Skinny Minnie Competition Update

As many of you know, I put together the Skinny Minnie Competition among 6 co-workers. We each put in $50 making the jack pot $300. The competition started April 1st and ends July 1st (which is in 5 days). The jack pot goes to anyone who meets their weight loss goal. So it is split by those who achieve it.

My personal goal- 14 lbs
Weight loss as of today- 11.6

Missed my goal by 2. 4 lbs (there is still 5 days)

Honestly... I am pretty bummed about missing my goal by just 2.4 lbs! Damn. I am trying to have a good attitude about it. It was a lot of hard work to miss it by 2. 4 lbs. I have been pretty bummed but I am trying to remember that even though I didn't win the cash, I still get the prize of being almost 12 lbs lighter!! Thanks for all your support and encouragement.

I will be leaving for Thailand and Bali tomorrow (slight chance today). I will not be updating and I will be enjoying beef, Starbucks, good quality American food, cheesecake and 7eleven slurpies. So i plan to have some weight gain, but I plan to continue losing after I get back. So keep checking back to this website!!

I know that my friend April has achieved her goal and lost over 17lbs!!! I am so proud of her. You have worked hard and I am glad you were able to meet your goal!!!

Alicia Needs Encouragment

Hi Everyone. This is Shannon, Alicia's sister. I don't know if she remembers that she gave me access to her blog when she first started it. She may be regreting it right now.

If you get the chance encourage Alicia. She is in the last week of the competition and she has 4 pounds to go. I know she can do it but she needs a little confidence in herself. So cheer her on and lift her up!!!

You can do it, Alicia. I believe in you!!!!

Weekly Weigh-in Wednesday June 20

Several Weeks ago - June 4- 154.0
June 20- 155.2
Total: +1.2 lbs

My apologies for not blogging and posting my weight in over two weeks! Shame on me! My parents completely surprised me and came to visit Delhi and so I didn't take the time to weigh-in or rather even remember to do it.

Because my parents were here, my diet kind of went by the wayside because we ate out a lot. Pretty disappointing, but they were definitely worth it!! Therefore, I have gained over a pound. BUT I still have about 10 days till the competition is over- so I plan to keep persevering and working towards that $300!!

I would like to say, that I am feeling really good about myself. I took tons of pictures these past 10 days with my parents here and it felt good to like the way I looked in all my pictures!! I can definitely see the difference. Even though it is showing that I have lost lbs- I still feel like I am loosing inches. My clothes continue to fit looser and looser!! Yay.

I leave for Thailand and then Bali a week from today. I plan to eat lots of beef and Starbucks- so the diet will fall by the wayside until I get back.

I posted lots and lots of pictures in the past 10 days cause of my parents. You can see more of my progress on this site. http://namaskarsa.blogspot.com/

Thanks for your encouragement!!

Total Loss- 3.6 lbs!!!

I am super excited about this weeks progress!! I knew it would be 2 lbs, but the 3rd lb was a suprise. This week, I went back to phase I of the South Beach Diet and I have also been sick all day Saturday and Sunday (i have been peeing out my butt). So I guess the combination of the two made for a great weight loss!! yay. This puts me in good standing to have a chance to still win the competition!
