Okay, now that the Biggest Loser challenge is over, I have been a little lackadaisical in getting to the gym to work out.

So, I am joining the Body For Life Challenge officially starting Monday, April 4, 2011.  It is a 12-week challenge that I signed up for at http://www.bodyforlife.com for free.  I downloaded all the tracking info and printed and I have a pretty pink binder I have put it all in.

I will be taking my before picture in a bikini (yikes!) and in 12 weeks I take an after picture.  The challenge ends June 29, 2011.

I will still be taking weekly pics to post here and keeping notes here on my progress.

This whole time I have been following the Body For Life eating plan, just not the workout plan.  I have it, though and I am re-committing myself to getting to the gym 6 times a week.

The eating part I have down well, just not the exercise.  I have been shedding 1-2 lbs. a week with 1-3 workouts a week, just imagine my progress at 6 workouts/week.  I can expect 2-5 lbs. per week consistently, I think.  That is what the personal trainer said, anyway.

I am now in a size 17-18, down from the 22-24 I was wearing 9 weeks ago.  *Sigh*  I have come far, and I still have 106 lbs. to go.

Okay, so I weighed in at the gym for the Biggest Loser Challenge and I did OK.  Considering what I have contended with over the past weeks, I have done really well.  I have shed 18.5 lbs.

Here are my comparison pictures, my first pic compared to today:
