"Resist The Dish" (you know the one filled with candy?!)

I just read that the average woman will gain 7-10lbs in the next 60 days!!! WHAT!!! I don't want that for myself (or YOU!) I want us to be SLIMMER through DECEMBER! So I came up with a plan: A 45 Day Support Group and Fitness Challenge to "Resist The Dish" (that INSIDIOUS little Tempter who invariably, YEAR after YEAR RUINS my weight loss momentum!).

Here's what it IS:
45 days long (Starts MONDAY - ends December 13th)
Free (#1!)
Accountability (all of us working as a team)
Motivating (I won't QUIT on you! Don't QUIT on me!)
Challenging (Workout, Eat Right, RESIST Temptation)
Online (Real time through Facebook - whenever temptation arises)
Private (Invite only, approved by me, "Friends" don't see posts)
Knowledgeable (Tips, Recipes, Resources, Food Lists, Help)
Fun (Videos, Quotes, Challenges of the Day)

What it ISN'T:
A place for excuses (your best is always enough)
A place for fitness perfection (mistakes mean we're learning)
Exclusive or limiting (use any exercise, any program you want)
Hit and miss (we will be connecting everyday to keep each other going)

If you've done a Challenge with me before, then you know how uplifting it can be - if you haven't, then accept my PERSONAL INVITATION to band together with us; here is a group of people who CARE. I want you and me to be proud of ourselves the day after Christmas - no regrets. I will NOT let the Holiday Candy Dish win this year! I will not let the toughest nutritional season of the year undo all of my hard work. Let's do this together. If you don't want to GAIN 10lbs these next 45 days and INSTEAD want to be SLIMMER in DECEMBER, comment below with, "I WILL RESIST THE DISH"!

~Marcella (Wife, Widow, Mom - NEVER QUIT!)

**I accept friend requests too - no one should have to go through the weight loss journey alone!**

    I WILL RESIST THE DISH!!!

    I am pretty terrified of the holiday season. I want to be fit and healthy and enjoy myself, but not fall into repeated over-indulging or excuses.

    I acknowledge that I will be hungrier as it gets colder, and that I will be less and less excited about getting up and going for a run. I will try to keep a ready supply of healthy snacks, and to reward my early runs with warm, luscious lululemon gear :P

    I don't mean to be rude or anything, or touch on a sore subject, but you seem to identify yourself as a widow a lot (your 1st post and on your profile), despite having a husband, or is this an error?

    I will resist Marcella, because I smell something in Denmark and feel I am being dished something I may not want on my plate. Can't put my finger on it so I merely point out this opposite status claim trying to claim all the titles for what purpose I'm not sure yet.

    Oh found it. Partway down the OP's profile page.

    "I can honestly say that before finding Team Beachbody- I had tried it all! I BELIEVE in these programs - THEY DO WORK! You have to put in the time and YOU have to have the desire to want to change your life, BUT, if you bring me your desire, I can help you achieve YOUR goals. I want to make your wish and your dreams come true like mine have! Together we can Achieve UR Dreams!"

    This was fun...let's do it again sometime.

    Wow Ladies. Ouch. Really ouch. I lost my husband two years ago. I remarried last year. Just because you remarry doesn't mean that the loss of a 9 year marriage to your best friend doesn't cause a huge change and effect on your life. It was losing my husband that made me get serious with wanting to change my life - that is why I identify with that status.

    I am not ashamed of being a Beachbody coach. The programs do help me - I'm a stay at home mom and without being able to do their fitness programs at home, I wouldn't be able to workout at all and they did change my life. My Resist the Dish challenge is a free group - no strings attached. I don't require any fitness programs from beachbody, you can do whatever you like - eat whatever you want. It is a place to get support for people who are all trying to lose weight. Not just those willing to give me their credit card.

    Try to remember ladies that i am real person with real feelings, okay? Your comments really hurt. I am not out selling stuff to people.

    You just mentioned that not only those who give you their credit cards get support. That implies that those who do give their credit card get support. Then you say you're not out selling stuff. Again choose ONE. You either ARE or ARE NOT selling stuff. You can't be both.
