Alright Sweet Potato Pie-ers I’m ready to get serious about dropping these 30lbs I’ve accumulated since I’ve moved back home. It’s been an uphill battle for reasons that I’ve documented on this blog, but now my little one is in Kindergarten my momma is on the mend and I’m tired of being fat so…I’ve started my 8 Weeks to a Better Body Challenge to jump start my wight loss.

I don’t expect all of the 30lbs to be gone by the end of the 8 weeks, but I do expect to have lost a number of inches and a significant amount of weight so I can least be out of these size 14 jeans that I refuse to buy.

Here Goes – my before pic at 170lb:

Can I get a case of Thigh-Be-Gone - Please?

Can I get a case of Thigh-Be-Gone - Please?

Yep.

That’s me in a swimsuit.

Sigh.

Anyway I will upload a new swimsuit pic every two weeks and include my weight and current measurements.

Weight: 170lbs
Measurements: 36 – 29.5 – 42
Thigh: 23.5in.
Calf: 17in.
Bicep: 12.75in

Anyone is welcome to join me in this challenge. All you have to do is send your before pic (no it doesn’t have to be in a swimsuit) with your weight loss goals and measurements and I will post…or just register on the sight, shoot me an e-mail that you’re registering for The Challenge (sweetpotatopie07@gmail.com) and you can post the info yourself. You can then update every two weeks or however often you see fit.

I refuse to be fat at 30.

Besides Ms. Tracy can’t be the only skinny chick on the blog.

LOL.

Stay tuned.

  1. Tracy,
    I logged onto your blog to track your weight loss progress since I haven’t checked in for a while and am sorry to hear about your recent troubles. I know from experience that dealing with all of that family drama is difficult and exhausting. I am glad to see that you have begun an 8 week challenge and I know that you will succeed!

    As for me, in addition to creating Healthy Not Skinny, I have recently created a new blog called Eat The Foods You Love. Here you will find recipes to help you eat well and stay fit and believe me you will find more than lettuce and carrot sticks on this site!

    I hope it will help you to get back on track and lose those 30 pounds.

    Be well,

    Jeanine
