Missouri 60 Beginning Photos

June 20, 2009 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

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!

    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.

    Pictures are great. The best part is the big smile on your face!

    The Missouri 60 sounds like a great goal and challenge. Ill be checking back to see how it goes.

    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.
