The dreaded before picture and measurements

Wednesday, March 26, 2014

The day y'all all have been dreading!!! Before pictires and taking your measurements. Remember they are before pictures for a reason! I also like to see inches lost vs pounds lost on the scale. 

That being said I will be taking my taking my pictures and measurements on Sunday. The challenge starts Tuesday. 

Tips- on pictures
• don't smile- I wasn't happy with the way I looked so why be happy in the picture? Show that camera your pissed off face!! Grrrrrrr! 

•don't suck in
• side shots on both sides.
• front shot
• back shot
• gut shot not tucked into your pants or undies. 
* I have a gut... And I am amazed at the shrinking in the pooch area. So you all know what I'm talking about... If your pooch hangs over snap a picture of that. You might not want to and it will probably depress you looking back at the pictures but remember.... That's your biggest competitor! YOU! I'm here to help and cheer you on and hope to get a little motivation myself. Just remember everyone starts somewhere. 

• Measurement Tips•

• Measure the following•
• calves
• thighs
• butt 
• hips 
• gut/ pudge 
• natural waist
• arms
• neck 
• shoulders

I was amazed when I noticed 6 inches on each thigh gone.... Holy hell that's a ruler length! 

You might not be in the best of moods when you finish this first step towards the challenge but it's one step forward.

Mrs. Rogers 




Look at that gut! Don't "tuck" it in your pants during your pictures. I'm totally ashamed of that hot mess but I got there on my own. 

Some of my progress I've never showed anyone. No judgment zone here.... Don't be an ass. Please and Thank you. 


See!!! No happy face!! I use the app PicFrame for all of my collages. 

* this has taken a lot of guts for me to post these pictures. Make fun if you must, do whatever makes you feel better about yourself if needed. But don't be mean or hurtful.  Words hurt just as much as actions. 

Just a southern girl trying to get healthy and lose some weight. I let myself go over the years... And now it's time to help motivate others and motivate myself. 

Xoxo

Please and Thank You!

I would like to start off by yelling really loud... THANKS Y'ALL!!!!! ;) Thank you for keeping me motivated and please keep the support coming! I've received emails, texts, fb messages ect... All from people that encourage me to keep up the hard work! Wow! I'm not even going to lie... I get the warm fuzzies inside!! People saying that because of little ole me they're changing their life style too... Buying the Magic Bullet...Starting the smoothies... Squatting!! #Squatsquad No pressure to keep up the hard work... Lol! Because of the encouragement I look forward to each day of this journey I'm taking and super pumped to have a little MeggyThree3 army along with me! Makes me tear up a little! :) 

I have always needed an accountability partner... Someone to keep me on track and make sure I didn't slip away when things got tough. Not someone to boss me around either or make me feel bad about my decisions. Someone to encourage me to keep going!

 That someone is you all! 

I'm stretching my arms out far giving everyone a huge hug!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 

I have opened my journey to the public... So I can't let anyone down! The main person is ME!! I'm not letting myself down! 

I'm getting healthy and fit NOT SKINNY! 

So... Please keep the encouragement coming and Thank You for supporting me on this journey!

XOXO,
Meg

Operation New Body!

Friday, May 31, 2013

Today marks 182 days until I become Mrs. Rogers! I am getting healthy and fit and creating a new me! 

Lets start with my problem... I love food and I loved Coca Cola! And my lovely fiancĂ© eats like complete crap! I blame his horrible eating habits and influence on my weight gain! Haha! Just kidding I did this to myself! But the fella eats nothing but junk and weights 157 pounds... Barf! 

When we started dating 3 1/2 years ago I weighed 178 pounds. December 2012 I reached my higher weight gain at 233!! I shed a tear every time I think about how much I've gained. I started getting really strict recently with getting healthy and fit! Why now start getting serious?? Oh you know I have 6 months until I say "I do" on the beach in St. Thomas,Virgin Islands. ON THE BEACH!! Which means I'll be in baiting suits also! Eeek! 

Welcome to my journey of getting healthy for me before I change my last name.
