...Nikki!!!
Okay all, I need to kick your butts....this less then 1% of your body mass lost is not going to happen this next week...week two is one thing, but we need to really step up and CHANGE our lives! This is OUR workouts, OUR life, and WE are the only ones to take action, got it! Really, a lot of you are teetering on a "tens"....are you afraid to get to the next bracket of tens? You deserve this, you all signed up for me to help motivate you so, here I am. Do you need me to review what your eating? Your workouts? I'm here to help you! I hope that next week we are above 1% for weight lost; and those that are teetering, I hope you make it into the next bracket- push yourself hard this week. Congrats to Nikki, Lynsey, Nancy & Melissa for losing above 1% this week! Remember in week one, when I asked you to set a goal for this. At the end of this week, we will be half way done with this round...will you be half way at your goal for the eight weeks?
CHALLENGE: This week I challenge you to drink HALF your body weight in ounces of water, everyday! Yes, you will be going to the bathroom a lot. Anyone who does this, must tell me they did along with their next weigh in for recognition.

**The ultimate winner, MUST take a picture of their scale to show me their weight, at the conclusion of this session, as this is all based on the honor system**
Also, I would like to talk about calories. As we know, weight loss is eating less, and moving more. But, where should you be for your caloric intake, based on how often you are on your feet throughout the day- are you eating too much? or too little? Here is a site about how many calories you will need as well as calculators that can be used. This site is very overwhelming, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Finally, I need a "shout out" on a voting poll; please let me know whether you would like to participate or not again with doing our version of 'The Biggest Loser'. Since we are just about half way over with this, I want to know, shall we do this again for another round? If so, we could try to get "the pot" bigger with more people by starting now! VOTE NOW by leaving a comment.

I would love to do this for another 6 weeks. Since joining our version of The Biggest Loser I may not have lost as much weight as I hoped for, but I am losing inches. I get frustrated when it doesn't show up on the scale, but then I realize that my clothes feel differently and that is great motavation. I am working out and can feel a difference in my body. In the past three weeks I have thought about everything I eat and I haven't done that in three years or more! I love knowing that others are dealing with the same challenges and we support each other. I hope that others will share their feelings about their success and challenges. I also hope we can invite others to join in as well.
ReplyDeleteGood luck everyone! Lynda
Yes, I would like to do this again! I know this is hard on Lynsey to keep track of everything, and I am making more of an effort of what it is that I am eating! I have been writing down everything..and I feel somewhat better, and I know I have a long way to go..but one day at a time! Thanks for everyone for expressing your challenges. Keep up the good work! Nancy
ReplyDeleteI would like to do this again as well! I have been paying more attention as to what goes in my mouth, calories and working out, which I had stopped doing again. I am a little irritated with my progress, but it is kind of my own fault too. Last week I didn't write everything down as religiously as I was before...so this week is a new week and I plan on getting over 1%! Lynsey I know that you truly care about this and I want you to know that I appreciate the efforts you are putting in, hopefully this week I will make you proud! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI would definately like to do another round! I'm going to work myself hard this week to get above the 1% and make you proud Lynsey! Of course I'll do it to make me proud and healthier too =) I really do appreciated all you've done so far. You've been holding us all accountable and it has definately made a difference with me. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do another round. But as stated above, I think you are putting a lot of work into this. You should do what other trainers do and take a cut of the money for all that you put into this! I am on the "frustrated" boat too. In the beginning it came off quickly, but weeks 2 and 3 were a real struggle and this week I can feel the depression setting in. It's hard to try so hard and not see the results (on the scale...although I did get into a pair of pants I haven't worn for 6 months, so I know good things are happening). But one of my friends took a pic of me last night and I just hate the way I look. So, I have a long ways to go and would enjoy another round. At least I know someone other than me is working just as hard to get this weight off themselves. That inspires me to keep chugging along!
