Today was the final weigh in of the Biggest Loser contest. I started the contest on January 9th at 150.3 lb. Today I was pretty happy where I was sitting with my weight loss but knew I was up against some guys who really wanted to win. Most were over 200 lbs. at the start of the 12 weeks. I weighed in today at 136.8!! I lost 13.5 lbs for a percentage of 8.98%. This was good enough for 3rd place. Woo Hoo!!! I even won $60 for my 3rd place finish. Can you say new outfit??!!
Now, round 2 of Biggest Loser starts. I will continue to compete with the 1st and 2nd place winners for another 8 weeks. On May 25th the three of us will weigh in again. Whoever loses the most will win the remaining $300 in the pot! So I will endure one more final, final weigh in.
These are two pretty big guys who seem to be able to go days without eating and manage to drop 20 lbs without batting an eye. I miss a meal and think I may pass out. But this competition for me is about finding balance and learning to eat to fuel my body. After 12 weeks I can already see that I don't need grains and dairy in my diet. A little every once in a while is o.k. but they are no longer the staples in my diet. Vegetables, high-quality meats, fruits, nuts and seeds have taken center stage and I love how it is making me feel.
Wish me luck over these next 8 weeks. I'll post my 12-week after picture soon!
Oh, and I won today by .01% If I would have weighed in at 136.9 I would have been in 4th place. I think He knew I needed this today!
