Lose 10lbs in 5 weeks Challenge!!!

OMG! I am sooo excited you will all do this with me!


2011 is gonna be a good year! We are all gonna be 10lbs smaller come febuary! Winter weight won't weigh us down!

What's everybody's game plan???

I'm going to try my hardest to do the 30 day shred, eat low carbs and stay within my MFP recommended caloric intake!

Lets all weigh-in first thing tomorrow! We should weigh in weekly to keep ourselves on track!

Bikini season is right around the corner!!! I want to be the hot, fit 29 year old on the beach!

YOU SUCK 2010!!

We have to keep eachother motivated.

Some tips:
1- Drink LOTS of water!!!
2- Its cold outside, exercising will warm us up!!!
3-"You live with the pain of discipline or the pain of regret." Exercise isn't always fun and you're not always psyched to go do it but many things you have to do on a weekly basis aren't fun. Who likes paying bills?
4.Its hard work but the benefit is so worth it!
5. eat your calories... don't drink them.



I've really been thinking about exercise and calories a LOT lately. In my head, I keep comparing exercise and calories to money. Yes money.
I just start thinking about how I have no problem buying something because "Wow.. its only a dollar! I'll buy 2", but other things i'm like "Omg... this is $300?!?!?! for a lousy purse... yeah.. I don't think so.." or if it is $300 and i want it REALLY bad... I will work really hard to save for it and pick up overtime so i don't go into debt.
Calories are the same thing. Exercising is our overtime. Its how we "earn" more money... aka.. calories! I have no problem lately eating baby carrots "wow... they are only 3 calories...! " or drinking water becasue water is free... free to drink and free of calories! Then I have been changing my thought on things like the single red baron pizza... 400 calories. so yummy, not that filling and NOT worth the "money" aka calories. If I am going out to dinner or making a big dinner at home... I work some overtime ( exercise) to "pay off" the big meal.
I have found thinking like this more beneficial to me and what I put in my mouth. I'm feeling fuller and not guilty. I'm really starting to see a difference.

So. let's work some OVERTIME baby! come Febuary we can all go shopping for some new clothes!

I would like to start a challenge to get us motivated to lose the holiday weight! We have all come sooooo far. Lets not let the holidays regress our weight loss achievements!

today is Sunday, December 19,2010. I am challenging myself to lose 10 lbs in 5 weeks... which is Jan. 23,2011!!!! I actualy haven't gained any holiday weight... BUT with 3 family Christmas dinner lurking ahead... I don't want to start gaining weight now!

2011 is the year for me! 2010 can SUCK IT! I'm done with it! I'm getting married in 2011! January 28th is my 29th birthday. My birthday also means its time to renew my drivers license! I am promising myself that I can not lie on my drivers license this time!!

So I am looking for some people to keep me motivated and also join me to lose 10lbs in 5 weeks. Hopefully it can be done. I know this is a lot of weight in a little bit of time.... BUT we can do it!

Challenge accepted.... who is with me???
