SO I didn't win the contest, but I'm so excited for Kristal who did, totally deserves it. Even though I didn't win, I cannot complain at where I have gotten. I have tried to lose weight multiple times, not successful and never really tried very hard. When I started the contest, I knew that the first 5 lbs would be so easy to lose. I got to that point and was almost ready to give up. I'm so glad I didn't. I've lost 15 lbs!! I have never lost so much before. I am officially smaller than when I got married and almost the weight when I started college almost 9 years ago!! People are noticing the difference and I had so many compliments at church yesterday. It felt so good. I've never been comfortable with how I looked, even when I was smaller but I don't think I will be complaining anymore. (until I have another kid and get fat again :) ). I still have another 8 lbs to lose for the next contest, but I'm really going to enjoy the holidays wearing all my new smaller clothes.
