I may have started something.

The SAME OUTFIT DIET!

Okay, I think I have a couple more girls ready to start the 'Same Outfit Diet'.  The total just keeps growing.  I may have started something totally crazy.  Can't you just hear it.

"What diet are you on?",

"Low Carb",

"Southbeach",

"Liquid",

"Same Outfit Diet".

Its day 122 in this outfit and I am down 43.8 pounds.  Happy dance is being done.  I can honestly say that my weight lose with my before and during pictures has encouraged more people than I can name to start a diet.  I am trying to continue to encourage each of you, but sometimes with 5 children and my day to day schedule it gets crazy.  But just know that I am always wondering about you guys and how many pounds you are down.  Keep it up!  Summer is coming.  Remember, "Nothing tastes as good, as being thin feels". ~~~Although Chocolate Pie is really close to mind~~~

Making this outfit sexy!

How do I make this outfit sexy!

Lets see, in about a month, hubby and I will be celebrating our 17 year anniversary.  This is something we are both very proud of.  17 years and 5 wonderful children.  YEAH!!!  Anyhow, I will obviously not be losing 16 pounds in a month, so I will be wearing this outfit if we go out for our anniversary.  His comment this morning looking at me in it was "That outift looks like it is about to fall off of you."  I told him luckily it has a drawstring in the pants or it would be. 

I am thinking of cutting the pants off into Capris when the weather seems to be staying warmer.  Capris aren't my idea of sexy though.  Then again, what ever I do to this outfit I'll have to wear until I get to my goal.  Oh well, the sexy outfit will have to be what is underneath.  WOW-this could be fun.  I need to go visit Victoria and her secrets and get a new outfit for my new slimming body.

And BTW, I was happy to see that the scales stayed the same today.  I can not believe I am 16.2 pounds away from my goal. 

My exciting news from yesterday

What A Day!

WOW!!!  What a day I had yesterday.  As I stated, my mother called me and talked me into doing something outrageous yesterday.  Well, here it is.  I stood in line for over 6 hours yesterday with aprox 4,000 people to be interviewed for the show.

Guess what?  I made it to the final level for interviewing.  YEAH!!!  What does this mean?  Um, I have no idea.  I would say my chances are still pretty slim at getting on the show.  Even making it that far, they just thank you for coming and send you away.  But, they do have my application.

I of course wore my same outfit with my sign on the back.  I am sure out of 4,000 people I was the only one that could say they had been in the same outfit for 120 days.  LOL  Anyhow, you only had 20 seconds to sell yourself and let me tell you this is hard.  I wanted to talk about so many things.  I feel as though I have some interesting things I could have shared.  I wanted to talk about my candle business and how we give a portion of our proceeds to couples fighting infertility and how we have helped many couples to date.  In fact, the last couple we help even had their baby on my birthday. Its just a neat story in itself.  But I decided to just focus on the whole not changing my outfit thing.  I mean come on, it is pretty outrageous.  120 days wearing the same outfit EVERYDAY until I lose 60 pounds.  Can't you  just see the models walking out wearing my outfit?  Or better yet revealing my weight lose on Deal Or No Deal and taking my outfit off to reveal the NEW ME on tv.  Again, things you just can't mention in 20 seconds.

Anyhow, that was my exciting, but very tiring day.  My back was killing me.  I ate breakfast and then did not eat again until we got home around 9:00 p.m.  The scales saw 2.6 pounds less of me today, which I know is only temp because of yesterday, but heck, I'll go ahead and log it.

Oh and believe me, if I ever get a phone call, I'll be sure to let you all know.  All in all it was something to add to the 'list of things I have done'.

Who is playing this trick?

I get it, it is April 1st, thats why my scales are stuck.  LOL  I am totally okay with my stuck scales (its been two days), but it just has to be an April Fools joke. 

Okay, so I am off for an interesting day.  I'llpost all my fun details later this evening.  Wish me luck!

Tomorrow will be exciting!

Excited about tomorrow!

I am going to be doing something exciting tomorrow.  It will be something different in my 'same outfit'.  My mother told me about it and I don't want to jinx anything, so I will just say - check back tomorrow evening and I'll let you see what I did.   :)

Places I wore this outfit!

YES, I really wear it EVERYWHERE!

Okay, so people keep asking me "Do you really wear that outfit everyday?"  The answer is simple-Yes I do.  Just to list a few places I have wore it besides your normal everyday places:

     Christmas Parties

     New Years Eve Party

     Birthday Parties

     Church

     Anniversary Party

     Easter Sunday

     Working out

     Talking with Business Contacts

These are just a few.  I have also wore it wet a few times.  The hardest part sometimes is waiting for it to dry.  LOL

Picture of my sign!

My sign!

Okay, many of you have asked me if I wear a sign on my back.  Well, a few weeks ago I started doing just that.  I can't believe how many people have visited my blog.  Kind of neat, kind of embarrasing. 

So, here is the picture of my sign.  Thinking I need to add a place to put my weight lose.  I'm beginning to be known as, 'the lady thats doing that same outfit diet'.  LOL

Picture of how much weight I have lost!

WOW!

I can not believe I have lost this much weight.  It is about equal to 33 20oz bottles.  This is some heavy weight.

Before/During Pics

Pictures!

I can not believe I am doing this, but I am going to post these in my blog.  They have been hiding in the back pages of my galley.  I still have 19 pounds to go and a lot of work to do to get this preggo lower belly to go away, but it is progress.

So I am very embarrased, but here we go.  Oh and I was down to 153.8 this morning.  Glad I skipped the cake.

It is over!

WHEEEW!

The partys are officially over.   YEAH!!!  And I made it SO FAR!  I have not cheated once.  But let me show you what is looking at me.

This is from our little baker here in town (Darcie), and let me say she makes the BEST cakes.  They are so moist.  I mean you can walk in the kitchen and just smell this.  I so want to eat a piece.  OMG, a piece of cake with a tall glass of milk.  If I were not dieting I would probably have started on my 4th piece for the evening and would be having it for breakfast tomorrow.

OKAY!  WILL POWER!!  I just have to force my kids to eat it until it is gone.  I have 5 kids (four of which can have cake), they have each had a piece since I took this picture, so by the time we do night time snack and breakfast, it should be about gone.  Nothing like healthy food for the kiddos!  LOL

BTW-hubby confessed to having a piece behind my back.  He has no will power when it comes to cake.
