Mel M I'm retaking this challenge again for the month of March...
encouraged this.
Weight loss isn't a challenge for everyone ... but we all know when we're carrying a few extra lbs.
For 30 days, set yourself an eating and fitness plan. Eat 3 main meals, plus 2 snacks (low calorie, lean proteins; wholegrains; and plenty of fruit & veg). No alcohol (empty calories !) or sugary drinks (you know the drill)
Add 1 hour of mixed training, 6 days a week and see what you can do !!

Gem W This one is completely frustrating me right now!! I totally keep weighing myself and I know I shouldn't!! I've been eating kind of terrible lately because we haven't had great choices lately. Once I get home I'll be able to eat better! But then I'll only have about 2 weeks to improve. O_o *sigh*
encouraged this.
Hey Gem ... how are you doing on this one now ? More importantly, are you getting excited about your photo shoot ?
Gem W encouraged this.
Not very well at all actually Karen. Thanks for checking up though. I have been struggling with my transition back into the "real world" and have been bingeing, drinking, and not eating. I have worked out everyday so far, but still just struggling with a few other things. O_o Hopefully I can get out of this funk soon.
Gem W I have a new motivation for this one!! I have never liked what I looked like for all 26 years of my life, until about December 2012 did I truly accept who I am and fell in love with me. It's an amazing feeling, therefore, I fully intend on taking some Boudoir Photos by the end of March (about the 18-20th) and would really like to look even better for those!! Even though I feel I look great now, helping lose the bit of "protection" left in key areas will help my muscles and physique show a little nicer without having to touch it up too much!! ;) Can't wait!!
As of 16 Feb, I weighed about 142lbs, and would like to be 130lbs by the time I take the pictures... I really believe I can do it as long as I can stay focused on my work out (which I will be running 5-6 days per week; and intend to keep up with my 3 days per week weights) and eating healthy... I GOT THIS!! ;)

You go girl!
