Signing my name on that dotted I shook my head in utter disbelief. Here I was, again signing up for another weight loss challenge. After 3 ( dare I say 4) failed attempts to achieve my weight loss goal through other challenges--including Weight Watchers I told myself I wouldn't do this again. Must be my addiction to doing everything I can to trim this middle. Not to mention my obsession with joining stuff.
Another reason I wasn't going to join was fear of the weekly weigh in. That can be very discouraging when others are joyful because they lost 3-4 lbs and you only lost .5, which was probably water weight. Thankfully, this challenge is focusing on group activities and team work between team members. Winning is based on a combination of weight loss (individually and team) as well as group participation in the planned activities. Cool, huh? Group activities include mall walking, which I absolutely love, two boot camp sessions, which my sister--my partner--enjoys, and group classes for Pilates, Zumba, and Yoga.
I love this set up and can't wait for the end. Oh and get this. The program ends with a Community Health Fair where the winners will be announced. I'm pretty excited!
How are you battling your bulge in 2012?
