How did my head get on a chunky girl's body??



I thought I'd publish this for all the world to see and maybe hold me more accountable. So here it is - starting picture. Now let me tell you why the sudden desire to loose some weight.

My goal was to loose 15 pounds in 8 weeks. Why 8 weeks? Well, my sister met the man of her dreams 3 weeks ago and they are getting married on August 1! Knowing that, and knowing that I need someone holding my hand along the way, I joined Weight Watchers on Saturday. I just knew I was going to make my goal.

However, plans change. In life, you really need to be flexible or else you'll be sorely disappointed all throughout it. My sister called this morning and asked we could be at the church by 6:00 pm tonight! So I won't look all cute and sassy in her wedding pictures with 15 pounds off. Hey, at least I have a good haircut, right? I'm so excited for them, though!

I will be posting a picture update every week to see if we can tell a difference in my weight. I'm trying to decide if I should wear the same dress every time, what do you think?

I think you look beautiful, Amy. My dad and sister had great success with WW a few years ago. How exciting about your sister - is it Rhonda? Please post some wedding pics!

Uhhhhh, well since she moved the wedding up (and you couldn't possibly lose 15 pounds in a matter of hours)...doesn't that give you the excuse NOT to lose the 15 pounds? LOL! You look lovely just as you are :-)

Yes, wear the same dress in all the pics.

I agree to wear the same dress in the pictures you post. I also suggest that you take a picture for yourself in a bathing suit or underwear so you can see smaller changes more easily. Just be sure to copy them off the camera :)

I agree - wear the same dress each time. You can do it! ~cheering you on from the sidelines~ I really need to get in gear myself...
