BDW Biggest Loser ~ Season 9!

[Cindy*]

Wow ladies, last week. So through this season, I have to confess I haven't been the most dedicated in terms of my weight loss goals and I've only lost about 4 (maybe 5 lbs by Friday) total all season. But you know what, it is better than staying the same or gaining weight. FI and I decided to get more serious about our weight lose and have started P90X, both the fitness and diet plans. It is only day 3 but we are really sticking with it. We are getting up and doing the workout at 6 am before we go to work and have been making the lunches the night before when we make dinner so that it is easy and convenient. So far I feel great. If we stick with it for the 90 days, I know I will lose that last 9-10 lbs in time for the wedding. So hopefully their is a BL 10. If so, I am in for sure.

 

So Jennypenny, I guess I have met this week's challenge as the P90X diet and exercise plan is definietly a new activity for me.

FINAL WEIGH-IN DAY!!

Come on ladies... please send me your stuff by Saturday at 12:00 PM EST so that I can tabulate our final results! You can still participate, even if you missed a few weeks (I have been keeping track).

Wow, I can't believe this day came so quickly! I must confess that I didn't do as well as I wanted either... but time is running out and I only have 7 months left. So I have to get serious now for sure!

I am in Quebec City at the moment and definitely doing unusual kinds of activity... walking up and down the hills here is crazy!

I took my final pic today...I really wish I could have done better. But I still have a little time left. I've done half already. Congrats to all the ladies who have lost something!! Good job!!

Renee, I took my final weigh in today which I will send to you and I can do a mirror pic if that works. J is away but I can get him to take a proper final pic on Sunday when he returns. I forgot to ask him yesterday before he left. Would that work?

[jennypenny23]

WoohooO! We did it!! Renee you did an AWESOME job hosting!! Thank you!!

 

This was such a good experience for me...I've never stuck to anything before with regards to my diet & health and I am soooo proud to have finished positively! I've said it before...you girls rock! What an awesome support system! I can't believe how far I've come personally, and I'm sure many of you feel that same way!

 

have a great weekend everyone =o)

I was freaking out because I couldn't find my phone or camera this morning and my FI is at work so I couldn't use his!

 

Thankfully I found my phone. It was on the charger where I had left it.

Well, I'm proud of the weight I lost, but I'm frustrated too because now my wedding dress is too big! It was a little tight before, but I guess 8 pounds was too much weight to lose because now I have to have it taken in!

Congrats everyone, you all did so amazing!! Jenny, wow your weight loss is unbelievable. Congratulations!

 

So in total this season I lost 4.6 lbs. I'd lost about 3 lbs before that so a total of almost 8 lbs. When I ordered my dress, I knew that it would have to be taken in and I'm okay with that, I will take it in around mid August because I still have 9 lbs to lose to reach my wedding goal weight. Well, when I ordered my dress I went out and purchased a low back bustier to make sure that I would have a bra that I could wear with the dress and that wasn't noticeable. I paid $100 for it and was okay with that because it actually worked perfect with the dress. Well, my dress came in and I went to try it on yesterday. The dress is too big, no big deal, I expected that. But now the bustier is too big too - both in the back and in the cup, I guess I lost most of my weight in the chest area. I am totally bummed because I have only had the bustier on for a total of about 5 minutes and have to go get a new one. I can't return it and I can't sell it because I took the tags off. Oh well, I guess on the bright side, things being too big is a good thing.
