"H20" 70 Days Til Halloween Challenge
"Let the pounds 'fall' off"

Welcome! To those of you who haven't been a part of the "H20" group, you are welcomed to join. Both Ladies & Gents. We are a group of lovely Ladies. I started "H20" ONE year ago.. HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY to H20 & all the members who have followed all along!! Join in at any time!!



How many out there are in need of some re-direction with the weight loss? Lost interest? Fell off the Bandwagon?

Tired of making up excuses? Well, now is the time to pick yourself up and dust off your knees. No more sitting around wishing you would start losing weight. No more sitting there dwelling on what you aren't doing. Many of us have busy schedules, and make that our "scape goat" to losing weight. That scape goat has died, and now its time to move on. Get up off your *kitten* and do something about your not losing weight. Who is in control of you? YOU are. What are you doing to prevent yourself from, being and doing everything you possibly can. Do you want to feel good about yourself? And love yourself, again or even for the first time ever. Well now is the time to do exactly that. Are you sick of people staring at you, or putting you down, because of your weight? or maybe because of your insecurities? You don't have to go thru that. You can change all of that if YOU want to. Are you ready to be proud of the person you are? You first must start working on you, your self-esteem, and self worth. No more making excuses for not getting up and moving. Watch those Calories, ect. Take vitamins,(NOT DIET AIDS, they aren't good for you). Drink your H20, and get your *kitten* up off that couch, or chair, away from the computer and workout. 30 minutes of continuous exercise. Get that heart pumping, and start sweating.


Weigh ins: Weigh ins will be every two weeks. Weigh yourself today, and then your next weigh in wont be until, september 5th, you can choose to weigh yourself, but you dont have to put your weight in until two weeks.

Challenge 2: Treat yourself. To a pedicure, manicure, a new shirt, something for YOU!

Challenge 3: Try or retry a workout DVD. Repeat 3 times over the next 2 weeks.

Im happy to be back in this with you ladies. I can't wait to see what I have in me. Im beginning a journey, that will change my life forever. I hope to make all of you a part of that change.
