Online Motivation & Inspiration

Social media is a great place to find & share ideas, motivation & inspiration for your personal journey and weightloss journey.

If you feel comfortable sharing a social media to connect with your team members, then go ahead & then get connected with the others that share.

For example, my Pinterest where I pin a ton of healthy recipes & weightloss motivation is at: http://www.pinterest.com/mysunnychica/


Are there any blogs you follow, facebook pages, instagram pages, etc. that you have found helpful, then please share them here.

For example, I follow:

http://instagram.com/cleansimpleeats
https://www.facebook.com/Peak313


Bonus Points: Tweet or connect on something like Facebook or Instagram with a Biggest Loser trainer, former contestant, the Biggest Loser facebook page, or something similar. Bonus point for if you receive a response back to your post :) Just include a link or pic of it for the bonus points.

You could post/tweet and brag about your team's weightloss as of 9/11-10/8.

Warriors - 50 pounds
Calorie Killers - 64.5 pounds
Sole Trainers - 61 pounds
Western Allstars - 15.5 pounds (we were missing a ton of weigh-ins this week, so can't say for sure)

    I try to pin some healthy recipes and fitness things. I follow a lot of cool people that do health things such as Heidi Powell and MyPlateRecipes
    http://www.pinterest.com/lifeisspiffy/.

    I also follow a ton of people on twitter. I think I follow all of the trainers from this year, Jillian Michaels, the Biggest Loser official twitter, and Alison Sweeney (host). I totally got a tweet back from Alison Sweeney, not sure if that counts for a bonus point.

    We're kicking butt for weightloss pounds. Go team!

    I am not a huge fan of facebook, and I don't use Twitter or Pinterest, but I do belong to a group on facebook where we post our accountability for weight loss. It's a private group so I don't want to post a link to it, though.

    I do have the Biggest Loser show page "liked" on facebook so I get the updates and pictures from them.

    Olivia Ward said to me in her live chat congrats on losing 2.9 lbs and that that's awesome in her last live chat. She knows how much weight I lost because i tweeted her how much weight I have lost with the Biggest Loser Boot camp because i tweeted her before her live chat started.
    This is for the bonus point.

    Also Olivia and Hannah purple team BL season 11 have a youtube channel :

    http://www.youtube.com/user/myfitspiration

    They give really helpful tips with weight loss and they give recipes and they give beauty tips and a bunch of other helpful tools. :) Does this count for the Online Motivation & Inspiration point?

    I am on Facebook and MFP. I am not on any other social media sights. I Liked Hungry Girl, Jamie Olivier, 100 Days of Real Food, The Biggest Loser, Skinny MS, and MFP.

    I am also very impressed that we as a group have lost close to 65lbs! I am finding this group very motivating. It will be sweater weather soon! I am hoping to be at my goal weight when bathing suit weather rolls around again!

    Bonus Point - Connect with former trainer: I'm part of Jillian's 4% DietBet right now: http://www.dietbetter.com/games/50747
    It's a pretty interesting concept. If you haven't heard of DietBet, go check it out if competition is your sort of motivation.
    Connect with former BL contestant: I really felt a connection with Francelina and we are FB friends... I love reading her posts and she recently went through excess skin removal surgery. What an amazing journey she has had.

    ^ To be continued if they message me back

    I have FB if anyone wants to connect with me on there. My friends and I post a lot about fitness/healthy food, especially from a scientific perspective since most of us are scientists. I also have a few very good friends that are Les Mills instructors. We all started out 7 years ago or so with LM classes (step, rpm, pump, combat, attack) and became amazingly fit and strong. I fell off, but they've taken it to the next level and decided to get certified as instructors. They are a huge inspiration to me right now.

    Some pages/inspiration:
    My main recipe source - http://www.paleoplan.com/recipes/
    Also a good recipe source and funny blogger - http://paleomg.com/
    Les Mills crush - https://www.facebook.com/marknuubodystep
    Francy from BL - https://www.facebook.com/francelinamorillo14
    Please try baking these if you have a sweet tooth... AMAZING - http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1343968
