Ugh. This challenge sucks. Who came up with it anyway?
I am really good at exercising. As long as someone is making me do it.
If I sign up for a class, I'm there. And the teacher makes me dance.
If Amber comes and visits, I feel obligated to sweat it out in the living room.
If people ask me to come running with them, I'll do it. For them.
But when I try to motivate myself, and exercise alone? I end up sitting in my workout tights, eating chunky monkey ice cream, and watching a movie.
(Kidding, I don't have workout tights. But if they looked anything like this, I would.)
When we started this challenge, I was motivated by you guys. Even though we are on opposite sides of the country, I felt like you were making me do it.
Plus I was being asked to run by some of the girls here.
But now? It's kind of worn off.
I wish I was there with you guys!
But for now, I think I'm going to sign up for a class.
Four Girls, Three Months, One Winner!
Welcome
Our Blog is called Reasons to Lose because all of us participating have different reasons for losing weight! It could be to get healthier, or feel better about yourself, maybe it is to have more stamina and energy or the good old fashioned 'I don't like my body and want to look better'. Whatever our reasons are, we have decided to come together and lose the weight! We are blogging about it to keep motivation up (no one wants to report they just ate their way through a second box of chocolates and gained 10 pounds this week...) and also maybe we will inspire our readers to make their lives better too!
New This Season
We are currently taking a break! You may see us update you all on our personal progress for the next few months but as far as the competition goes, we are on a hiatus.
Amber, age 24
About Amber
I was inspired by two of my sister-in-laws to start this blog. I have always struggled with insecurity and when I work out regularly (regardless of if I lose weight) I feel better(probably all those endorphins!) I want to eat better and get healthier too, and this blog will help me stay on top of my goals!

About Chantel
I tend to get sick often during the winter (and sometimes fall) seasons. And when I do get sick, I stay sick for a while. I'm hoping that doing a regular workout routine will help my immune system, so I can kick illness in the butt! I also have been wanting to work out regularly to get more toned, increase my confidence and have more energy. I know that with a good support system I'll be able to keep it up!

About Annie
With everything I am responsible for at home, my ridiculous work schedule and my health problems, it makes it hard to keep working out on the front burner. But when I heard about this blog, I thought 'why not!'. I'm excited to get started and hopefully I won't die of exhaustion when this is all over!
Heléna, age 26
About Helena
I can't fit into my clothes! After getting married and being forced to eat my own cooking, I started gaining weight. The desk job didn't really help. I gained 30 lbs in the past year, and I can really feel it when I try to get dressed in the morning. I am really good at starting diet and exercise programs; but really bad at finishing them. And that's all about to change...

I know what you mean, I wish you were here too. What can we do to make you feel motivated by us again?
If you guys could do a reenactment of that video I posted, I think that would really help.
What ever happened to that pole dancing class? I bet that would motivate you :)
That's a great idea! People stopped going, and I never wanted to go alone. But maybe I can rope some of the new girls into it :)
But really, you guys remaking that music video would be the best motivation of all.
YOu should Pole it again! I went to two classes by myself this week and had just as much fun! Or just move back.
You went to two pole dancing classes this week??
