It is done! Mindy's second weight loss challenge is over and done with and I came out a winner again! This time there were 43 of us in the challenge so the pot is much bigger. We will find out how many others were successful tomorrow. I am feeling GREAT! My family was so excited they took me out for some Mexican at Chuy's .
I have learned a lot on this 8 month journey to loose quite a few bags of potatoes in weight. First of all, set reasonable goals. 10% at a time in a 12 week time period was doable. Second, have family not sabotaging you. ha ha Third, have some great friends to compete with and enjoy a little smack talk. I have found that money and beating others is really good motivation for me.
What does that say to me about myself? I guess while I am putting on my single digit sized pants with a smile, I will admit that Todd has always been right on one thing...I am REALLY competitive!!!

ahh, FINALLY the truth comes out... the MOST competitive person I've ever know... seriously... but how proud could I be of this little girl of mine!!!!!!!!!!! You did it Shel and you did it the right way!!! Congrats!!
Congrats Shelley! Have you reached your final target weight now? I thought that you were done the last time that you did the challenge. I guess I should follow your example. Did you increase your exercise as well or was it all with the diet?
I have lost all and a little more than I planned on loosing. I didn't increase exercise this last 10% because I wouldn't have reached my goal weight. Now I get to start back with Yoga again. I am really excited about that!
Yea Shelley! I need to come and celebrate with you! Congrats! You did it! Go buy thoses awesome jeans now!
Congrats!! Competition is a great motivating factor :).
Congratulations Shelley! You do look great!!! I am very impressed with you!
What kind of Yoga do you do! I do Kundalini Yoga, with the Breath of Fire! There are moments when I want to physically assault the lady on the dvd. I know irrational, but frankly so are some of those poses! (HEHEHE!)
Randi,
I don't know what I do...that Exhale guy on the Oxygen channel that has funky music and makes me keep my head upside down FOREVER! :) I love Angela's yoga but can't go during the day.
Strike a Warrior Pose!
What is Ku.....Yoga? Hmmmmm...I can only imagine. I will have to come check it out. hahaha
