Glamorous ME.... well...

Me at 175-177lbs

Me at 160lbs

Taking pictures of just me was pretty awkward.  Isaac told me that next time we should all take pictures together.  I think I agree with him.  I needed somebody to play off of... I just didn't know what to do all by myself all on my own.  I'm pretty happy with my weight loss.  It's possible that I could have done this on my own but I believe that 1.  It would have taken A LOT longer  2.  It would have been more difficult... as in... instead of losing 12-14s in a few weeks, I would have been running around and working out with all that extra weight on my body... trying to run, trying to do Yoga Melt down, trying to keep up with Shed and Shred... and it would have been more difficult and maybe even a little discouraging... maybe even easier to cheat and eat in a way that wouldn't be good for my body.

Pretending to kiss Josh, as if he were in the picture with me, I really needed somebody else with me in the picture

sweet and sassy, cause I am sweet, but sassy

This is how I felt inside, the whole photo shoot, what do I do with my body!!!!

What I really like about this diet is that it's a gradual change and focus to being healthy... instead of tackling all the health changes we need to make, all it once, it does it in steps
