a difference (even with the blown out background.)
What I did.
I took out almost ALL sugar. Meaning, no sweets for me, just a bite here and there. Did pilates 3 times a week and strength trained 2. (Lifting weights, and resistant work) I got off my butt and moved. That means not sitting in front of the computer for ump-teen hours a day. It's hard. I love the computer, well most of the time, but I wanted to "look good" for summer. I am at my short term goal. Now I want to lose another 20 pounds and maintain it and be at my long goal, but for now, I am happy with my progress.
In the biggest loser competition that I am in with some girls from my area, we weighed in this morning for our final weigh-in. I am down 21 pounds and some oz. for 12 weeks. We go by % lost, and that was my goal to be at. So I am happy about that and hoping that the moolah- is coming my way!?!? A new summer wardrobe perhaps?? or just save it? We'll see.
Get out there and get moving and lose that extra poundage. I wanted to do it for my health and I feel so good and energized. Anyone doing great with your goal? Or not so great? What help do you need? what makes it hard?
I'd love to help and be of support if I could.

I'm so proud of you Hope! You look awesome! I wish I had more hours in the day to be able to get to the gym daily. Right now I'm only getting there about twice a week, and I really want to get there more. But it is hard when I have to wait until the hubby gets home and then twice a week we have tee ball.
Hope, you look great. It's hard finding the time and motivation when you're a mommy, wife, friend, etc... so I am proud of you for taking charge and doing it.
I need to do more pilates to work on my core because it stills looks too mommy to me.
Thanks for the motivation...
Hope, that's awesome! You look fabulous.
