This is my public weight loss journey! I am an obese Registered Dietitian who has all the knowledge to lose weight and yet I can't. After not being accepted on the Biggest Loser for Season 10 I am officially going to do it on my own! I figure if I was willing to be on national television showing my weight and being humiliated, why not make a blog about it instead? I am going to show you videos, pictures, talk about the ups and downs of losing weight, talk about eating healthy, recipes, and so on and so on. So sit back and enjoy the journey!

IT'S TIME TO LOSE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my picture I submitted for the Biggest Loser audition. I had to purposely show all 279 pounds.

Come one, come all (well size 10s at least!)

Have I got a deal for you!  Things have been going pretty well weight loss wise for the past month.  I have dropped a total of 11 pounds since I started focusing on my weight loss again at the end of September.  Overall that gives me a 30 pound weight loss (woot woot!).  But I have a long way to go to make it to my goal to be able to go on my cruise (and also to be healthier, feel better in my own body, you know all the other benefits of losing the weight).  I've decided that I need a little additional motivation to get back on track after just getting home from a vacation (I actually gained about 5 pounds with this vacation, I was down 35 pounds before my week vacation to Texas.  Darn that Mexican food, BBQ, and desserts!) and to stay on track throughout the Thanksgiving holiday.  Anyone that knows me really well knows that I LOVE shoes, especially pretty and flashy high heel shoes. I mean this week when I was visiting Houston, I coveted after some beautiful Jimmy Choo shoes for days. They were purple and teal blue, had feathers, jewels, etc, etc. They are a Jillian's dream come true.  Let me just give you a visual display of some eye candy. 
I mean come on!  They are beautiful.  Okay, back to reality.  So I am thinking that I need to put out a wager to keep me motivated.  I have these awesome pink high heel shoes that I absolutely LOVE.  They are my Carrie Bradshaw-esque shoes.  I feel like a million bucks every time I wear them.  So here's the wager.  I HAVE to lose another 5 pounds by the 30th of November or else I will give these beautiful size 10 shoes to whomever posts first on here for dibs.  Luckily for me, I know I can do this and keep my beautiful pink shoes.  I will keep them. 

Current Weight:  249#
Total Weight Loss:  30#
Total % Weight Loss:  11%
GOAL:  Weight to be at 244# by midnight on 11/30/2011


Who wants my pretty pink shoes (as shown above) if I mess up?  Let me know!  Here's to hoping I keep these beauties!
