Day 57 - The Final Push

No, I'm not birthing a child :) One week from today is the last official weigh in for the Biggest Loser Competition here at work. I've been in first place the entire competition, until last weigh in when I was bumped to second out of nowhere! I was told that I need to lose at least 9 pounds to win the whole thing (assuming the current first place competitor continues to lose at the same rate).

Well its one week down since this news and I've lost 3 more pounds, which means I need to lose 6 pounds in 7 days. Possible? I think not, but I sure as hell am going to try my hardest!!!!

We had a great weekend visiting some of Seth's family and it sure felt great for them to notice our weight loss :) So far Seth and I have lost 49 pounds combine!! Stay tuned for a before and after picture of us :)
