Dubois Biggest Loser Contest

I saw that there was going to be a Biggest Loser contest in January, but I didn't think I was ready to get serious about weight-loss.
The contest started Jan. 12th but I had decided I didn't want to commit myself to it. But the following week & the weekend of the 21st Zane had some basketball games.  While I was at the games, 2 of my friends talked to me about the contest. We were in Montana on the 21st (for a b-ball tournament) and Amy & Stephanie talked to me (again) about joining the contest.

I told them that I just didn't think I was ready--but Amy said, "Is anyone ever really ready?"  That made me think and so by Monday morning, I had decided that I was going to give it a shot.  My friends also said--losing something is better than losing nothing.

Here are some of my "before" pictures:

This is the last of my "big" pictures.

When I finally signed up (2 weeks late), I knew that I was going to put all my effort into this.  The next blogs will be about my journey.

And here is a picture at the piano recital on May 21st (10 days before the end of the official contest).

Shortly after my 5K run--feeling good!
