Update

ok so the update is that the Rapid Challenge has been extended until July now. While this was disappointing that we won't find out about Fiji until then, the exciting thing is that there was 6 of us who received $1000 for our effort so far in losing the weight and keeping it off! So I know that I've done well and been noticed!

I went shopping with my gorgeous friend Jess today. She has good taste in clothes and has gotten me addicted to Dangerfield. It's rather expensive so she took me to their clearance warehouse today. Here's what I bought! I don't normally buy designer clothes but I love their styles so much. I got all of these for $180 including some pyjamas for my oldest daughter, a bag, some knickers for her and a makeup bag with a Herman Munster print!

Links

ok I know that I said last week was my last post but I wanted to share the link to my slideshow and really crappy song that I'm singing! The song itself is quite good, it's just my singing that is questionable. Sung to a karaoke version of The Longest Time, I did like the wo oh oh oh's in the background! I was originally changing the words to Hey Jude but that sounded even more woeful than this one! I saved it to dropbox because I had no idea how else to share it and my mammoth slideshow. I even called tech support and they advised me to do it that way.

So here goes, hope you can see/hear my attempts at it anyway!

Goal!

I'm pretty stoked. I reached goal a few days ago, then wavered up and down a little and finally hit goal 2 days in a row. I have been doing a little slideshow to send to Rapid Loss of all my photos and realised that I haven't done any in ages. As my weight hasn't changed that much since the last I didn't think there'd be much difference but because I've been going to the gym so often I think there really is. Bridie even said that my tummy looked really toned. So I'll put my very first photo, my last one taken and the ones taken today.

So now I'm 75 kilos. 30 kilos down. I am so happy at this weight. I don't want to get any thinner really because I just can't maintain it. So I shall put a before and after shot on here, side and front, and then I'm done! If I here anything about the competition I'll write it on here, and if not, I've won anyway. I feel fabulous, I have a whole new lease on life now. Thanks so much everybody for reading and cheering me on, it really has meant the world to me. Having so much support has not only been fantastic for my ego but it's egged me on to complete what I started a year ago. And hopefully has shown people that despite many odds, and many kilos to lose, that it can be done. I love youse all!
