Well, here it is! The thread we have all been waiting for! Who wants to join me in a new weight loss challenge for 2009???
Here is what I am thinking:
1) Must exercise 20 minutes 3 times a week. Any exercise that causes some beads of sweat to form on forehead counts. No excuses allowed. Additional weight lifting, strengthening, stretching etc is encouraged.
2) Must set a goal to lose at least 5% of weight (can be more) by March 31st. So if you weight 300 pounds, you should aim to lose at least 15 pounds in 3 months.
3) Any diet program that is healthy is fine as long is it is balanced in it's nutritional value (and no "extreme dieting" or starvation).
4) Must keep a log someplace of weekly weigh-ins (on same scale with similar or no clothes).
4) Optional: cholesterol and BP check by doctor sometime during the 3 months so we all know where we are and where we should make changes.
Sooooooo, who wants to join???
