12 WEEK "END THE YEAR" STRONG
Replies

Happy Day 1 Friends! Quote to start our challenge:
3 MONTHS FROM NOW, YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF!!
Today is all about change and improving ourselves. I have been sitting at this same weight for far too long and have just not been consistent at all. Since I started this challenge, I need to be a good role model and not screw up (hehe!!)
I also started a new book which I hope might help or give me some insight: "The Powder of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. I know a lot of my choices are from very poor habits. For instance at work when I'm bored or under stress I will run downstairs to our little shop and buy peanut m&m's to get through that "feeling" once or twice a week. How can that even help with stress or boredom or weight loss.
So ultimately my goal is to get back into a healthy BMI on December 31st. This means I need to get though Thanksgiving and Christmas without over doing it too. That means I need to plan for events and situations - how can I get through them and how can I change my reaction to things. Lots of mental work here hehehe
Anyhow....here we go!!! We can do this!!!

This is so funny and strange. I just told my sister that I wanted to lose weight before the year end so that I would not get caught in the October through December weight gain that a lot of us go through with Halloween candy to Christmas and New Year's dinners and parties. So I joined a Diabetes Prevention Class that teaches behavior modification and more. Our first meeting was today and we had to weigh in. I was at 228 lbs, so that is my starting weight. Essentially, I want to lose the percentage of body weight (7%), that they have designated in the class through IF, (which they don't recommend), weight training and eating less meat. So my goal weight according to the class will be 212 lbs. But my personal goal weight after December will be 175 lbs.3
