Hey All, a friend of mine is hosting a Biggest Loser competition (through Facebook) and I thought I'd post the info and see if any of you are interested - its not a Weight Watchers thing, per se, but it looks like it'd be great to do! Let me know if you're interested, and I'll send you her contact info - sorry for the funny formatting here, I don't have time to fix it right now. Here's her message:
Ok, here we go on towards getting healthy, fit, and thinner. They kind of all work together, don't they? Feel free to invite others to join the contest. If you're like me, sometimes I need a little extra motivation to do what it takes to lose weight.
So here's the deal.. every week you will email me your points for the week and at the end of the contest, the winner will win! The end is most likely in December, since that's when the show finishes.
Here's the points...
1. Weekly weigh in and measurements - send me your weight every Wednesday morning. (I'll keep track, no one else will know). 1 point each week. Also, once a month have someone help you do your measurements of your chest (just under your arm pits with your arms down), waist (straight around the belly button), and hips (widest part down there). Since that's the area that affects major diseases, that's all I care about now.
2. Journal - Write down everything you eat and drink. It's proven that 80% of people who lose weight and keep it off, journal. Be honest, 1 point a day.
3. Workout - Exercise 5-6 times a week for 30 minutes minimum in your heart rate training zone. To find this, email me and I'll let you know. 1 point for each day of exercise.
4. Once a week insane workout - So once a week, either work with a trainer, do a bootcamp, or workout for 45 minutes with your heart rate in the 80-90% heart rate range. 10 points for each workout, max 10 points per week. Also, with this, I will be available to train you for a $5 donation to the heart and stroke foundation. We could set Saturday mornings as our "last chance workout" day and we could all do it together. Thoughts?
5. Cleanse - So either do a body cleanse, where you cut out flour, dairy, and sugar for 1 week or send me a picture of a before and after of how you've cleaned out all the junk out of your pantry and fridge. This is a once a month challenge. 20 points each time.
6. Eating out - Subtract 3 points for each time you eat out. North American portion sizes in restaurants are Nasty! They have very little nutritional value, and are HIGH in fat. The only option is Subway (the healthy options, or if you have a heart healthy/low fat option at at restaurant). Coronas instead of Canadian doesn't count. haha.
So this challenge lasts till the Biggest Loser finale in December. I'll try to get some prize donations from some businesses. I'll keep you posted on the prizes. It starts this week (I want weigh ins and measurements this Wednesday:)Since I'm a trainer, I am all up for training you during this too, if you live here and I'm not already training you that is. OR, if you'd like me to send you a weekly workout, I'd be up for that.
So message or email me.That should be it, if not, let me know what we're missing.Oh, don't expect the same results of the game show. It's a game and unhealthy. Aim for a weight loss of at least 10% of your weight. Set a major goal and a mini goal for each month. Live by the 80/20 rule. Eat and drink good 80% of the time, indulge guilt free 20% of the time.Invite friends, let the games begin:)
