Well today was the final weigh-in of the biggest loser!
I didn't win the contest - turns out other people were a bit more drastic than me and went for the lemonade cleanses, etc! I only took a diuretic and went to the sauna!! haha
But I'm still a winner! I feel super proud of myself and am actually not as upset as I thought I would be! I worked really hard and earned this and I've gotten myself into a pattern of healthy eating and exercise!
When I look back at the goals I made for myself 12 weeks ago when this program started I realized that I reached both of them!! They are:
1 - develop and maintain a regular exercise routine
2 - lose 20 pounds
I've done both of these, which is super exciting!!!
So with this challenge I lost:
* 20.6 pounds (31 all together!)
* 1.5" off neck
* 3" off chest
* 1" off upper arm
* 4" off waist
* 4.5" off thigh
* 1" off calf
I'd say this was still a pretty successful 12 weeks!!!!
Thanks for all the support here guys!! Much appreciated!!
Wow! That is super impressive! You should really be proud of what you accomplished. Think about it, you're nearly 1/3 of the way to your goal weight! That is an encouraging thought.
Laura, very nicely done! So awesome!
I, too entered a biggest loser contest at my work this winter, I didn't win, either. Hard to compete with people going at it in an unhealthy manner, chicken fasts, deprivations, etc.
But now fast forward 2 months after the contest. I'm still going and most of them are going backwards!!!
Don't let up, Laura, just because the contest is over. You have SO got this! Keep up the great work!
Congrats on establishing great habits, losing weight and being able to accept that you can absolutely "win" at weightloss even when you don't win a contest!
Not a winner, but still a WINNER!!
