Weight-loss Challenge

Several friends of mine and I created a "weight loss" challenge group. Now I know there are many of these floating around the internet, I see them all the time on Facebook. This was a just for fun group, just to help motivate us move. No pressure, no sales, just that you now have 19 accountability friends. Every day someone would post a "what are you doing today" post, where we would say if we were being active or not, what we were going to do, and post any fun gym selfies. I love love love The Berry- DaMo and I would post a full day link or just a super awesome picture from the day. 

We also had started, weekly check ins. I personally, take pictures, measure myself, and take a picture of the scale that has my body fat. I lost over 10'' but only really lost 4 pounds in just 8 weeks. With these 8 weeks I had learned that the scale wasn't my friend because while I trimmed down my scale told me I was relatively the same. 

I try to have 30 minutes of cardio 5-6 days a week while working in some strength training too. Every day is different. My gym has a daycare and thankfully my girls LOVE going there. Also, I love food. I still ate my weakness (In-n-out, pizza, taco shop, chips and salsa, popcorn, beer, ect) but I made sure to work out a little harder that day or the next day. I also have a Fitbit, where I do the challenges with some friends and make sure to try my hardest to hit 10,000 steps a day. Those push me to get up and move a lot more than I was used to.

I am proud of my results. I may not ever be how I was before kids, but I am better than I was in November when I started my weight-loss journey.

On the left was me 8 weeks ago, and the right was me today!! 

I have been swayed by the pills, wraps, drinks, shakes, ect but loosing weight doesn't happen over night because let's face it- it doesn't get put on your overnight either. Some things may work for some people, but remember you are YOU and you can find what works for you.
