Weigh-in at the Hard Rock

Ever had one of those dreams when you had to give a presentation, or take a test, and you realize you forgot your pants, or aren't wearing any clothes? Your hearts racing as you realize you're standing practically naked in front of a large group of people. Well... welcome to the weigh-in at the Hard Rock for Atlanta Corporate Fight Night 9!  

When you sign up to do a fight night you sign a contract agreeing to a certain weight class. So depending on who you are you either have lose weight, gain weight, or maintain your weight. My contracted weight class that I had to be at for fight night was 130-138 pounds. When I started this journey back in December I was around 145 pounds. So I only needed to lose between five and ten pounds in ten weeks. Part of my motivation for this fight was to lose a couple more pounds and also to be in the best shape I could be in.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. It's a little daunting to think about getting in front of a room full of people and stripping down to your skivvies  The week before weigh-in I cut out protein, in addition to everything else I haven't been eating, and was drinking smooth move every night. (If you don't know what smooth move is, the name kind of tells it all, I will spare you the details).  I thought a lot about what I would be, or should I say wouldn't be wearing in front of everyone for the weigh-in.

Weigh-in (In all my glory!)

The weigh-in was a milestone for me. I found the perfect outfit I had tirelessly been looking for at Wal-Mart of all places. I went with a wonder woman outfit because I wanted to have some fun with it, plus the added bonus of if people started laughing I would think it was the outfit and not me! Topping the scale two years ago at 255 pounds  I am not confident with the way my body looks so stripping down in a crowded room is not my idea of a good time. I can honestly say when I weighed in on February 18 it's the lowest I have ever been. My goal was to weigh in at 135 pounds. I exceeded that by stepping on the scale that night and officially weighing in at 133.8 pounds. I'm proud of who I am and what I have accomplished over the past couple years and my weight loss journey has been a part of that.

Lindsey, originally of Snellville, is the Assistant Program Supervisor of the City of Decatur Athletics Department. After attending two Corporate Fight Nights and watching several friends from her women's softball league compete (and win!), Lindsey has decided to step in the ring herself! Lindsey wants "to participate in Atlanta Corporate Fight Night because [she's] seen so many inspiring transformations" as a result of the show, and she ultimately hopes she "can be the inspiration for someone else." Lindsey has been FIERCELY training at Buckhead Fight Club for this bout - see if she can keep up the Decatur Women's Sports League's 3-0 win streak at ACFN!

Kelsey, a graphic designer from Atlanta, initially started boxing just to get a good workout. However, she quickly fell in love with boxing training and was eager to learn more! Kelsey is excited to keep progressing in her boxing career with an amateur bout on ACFN 9, especially since it benefits such a great cause in the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy!
