Vivian Potter, a Painesville resident, wants arms that look like Michelle Obama's as she approaches her 51st birthday. She said the accountability of a public weight loss contest will do her good as she gets on track for a healthier life.

day before 1st weigh-in

Ok, it's Friday!!! Woo Hoo!! Tomorrow is the big weigh-in! I"m almost nervous at this point. Kind of like taking a final exam at school. Did I study hard enough? I hope I know all the answers!! This one should be simple, step on a scale, see if the number went down.. Still struggling with the fact that I've been faithful with this contest, and in my mind I should've at least lost 20lbs by now for all of my hard work and efforts!! I know that's not going to happen, and I will be happy with a lower number, but still have to remind myself that this is a slow process, a lifestyle change. Those don't come overnight. 
    Went to pick up a prescription the other day. Told myself it was my birthday, and I was going to buy a candy bar for myself, since it was my birthday, and I deserved it. As I got to the check out, the cashier looked at me and asked if I was the lady in the paper! Of course, I'm very carefully putting the candy bar back on the shelf without her seeing me, and answered "Yes I am!", Boy, talk about accountability!!! I"m glad, that happened, I didn't need that stupid candy bar anyways....But I did deserve to have it just to let you know!!!! LOL
   I'm reading the other contestants blogs, and it seems like we're all trying our best, and trying to remain positive with our work outs and weightloss, I wish all of us good luck tomorrow, and no matter what, let's continue to be postitive, and keep up the good work!! Looking forward to seeing everyone again!!
