I'm Such a Loser

Recently I participated in a 10-week Biggest Loser challenge locally and my team worked crazy hard to lose our weight and complete our weekly challenges. We worked out daily, counted calories and encouraged each other to earn our maximum daily points. It was touch and go with another team at the end but we pulled through with a win. We got $400 to split between the 3 of us and a total team loss of almost 70 pounds. I had started the week prior so in my 11-week journey, I was able to shed all my residual baby weight and lost 29 pounds.



We contracted our friend Melain to give us makeovers to reward ourselves for all our hard work. She dolled us up and then did a mini photo shoot.



My hard-working, horrible at posing, WINNING WHITE team.





At one point, Melain's dog, Oreo came in and I about lost it. Unfortunately I was posing on the floor in a most unnatural position so I was right in harms way.



I hate dogs.

Not one of us into caring much about our appearance so this shoot was a bit awkward. Really helps us evaluate what we deem a priority.

Thank you Melain for your generous heart and talented hands. You made us look so good and always make me feel loved and accepted.


Thank you Vicki for being the drill seargent (in a good way) and pushing me to be my best. Your humor and relatability are what make you so enjoyable to be around.


Thank you Steph for being my equal when it comes to "keeping my head above water." We shared a lot of moments and it felt so nice to know you know how I feel.
I could not have picked a more amazing team.


Go white!!

I agree --- Our team was great. I actually am having withdrawals I like being a drill sergeant and having to be accountable to a team.

And don't forget that Huck Finn is bringing sexy back.
