A Flabuless Fashion Parade - Video

I promised you awhile ago a peek at all my favorite outfits! So without further or do here they all are…A Flabuless fashion parade celebrating my body, love of clothes and looking good!

This video is not without purpose…I hope that it will encourage all you, on your weight loss journey, that it is important to celebrate your transitioning body, not just when you are at your goal but all the way through the process! So this video is in celebration of ’shrinking booty’ as it happens! Come on…follow the trend, I would love to see your fashion parades also! Believe me…It is a heap of fun to do! But be forewarned…you may have sore tummy muscles after watching this (ie from laughing so hard!)…Oh well…it can be your abdominal exercise for today!

• @jb108 oh definately working on self-love…thats the number one thing that stops people from loosing weight…they do it for WRONG reasons #
• @jb108 I accept myself the way I am…but am too proud of myself to let me stay that way…which is why I loose weight. #
• @jb108 At first when i started on this journey it WAS for wrong reasons, to rub it into my X what he has missed out on, to be admired.. #
• @jb108 but now I am simply doing this for myself because I want to…not because everybody expects me too. #
• @jb108 sorry for the string of twitters…lol one never gives you enough room when you have something to say.. #
• @jb108 I totally agree! #
• @jb108 I like you blog…I have actually been subscribed to your rss for some time now…we started our blogs at the same time. #

• yea.thats aok…flabuless is just a persona…because in the start I didn’t want anyone knowing who I was…but of late.. #

• @jb108 I just joined your mybloglog community! we are connected now… #
• @ihealth morning ihealth! how goes thow this morning? #

• @ihealth getting motivated by other weight-loss loosers successes! #
• The only thing I hate about twitter is not being able to write full paragraphs…it leaves you so little space to say something important! #
• @ihealth thanks I would love to talk to you about it more…so that would be aok with me! #
• @KathrynElliott haha…yea true…I never was good at being succinct…hehe I like to talk too much! #

Weight-loss has caused my feet to shrink!

I made the most amazing discovery tonight… Not only has my body shrunk but whereas I used to wear size 12 wide shoes (Australian Sizeing), I am now actually a size 10!!!

OMG Losing weight has actually caused my feet to shrink… I never1 knew this was possible. I have had the most amazing night trying on size 10 shoes and low and behold they actually FIT! My friend Cherie had an empty out of her cupboard and brought me a huge selection of sexy shoes and boots which I affectionately call…CFM Boots! For those that know exactly what I am talking about…you NAUGHTY people you! and for others that have no idea…lol you probably don’t want to know!!!

But tonight was so enlightening for me…losing weight can actually cause your feet to go down in size as well! WoW!

So blow me down…I am counting this as yet another NSV (Non-Scale-Victory) Finally, I will be able to go shoe shopping here in NZ without having to order in from America! (No Joke!).

Success Story Videos

I don’t know about you but I love watching video’s about other people’s weight-loss successes. I recently published on FindingFlabuless my own before and after photo’s video presentation. I have also added quite a few of other peoples success stories to my downsize.tv website but here is a list of my favorites so far but there are heaps others there so make sure you go and visit the success stories category page…It comes under ‘diet life’

Change is Possible - misskrispy is such an inspiration! This video was showcased on the front page of diet.com. A really worthwhile watch!

Is this the craziest weight loss u have ever seen Wow! I love seeing guys loose weight too…Diet sometimes is only seen as a woman’s thing…but the benefits men receive in terms of self esteem is just as great!

So I have finally deactivated that so hopefully I will start receiving lots of comments again soon…cause I miss all you guys! I thought you had abandoned me…hehe silly me!

Oh and for all you ‘twitterers’ out there Follow me my id is @flabuless! I would love to follow you too so send me a direct message and let me know who you are!

My Before & After Photo’s To-Date

Here is my weight-loss journey so far in pictures. I started my journey at a whopping 336lbs now over 100lbs lighter I am still going but I thought I would share this update of my success to-date! Doing this presentation was actually quite eye opening for me…Its hard to believe sometimes that I have lost soooo much weight already. Its also easy to get discouraged when you hit plateaus, as I have of late, but I have been reminded today that what I have achieved so far is more than enough motivation/inspiration to keep me going to my goal of 178lbs. By the way…I made it up my big hill this afternoon and only had to stop and sit down once…almost at the top. It feels so great to get back into exercise!

There seems to be a problem with this video loading for some people…If you have difficulties you can also view it at the following places:

Who wants to Win a Bike?

I told you all I had some exciting news to report. Well, here it is!… FindingFlabuless, in conjunction with Lipton Diet White Tea and Flabuless’s new website DownsizeTV are excited to announce the Lipton Win-A-Bike Competition.

Lipton’s diet white tea is not only a yummy and refreshing thirst quencher on a hot smoldering day but is also good for you because it is rich in protective antioxidants. Now, I don’t usually like diet drinks…they are usually too bland for my overactive taste buds…however, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried the Peach Papaya flavour though it was subtle and smooth in flavour it hit my palate with a punch and left a pleasant and refreshing after taste which is always a good sign in a diet drink. You guys know me…I wouldn’t blog about something that I don’t believe in but this is such a great product that I was ecstatic when Lipton approached me to run this competition for all my readers. So without further or do…here is how you can enter:

There are a number of things you can do to enter this competition actually…

1. You can blog about the competition with links back to this post in findingflabluless and also downsizeTV. This sort of blogging entry would count for 2 entries to win the bike.

2. You can register at downsizeTV and submit your first video cast (which can be streamed in from any of the major video servers such as youtube, revver, bliptv etc) video blogging about your weight-loss or health and fitness journey and why you need the bike and deserve to win- that would be worth 5 entries. *make sure you submit it under the ‘Lipton Win a Bike’ Category.

3 You could do both of the above for the full 7 entries into the competition.

4. And as a bonus, on the downsizeTV site people can rate your video and the 3 top rated entry videos will get 10 bonus entries, 6 bonus entries and 4 bonus entries respectively from highest to lowest…so for maximum chance at winning the bike get as many people to register on the downsizeTV site, and rate your video entry, as possible.

This competition will run for 4 weeks and the winner will be drawn at 8pm NZST on the 6th of June I will be video casting this event for everyone to see. Please note-it is ONLY open to US residents. The total prize package will include:

• a Lipton branded Fuji Crosstown 2.0 bike
• 5 coupons for a free 1.5 Liter Bottle of Lipton White Iced Tea
• $75 check for professional bike assembly

Be sure to write comments below this post so that I am aware of your entries and submissions into this competition so that I can check and keep records. Any questions just holler…I hope this will be an interactive and exciting time for us all. I wish you all good luck! and look forward to receiving your entries!

Flabuless

Disclaimer: The Pepsi/Lipton Partnership will provide a check for $75.00 to be used for professional assembly of all Lipton Fuji bicycles awarded. Neither Pepsi Co. nor Unilever is liable for any injuries, damages or accidents that may result from the receipt, assembly or use of this bicycle.
