A couple months ago at school one of the teachers had an idea to start the "Biggest Loser" contest at school. It was going to be based on percent of weight lost in 15 weeks. That only seemed fair! :-) The rules were to pay $20 to play then $5 every week when you gained. A weigh in would happen every Friday and a running log was going to be kept to check for accuracy. Unfortunatley at the time, I did want to play but I had already lost "too" much weight from my own workout and eating routine. I decided not play but remain working out and eating as I had done.
One of my greatest friends at school, Janice, came to me for help and advice! Since this is a new passion of mine I couldn't wait to help her. She is a beautiful single mom with so much to give. She just could never get her weight under control because she simply did not know how to. She thought grabbing a bite to eat was easier than making a healthy meal at home. Let me put it this way, she used her oven as STORAGE!! :-) She decided that she was going to play Biggest Loser. Let me preface this by saying Janice does NOT like to lose!! So 10 weeks ago, I took her grocery shopping and showed her how to make delicious and healthy meals. I wrote out a meal and snack plan for her that she has followed.
I told her it couldn't just be eating right she had to work out too. I let her borrow my old I Pod so she could get out and at least walk. I encouraged her to walk a mile, then maybe two.
I am so proud to say she is now running!!! She is up to running 4 miles!!!! She is even going to my strength class with me. I couldn't be more proud of her. We are 5 weeks away until the end of the Biggest Loser. The winner will be receiving I believe $500!!! As of now, she is beating EVERYONE who is participating. In a matter of 10 weeks, she has lost 20 POUNDS!!!!!!! Everytime I think about it, it brings a tear to my eye. I am so proud of her for making a commitment and sticking to it. She looks great and feels terrific.
