Coming out of the doctor’s office today I noticed that they were sponsoring a “Biggest Loser” weight loss contest. They had several women already signed up for the contest which lasts through March 31st, but no men. The contest was going to award both a male and female winner. Since they were giving away some cool prizes – and no men had signed up – I thought it was a no brainer! I signed up and am committed to try and shed some pounds. I always hesitate to make any New Year resolutions about weight loss, because I never keep them – and usually break them by the end of January 1st.
I was reading J.J. Flizanes’ blog about making effective weight loss resolutions and saw immediately that she was right. I plan to incorporate these tips into my plans as well.
Jeremiah had a tip about using a food diary on his blog – and I think I’ll incorporate that too. That’ll aid in the accountability.
But what about those cravings? What about the mid-day snack? Here’s a post that gives some great ideas for those 100 calorie snacks! I’ll use that list well!!
Right now I weigh 225# and am 5’10″. I’m medium to large frame (I’m guessing) and know I need to shed several pounds. My ultimate goal is like 25lbs or so, but for the March 31st deadline I’m aiming for less than half of that. I’ve got some exercising to do and some eating habits to change. Really, any progress I make will be great progress. I’ll not quit soon…
Losing weight is one of my humans NYRs. He has a diet that works. Now all he needs to do is work at it.
lots of peoples resolution is weight loss. but if someone keeps it is is a really good resolution! hope you will be able to do it!
