Back to Basics

Today starts the Back to Basics Challenge, at an AWFUL weight.  This makes me so angry, I've put on exactly 13lbs since reaching my lowest weight of 307.4lbs last month. ARGH!  I am very mad at myself.  The scale will not go up anymore.  Only down!  I am very determined to kick butt in this challenge and by extension in Marc & I's 5/50 Challenge.


I'm doing something different for our weekly photos for the 5/50 challenge this week.  Marc went to ride ATVs with my Dad yesterday and I thought this was a great action shot.  When I first looked at it, I thought it was a picture of my brother and not Marc.  He looks so little on there!  Marc would have never done this 150lbs ago, he had a hard time even riding in my Dad's truck with him before he lost the weight. Huge NSVs for him!  The other awesome news for Marc is that he weighed in at 291.1lbs this morning!  That is an 8.3lbs loss since we started the 5/50 Challenge two weeks ago.  Yes, I hate him just a teeny bit today.


Mine is different too.  While the boys were getting ready to leave yesterday I caught a glimpse of my shadow and say that I'm actually starting to have definition in my shadow instead of a huge blob!  I can see curves.  I'm not updating my ticker to show a gain, so let's hope next week is a much better weigh in.
