So, I've calculated our numbers and have the cold hard facts for each of us. Here's the digits we want to drop ;-) as well as our total percentage of weight we'd like to lose and how many pounds per month we'll need to shed in order to meet our goal weight. Now ladies, these are just goals we've given ourselves to keep us motivated. A number we want to see on the scale. Some of our goals are a pretty hard-core (I'm raising my hand!) but I'm sure that each and every one of us are going to do the very best we can to meet that goal. And having each other as a support network is going to make it that much easier! Now remember, if we don't reach our personal goal at the end of the 6 months, it doesn't mean that we lose the competition. Whoever ends up losing the highest percentage will be 'The Biggest Loser.' (Que the confetti drop! :-)
So, without further adieu....
Keep making good choices and STAY MOTIVATED! Good luck to everyone!

Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for all the work you have put into this. I really appreciate it.
I will tell you I am not doing good this week AT ALL. I am a little disappointed in myself that I can't quite get my head in the game. It is SO frustrating to me. I am hoping that this will really help me stay focused as I will be on here everyday probably even several times!!!! My goal next week is to try and start running everyday. I hope I do!!!! lol Thanks again! Rachel
Hi Rachel! No need to beat yourself up over not doing as well as you'd hoped your first week. You should pat yourself on the back for what you have done - you've committed yourself to our lil' Biggest Loser program. That's commendable! It's really hard to change at first. Isn't there some statistic out there that says you have to do something every day for 28 days before it becomes a habit? So, change takes time. But you'll get there. I know you can! We all know you can :-)
ReplyDeleteHere's one quick tid-bit of advice for you regarding the running...Don't try to do too much too quickly. I tried running a while back and ended up with shin splints. Ouch! Also, one of my 'crazy runner friends' told me a good way to start is to run in intervals. Instead of telling yourself you're going to run for 20 minutes straight, start out with a 5 min warm up walk, 1 min of running, 2 min of walking & continue until you get to your 20 mins. The following week (or every 2 weeks), increase your running time and decrease your walking time.
But I think you said you used to run, so I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir :-)
And thank you sooooo much for thanking me! I'm actually finding this whole 'blog thing' kinda fun!
Hang in there! I know you can do it! See you next Sunday!
Okay, So I found a really neat website for weight loss tracking! Its called Loseit.com and I just thought it was really neat! check it out!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel! I'll go ahead and add that one to the sidebar!
