Weigh In!!!

Weigh in!!

Okay!! Weigh in is TOMORROW!! YAY!!


Remember to weigh in at the SAME TIME of day, in the SAME CLOTHES or lack thereof as your original scale pic. Also.. don't forget to get me your AFTER PICS in the same OUTFIT. Front and Side are REQUIRED and you need to be holding the DATE and HOUSEHOLD ITEM IN THE PICS!!! Your weights are DUE to me at kariscomp@yahoo.com by 6 pm MST. Also, your after pics must be into me by Midnight. If you have any questions about these pics.. please feel free to email me.

The household item for this month is a TOOTHBRUSH!!

It's totally okay to take your AFTER pics tonight in order to have them ready to send in tomorrow!! I would LOVE if the after pics came with the scale pics!! Also.. if you take your pics first thing in the morning feel free to send them at that time. I would love to have them coming all day long to save me from having to spend a ton of time in front of the computer at once. THANKS!
Can't wait to see how hard you've been working this month!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!

What does this mean to you??  Leave a comment and lets see how we each interpret it!

Prizes!!

Assuming the last person who needs to get money to me is going to send me the money the prizes are going to look like this:

Monthly

First $100

Second $40

 Overall

First $250

Second $100

The way this works is that monthly prizes are given for all 4 months, including the final month so in the final month there is $490 up for grab!!  Good luck all! :)

What have you tried?!?

I admit it.. I'm on a kick.  Fad dieting is a concept that is hard for me to swallow.  Of course, my greatest frustration is the statistic that 75-95% of people who lose weight will regain it ALL in the first 3 years.  I blame this statistic on fad dieting.  I will comfortably go out on a limb and say 100% of people who lose weight by making lifestyle changes (and maintaining these changes) WILL maintain their weight loss!! 

I also want to point this out.  People who lose weight by diets that use pills, take an entire food type (like carbs) completely out of the diet, or tell you you can eat WHATEVER you want as long as you don't exceed a ridiculously low amount of calories per day... these people decrease their lean muscle mass significantly.  Here's my example.  When I started I was right around 40% body fat.  Had I taken a different approach to weight loss, like taken pills that stunt my hunger etc... I could have lost the weight but even at 120 lbs could still have been around 30% fat!  (I am currently just under 18%)  Here's the thing... when these people regain the weight (cause 75-95% of them will)... they REGAIN fat!!  Now they are back to the weight they started at but NOW they are 50% fat and WORSE off then they were when they started. 

(ARE YOU STARTING TO SEE WHY I HATE FAD DIETING SO MUCH?!?!)

Just for fun... what "fad diets" have you tried AND why do you think they failed?

Hey guys!!  I had a good friend ask me today if she could join the comp and since we needed 1 more to be at 20, because we are still at the very beginning of the comp, and because she is awesome and is asking for extra motivation I told her YES!!!  SO.. we are up to 20.  Please add Nicholette to your blog lists! :)
