Last season, I failed.
More than failed, actually. I gained weight.
How embarrassing.
But I have one thing going for me: I can be honest about the fact that this failure? Was completely my fault.
I lost my drive, and the chocolate won.
But not this time.
This time, I'm kicking some serious cellulite butt.
My goals:
I'm starting small, because to win this thing (or even do well) I will have to take it one step at a time.
1. I will do the 30 day shred 2 times per week (or more. But not less). My soon-to-be-delivered webcam should help me with this :)
2. I will be hydrated (with water, not soda).
3. I will lose at least 20 lbs (that's less than 2lbs each week. this is a very healthy goal).
4. And I will sign up for some kind of dance class, or dance team. <---this is my favorite kind of exercise.
....Ok. So those goals aren't as small as I thought. But each and every one of them is doable, especially with the support I know I'll get here.
Bring it.
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!
Chantel, age 23
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!

Annie, age 29
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...

what is your address? i will send you some of my famous cranberry coffee cake (from starbucks).
how is that for support?!
seriously...i lost 27 lbs from halloween until christmas last year. you can do it!
Have you tried Zumba? It completely kicks my butt, and I look like a total dork doing it, but I love it! I don't know about your city, but my town has classes everywhere, so yours probably does too. It's like a samba/hip hop deal, plus some ab work at the end. It's great.
You can do it! Hang in there...chocolate is my downfall, too, and I'm in the mode to lose weight, too...my goal is 15 lbs. Here's seeing if I can actually do it!
I know you can do it! I am super excited to workout together with the web cam, it is going to be awesome! I agree you should try Zumba, I bet you would really like it. It is a good mix between pole dancing and traditional dance :)
I gained weight too, it's okay.
You can do it, Helena! And I will do whatever you need to help support you!
I'm getting a webcam too, so we can chat on it sometimes too!
Those are great goals
Was completely my fault. I love how you said that. I want to steal that phrase from you. It applies here too! Love you lots! YOu are sweet!
If you love to dance, and have a Wii there are GREAT dance games, that will get you sweating in NO time!!
good luck, I am right there with you......sigh
I don't have a Wii. But the other girls do! And I will totally look into Zumba. I know Annie loves it. And Annie, you can totally steal that.
