in Motivation and Support
I'd like to start a weight loss challenge for everyone including myself seeing as I packed on 20lbs, last summer I started a 10 week challenge and it was like a family where we provided eachother with support and motivation, tips, etc. I don't kno how long this challenge will be I'm open to suggestions, and I'm looking for a way to make things more interesting to keep everyone focused, I'd love feedback. Weigh ins are every tuesday, I'd like to go by fat percentage and weight, and also measurements. Its extra rewarding knowing how many inches uve lost also. Before and after pics are a good memory too :) if ur interested jus post or message me, I'm doin my personal training course to become licensed, so if u have any workout or nutrition questions or if u just need motivation msg me. Good luck.

Weigh in starting weight:
Fat %:
Arms:
Waste:
Legs:
Chest:

If u have any suggestions on something to add I'd love to hear it, if you just want to go by weight that's fine too :) I just like recording everything because one week u mite not lose weight but u mite lose an inch, just extra motivation.

    So I'm thinking that once a week ill throw some nutrition and exercise tips, if ud like to add anything ur welcome to do so :)

    Tips:

    •drink lots of green tea (I add splenda to mine so it tastes really good surprisingly and its good for u and has no calories) this will increase ur metabolism.

    •dont deprive urself, sure if u only eat 1000 calories a day ull lose weight BUT once u start eating again ull gain the weight and then some since doing this slows down ur metabolism which will result in gaining weight quicker than u did before. SO DON'T DO IT!

    •try to exercise every day even if its just for 30 mins.

    •dont just do cardio, or don't just do strength training. Each go hand in hand, u need to incorporate both

    Well there's a few tips for this week, I hope it helps a little bit. If u have any questions on anything feel free to post :)

    New comers are always welcome. And I'm thinking we jus check in here every wednesday and jus write out starting weight and all that and include ur goal. We can definatly include some workouts on here. And what does everyone think, how long do we want to set the challenge for? Last summer I did a 10 week challenge but its up to everyone on here :)

    I think a weekly check in is great. I can't do a daily thing.
