before and so far

i'm posting some progress pictures. the first fat one is me in november at my best friends celebrating his birthday. i don't really like this picture one because i look like a big fluffy marshmallow...just sayin - you can agree or disagree. i want to say i'm about 226lbs in that picture but not quite sure either way i'm pretty close to that number. one of my friends was being so nice that night he asked me if i was losing weight...ha! um no just packing some on to lose later. the second picture is me in mexico at the mayan ruins, not much to say about this one except for i had an amazing time. i think i weighed in at 224lbs in this picture i would guess because when i got back from my trip that is what i weighed so around there. so far this is what i have as my before pictures, if i can find more i will post those as well. when i get to my goal weight i would like to do something fun and make a video slide show...hehehe

...and this picture is me about 25lbs lighter. in my zumba class the instructor is having a biggest loser contest from now to june and i was the first week's winner! weigh ins are every saturday morning after class and then a winnder is announced every two weeks. next week's winner will be announced this monday coming up so we will see what happends. I had a big lose last week weighing in but because of easter not sure how well this week's weigh in will be but i'm not scared. i've been working my butt off this week so far to burn that easter food off. hopefully it will pay off in the end. the final winner receives a free month of zumba. i'm hoping to get that because i could really save the money and use it for something else like new shoes!! i'm really just happy to be losing weight and in the end of it all i will probably feel like a winner in my own right.

~ cheers and good health!
