Guess Who Is Starting Another Diet?

The seven year old stick figure I call daughter, "Mommy when you were my age were you skinny like me?"

"Yes, I was just like you."

"Does that mean I'm going to get real fat, too?"

It's Time

This weekend I was walking on the sidewalk in front of a stripmall. I saw my reflection in the store window and determined that my ass needs its own zip code. Combined with Ebaby’s lovely question I have decided it is time to jump back on the weight loss wagon. I’m not going to make any “Weight Loss Wednesday” or “Fat Ass Friday” commitments though. I’m just going to post when I’ve actually lost weight. Maybe not even then. Who knows?

Before I got pregnant my goal was to lose 100 pounds before I turned 40. At the time that gave me two years. Totally doable- about one pound a week. Now? It’s a year later and I have gained weight. Is anyone really surprised? After I had Scoop I was thrilled because I lost all of my baby weight in three weeks. To be honest, I only gained twenty pounds and had a nine pound four ounce baby and assorted fluids and stuff come out all at once. It was great! Then I went on the mental medicine. And was still depressed. And gained back all twenty pounds. Needless to say I feel like crap. So now I have 120 pound to lose and I will be 39 in August. One hundred twenty pounds in 60 weeks? That’s only 2 pounds a week so I supposed I can still do it. Can you feel the confidence oozing from me?

I will be breaking out my Weight Watchers At Home kit I got before getting knocked up. WW seems to work really well for me. (Though if Jenny Craig wants to send me free meals, I’ll be happy to blog all about it.)

Wish me luck. Cause, honey, I’m gonna need it!

I'm a Big Loser- But Not Like These People

The Biggest Loser finale has been on for 14 minutes & I'm already crying! The chick from New Jersey lost half- HALF- her body weight! Holy crap! She went from a size 22 (my size btw) to a size 2- a SIZE 2.

It's back on...I'll be back.

**********************************
The people who were voted off just came on.

They are completely different people! Go turn it on. It's amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it.

**********************************

OK everybody- starting January- Big Blog Loser! If these people can do it- so can we!
************************************
Jen is Hot! She lost 100 pounds. On her own because she was voted off first.
I would totally want to be on Bob's team. He's so into it and encouraging. Did I mention that I'm eating ice cream while I'm watching this? Yep, no self control whatsoever. I suck.

***********************************
Amy lost 106 pounds. She went from a size 22 to a size 10. I identify with Amy quite a bit. We seem to have the same kind of body. I don't know how tall she is- but it looks like she's up there. I am 5'10". She started out at 260lbs. I weigh (I can't believe I'm putting this on the Internet) I weigh 264 lbs. Amy now weighs 154. I never even considered getting down to 154. Maybe I can.
I just checked on NBC.com- Amy is 5'10".
**********************************
Marty is so cute. I can't believe what these people did!
************************************
I hate the cliff hanging crap- I really need Tivo, then I could have watched it in about 40 minutes instead of 2 hours. How big of a dork am I that I'm blogging The Biggest Loser? Maggie Mason, I think I need your book!
************************************

The final four look awesome. Even pregnant, she looks great! Was that Niecy Nash in the audience? I love Niecy- do you watch Clean House- very funny.
There's a half hour left- how will they be dragging this out? Weigh 'em so I can get something done around here!
*************************************
It would be so cool if Kai won. A female Biggest Loser- that would be great.
*************************************
Erik lost 214 pounds! 2 1 4 pounds! He lost a person! Holy cow!

Now I must go & actually get something done around here. Hi, my name is Bethany & I am such a dork!
