Missouri 60 Beginning Photos

in Weight Loss

Because I am a sucker for challenges I am doing yet another one.  Well, sort of.  It’s a challenge Tony from The Anti-Jared decided to do called the Missouri 60.  Basically it is all about SHOWING results.  (Missouri is the Show Me State, ha, ha, haha.)  So the idea is to take a pic now (before June 30) and then another in two months (around August 30).  Show everyone how far you have come in 2 months.

So here are some pictures for ya.  I know, you love my layered clothes, right? I couldn’t decide what to wear because most of my clothes are all way too big, so I chose something that actually shows my body off.  And I always wear layers anyway, so hence the multiple layered goodness.

tummy I got my mom to take the pictures for me and in the first one she cut off my head.  Hahaha.

hahahaAnd here I am posing, which was actually one of many random pics I took while my mom was being silly and “playing photographer.”

And the final pic which is the one that I will use to compare with the one in two months. Terrible hair issues going on, but that’s what I get for taking pictures so late and just not caring to brush before hand.

Are any of you participating? I can’t wait to see your pics and progress! Make sure you let me know where I can see them!

You’re a natural!

I hope to get my husband to take my pictures this afternoon, but it may not happen because he’s really sick and miserable. I’ve still got more than a week though, so I’m not worried. But I’m definitely in the challenge!

Hair issues? I wish I was half as photogenic as you.

I’m trying to work up the courage to actually take a picture and not immediately delete it. I think I’m going to do the Missouri 60 though. I like the idea of focusing on pictures instead of a number on the scale.

You have a beautiful infectious smile. This challenge will be fun!

Good luck. See you in 60.

You are so photogenic! I don’t know how anyone reading this post couldn’t be happy after just seeing the smile on your face in these photos. I think the Missouri 60 is a great idea — I wish you the best of luck with it.

Aww, thanks guys! It was a good excuse to take pictures. And the hair issue – I always want it the same on both sides but it flips and curls and take a life of its own even after straightened.

And I don’t really see this as a challenge, just an opportunity to take stock and measure progress. :)

I really like your site. I have had trouble losing the weight recently. It was all so easy at the beginning when the weight was rolling off. But things have slowed down a bit.

Your site has renewed my courage to struggle on down that happy road of merky weight loss.

Good luck from me too.
