I don't know. I already mentioned how it's hard for me to explain. I guess He just puts it in my mind the thought that I need to do it. Some would say nonsense, but I don't care.What do you mean when you say God reminds you to brush your teeth?
Aweseme! I'm at 26lbs total lost now. It's been hard since moving back home. My family eats a lot of meat and dairy so I started eating that again and when I lost the first 25lbs rather easy, I wasn't eating any meat or dairy. I cut out all meat about 3 days ago, but I'm struggling with the dairy. I don't drink milk but I do eat cheese. There's a lot of fat in cheese. I'm going to cut out cheese soon and maybe that will help me lose weight faster.Hi everyone! *waves*
So glad to read a few of the responses
So far, I've dropped about 10-12 lbs, depending on the day/week and what I eat lol
I've started back exercising again as well. We will see, I am at a weight I haven't been at in years! That makes me happy but also a little afraid that I will gain it all back.
That means total weight loss is now at around 30 lbs. Thank you GOD.
So most of us have seen the show Biggest Loser, even if it just flipping through the channels. It's a great show that promotes healthy weight loss AND weight maintenance.
We talked about this a long time ago, but it kind of died out and nothing came of it. I want to bring this subject back up and see if anyone is interested.
I believe everyone of us knows there are a lot of us here on CF that need to lose weight. Whether it be 10 pounds or 150 pounds, there are those of us that just need to start taking our health serious and make it a priority in life.
I am proposing a CF Biggest Loser competition! This is going to be to promote lifestyle changes, not just weight loss. I want to start taking my health seriously and would like to join together with others like me who want to take their health seriously as well So, this goes beyond just losing weight. This is about total health.
If Spicy is willing, I would like to make this a team competition! Basicly, we would be the trainers. Our job is to hold our teams accountable, post tips and hits, encourage our team, and be there to help with any questions.
So, Spicy (or if he declines, we can find another trainer) and I would be the trainers. You sign up on this thread if you want to participate. We have a draft where we break people up into teams. Most likely, drawing names at random or simply just cutting the list in half will happen as this is not a popularity contest.
This is my proposal:
1. This is a friendly competition to promote health. There may be blessing and/or other prizes involved for the winning team.
2. There will be 2 team leaders, myself and spicy or another member.
3. If you want to join, sign up on this thread. We will later assign you to a trainer.
4. You will be required to report your weight and progress to a trainer at regular intervals. This is 100% confidential and no one will share your weight with others.
5. We will use this thread or another to post tips, healthy recipes, etc... If you have a healthy snack you found that tastes good, share with the others.
6. Although this is a friendly competition, we need to take health very seriously. Before doing any specific diet changes, you need to talk to a doctor. If you are going to chose a specific fad diet, such as South Beach or Atkins, do NOT do this before you talk to a doctor. Simply eating more fruits/veggies and less starches/fat and adding some exercise to your life is something everyone should do. If at any point you feel something is not right, stop.
7. I would like to promote total health as well. That means finding people/friends for you to talk to about other issues as well. Just a listening ear can help.
I hope this makes sense and I laid everything out there the right way. This is not just for singles. If you are married/engaged/dating or just a moderator assigned to the forum and you want to participate, you are more then welcome.
This thread is primarily to see if anyone is interested.
If you have any suggestions/comments or if you think some changes need to be made to what I have posted, give me the feed back here. Also, if you are in, sign up here so I can see how many people are interested.
Thanks
Coach
So true. I've lost 2 more pounds. Puts the total up to 28. Praise God!Well, I think I gained about 1-2 lbs back, that's what happens when you start taking losing for granted and not watching what you put in your mouth.
this month, I've maintained WILL be different. I will definately start back on the watching I eat starting tomorrow. Today was not so great, but I am gonna look ahead at getting back on track tomorrow.
Keri, with God we can do all things.
Yesterday I did 6 miles, today I will do about 7 or 8. in the beautiful sunny weather.
^ I had to do the high miles. I knocked back 3 India Pale Ales last night.It was good though,tasted like candy.
