First Crochet Project for My New Body

My first project is the "Hot Mama Swimsuit & Coverup" designed by Tammy Hildebrand. It was published in the July 2007 issue of Crochet Magazine. I haven't been able to find a picture online of it yet- will post when I do. I am using Adrienne Vittadine Emma which is a cotton/viscose/silk yarn. The color is a rich deep red with chocolate tones. I can't wait to get started!

The Challenge

I have this idea, it's pretty simple. I want to lose weight. I love to crochet. Much of what I would like to make for myself would NOT look good on me at this point. So here's my idea: I am going to choose the patterns I love most and crochet them in the REALISTIC goal size that I choose and over the next several months, I'll work my way into them.I am going to follow the Body for life program. Here's the hitch (which as a crocheter will kill me). I can only buy yarn if I am staying true the program. Cheat and I lose out on the yarns I'm dying to use. Using a blog is just my way of staying accountable to the program. I hate the idea of posting pics of myself, but I want to lose weight more and need a way to stay motivated. I start January 2nd. I have 3 small children and a busy life. This isn't going to be easy!
