Many of us have been supporting each other with our health and fitness goals, but because of new schedules and locations we have had a difficult time meeting. So this blog is to give us a common place to share ideas and to help motivate each other. If you would like to be a part of our healthy support group please leave a comment on a post below.
We will use this blog for weigh ins, healthy recipes, exercise ideas, 5K links, moral support, etc.....

Biggest Loser Weeks to a New Life

okay, I know it has been forever since I have done anything on here.  We have had a ton of medical issues this past year and I have lost sight of myself and my goal of being a healthier, skinnier self.  I weighed in the other morning and I am at 270 lbs ... I have never weighed this much in my life. I am disgusted with myself and upset.  Randy's aunt signed a bunch of us up for a Biggest Loser healthier lifestyle challenge.  Each week we get a list of guidelines to follow and we get points for every goal we accomplish that week.  This isn't a challenge to lose weight, it is to help build healthier habits to help you lose weight and be healthier about doing it.  So I decided each week I will post the guidelines for that week and if any of you would like to try this lifestyle change with us you can follow along.
Week 1
- Drink 8 (8 oz) glasses of water ..... 5 points per day
- Stop eating at a set cut-off time (usually 2-3 hours before you go to bed, I chose 7 pm) ..... 5 points per day
- Walk 6000 steps in a day ...... (1000-2000 is 1 pt, 2001-4000 is 2 pts, 4001-5999 is 3 pts, 6000 + is 5pts)
Total points possible for this week is 105 ... Good Luck and I would like to hear how everyone does at the end of the week
