Battle of the bulge

As most of you probably know, I have battled with my weight my ENTIRE life. I'm up, I'm down, I'm all around. Since the beginning of January, with much dedication, I have been going to the gym at least three times a week which isn't too shabby. Last week, my gym gal pal and I went for the full five days. Kudos to us for sure but I still don't think I've lost a single pound so like, wtf?! lol.
Meanwhile, my gym gal pal is doing AMAZING! In fact, this weekend we exchanged clothes and I was SO pleased with what she gave to me (and super appreciative) - all of which I hope to fit into soon. :) As for her, she walked out of here with a box full of clothes (that I currently don't fit into) which pretty much all fit her. YAY! I can honestly say that I love the progress we're making. And even though I don't think I've lost a single pound, I can say that I've gained some things, besides weight! lol.
So far, I've gained energy during the day, I've gained endurance AND most importantly, I've gained a new friend! I mean, losing weight is great but the experience is what life is really all about for me personally. Although, losing some weight along the way would be AWESOME after all! lol. And now the opportunity has arisen to do a challenge which is similar to The Biggest Loser show that I keep himming and humming about.

We (the people that choose to enter) weigh in once a week and the outcome is based on our percentage lost as opposed to pounds so that no one will actually know what we weigh. THANK GAWD! lol. They intend to have incentives along the way to keep us motivated which is cool because like, who doesn't like to be rewarded?! When we first weigh in, we will be assigned a number that we will use for all weigh ins instead of our names. So really, no one will actually know who is losing the most every week unless it ends up being them self. At the end of it all, if you walk away being the biggest loser, that's when you get all the attention and MONEY! To claim the prize (guarateed $500 for 1st place) you just hand in your handy dandy number for your claim to fame. Ofcourse the winner has to be okay with their name and their percentage of weight lost being announced which is fine by me. Oh, and what would I do with that money won if I were to be the biggest loser? Well I think I would treat me to a fancy dinner with lots of cheesy, yummy, food and oodles of chocolate fun for dessert! Okay, maybe know you can see my fear of why I might not be successful if I enter. LOL! :)
This seems like an exciting thing to do yet I find myself discouraged cause I haven't had much success in the past few months. But then again, what do I really have to lose?! (you know, besides like a million pounds)???! lol.

.....To Be Continued......

  1. Do it, Kim! That sounds like a great opportunity and, like you say, no one will really know what you lose and all those personal details. It's spring, the birds are singing, and it's time to get butts into gear =-)

  2. Yeah, I think I'm in. The entry fee is a little hefty so I want it to be worth it. But you know me, when I want something I really go for it! Watch out! lol.
