I wanted to thank everyone for participating in last weeks challenge. I think it will be a good resource for all of us throughout the challenge when we are struggling with a particular area of weight loss. As I was reviewing the strengths and weeknesses there were a few areas that stood out as things that we can all work on together as a group. We will take the next few weeks to takle these challenges together! One of the major areas of weakness was having a sweet tooth. Many people mentioned that they do a great job of exercising but then manage to undo all of their hard work with caving into some delicious cookies or ice cream etc. The challenge for this week will be to avoid sweets! As I am sure we will discover this will be no easy task, so please place comments below discussing how it is going and what you are doing to overcome the temptation when you are faced with it. You are of course still encouraged to eat fruits of all kinds, the challenge is to stay away from processed sugar in all forms! We will begin the challenge on Thursday morning and go for a full week. I can't think of better motivation than a weigh in to kick this one off, so let's make this a great challenge and make sure to utilize one another for support!
