Scaled Back

Well, I did it... I completed the 10 week weight loss challenge called Scale Back Alabama, requiring you to lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks to be elligible for state and local prizes (as I referred to here)! I weighed out last week and my "official" weight loss was 14.75 POUNDS!!!

.

I was very excited about these numbers, and actually came in SECOND place at my ENTIRE gym (1st place lost 18 pounds)!! So, locally I won some bath products for coming in 2nd place in the challenge and losing over 10 pounds. I can't wait to find out if I happened to win ANY state prizes (particularly the MONEY!) !

.

Overall, though, my weight loss started before the Scale Back Alabama challenge started, and I have yet to "quit" my "diet" so as of THIS MORNING I have officially lost 20 POUNDS since January 5th! I admit I am very happy and proud of this accomplishment and will continue everything I've been doing to keep it up (bathing suit season is fast approaching)!
