CHANCE for 1LB Advantage!

Well, here it is....it's your time for a one pound advantage...what you'll need to do is complete the following questions, submit them to me on Saturday (or earlier) prior to 5pm.  Whoever completes this questionaire will be entered for a raffle of a one pound advantage. Not only will you gain the benefit of a one pound advantage, but you will learn a lot of information that will help you on your weight loss journey. The answers are all within the question, so you will click on the link provided.  It will take some time to complatet this.  AND, #2, doesn't have a link because there are so mnay sites...I want you to tell me what you think.  Best of luck to you all.

1. Calculate your BMI? (see link)
2. How many days a week do you need to do strength training? cardiovascular training?  How well do YOU do with both of these?
3. How many calories and fat grams are in Olive Garden salad? breadsticks?
4. What is your BMR?  What the heck is BMR, anyways?
5. Inside the pyramid.   Pick out one truth that surprises you most from each color of the food pyramid.
6. Flip through the "20 worst restaurant foods in America" and tell me the "Worst Dessert @ a sit down retaurant"?
7. Since starting this challenge...how much % of weight have you lost so far? (Take the amount of weight lost divided into your starting weight, then multiply by 100)
8. Why does water help you lose weight?
9. How many calories do you burn with low impact aerobics for 45 minutes
10. Reflection Question: In the past, why did weight loss not work for you, why did you not get to your goal?  (You don't have to share this answer, I just want to get you thinking.)

I wish you all the best of luck this week...try something new if you are getting bored with your current workout.  There's always the choice of joining a class, starting a lifting program, or at the gym, ask a trainer to show you something you would never try.  This week I started the weight machienes...a trainer at the gym kept telling me "you need to do some weights with all this running" so, finally, I added weights to my workout.  It's amazing how weak I really am...and amazing how sore I am too.  But, it's true, muscle mass does weight more than fat, but it's going to be more tone, you'll be able to lift groceries, kids, etc a lot easier with stronger muscles.  AND, lifting weights helps you burn more calories....try it out and let me know what you think.

Have fun & learn lots!
