Shrinkaversary Extravaganza

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

I've seen several friend in this "Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans" group and I've always thought "I can do this by myself!"  I have faith in myself that I can, BUT I can't resist any longer and must join.  These people have too much fun, how can one resist? If you are interested in finding some support with weight loss and fitness, feel free to read up and join at Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans.

So, now where I'm at? I begin my weigh in at (gasp, yes, here it is for the world to see) 161.5.  First I have to say, I'm damn proud of that weight because I've worked hard to get the scale this low.  I think the last time my scale saw 160 was probably in 1995.  And for those who don't know me or my history, I'll just let you in on that my highest weight was approximately 212 pounds in 2007. 

I owe a big thanks in loosing most of this weight to Sparkpeople.  I love Sparkpeople cuz it's FREE, and it has tons of resources.  I track my foods and exercise there, but there is oodles of resources there--blogs, message boards, teams, articles, recipes, and much much more. I have some photos of my weight loss journey on my Sparkpage if you want to see how much I've shrunk.

Happy Shrinking to all those in the Challenge!

We've had similar weight loss journeys. I did the majority of my weight loss on my own, and yes, it can be done, but I love the Sisterhood so so much!

I'm so glad you're joining us! You won't regret it!
