Dump Your Plump Finale

Well, it is finally over! The contest has run its course of 10 weeks and is now officially over and it has been really great. I think if I am not mistaking our team of 6 dropped a total of 128 pounds altogether which is really good. Four of our team members shot for a weight loss goal of 20 pounds. While the other two shot for a total of 14 and 12. All but 2 made their goal but they were right there at it. So, I will start with myself, during this program I lost a grand total of 26 pounds. My goal as you all know was 20 pounds and I made it. Now this was a goal I wanted to meet and I did but it really isn't my long term goal. I eventually want to lose about 20 more pounds so I am trying to continue on to get down to my eventual goal weight that I have set for myself. With a little help and motivation with one of my co-workers I think I can achieve this goal. Hopefully, I will be the same motivation for him to achieve his also. I, however, was not the biggest loser on my team. We all wanted to be the biggest loser on our team but it came down to just me and the guy I work out with. I had a total of 10.57% weight loss for the 10 weeks and he had a total loss of 10.66%. So my hat is definitely off to him and I hope we can continue on this journey to change our lives for the better. I can already tell a big difference in the way I feel so I am going to continue on and see how it goes. I will try and keep you updated as best as I can. So, until next time I will see ya when I see ya!

Countdown 1 week remains

Well, the time for this competition is almost over and since my last post I have lost only 2 pounds. So, that brings my total to 23, which is good don't get me wrong but I want more. I lost the 2 pounds last week and just stayed the same this week, very frustrating I must say. I know it is a long climb and I am really going to try and start to step it up a bit because I think I can do more than what I am doing. For instance, when I am on the treadmill walking at 4.0 and a incline of 2.5 my heart rate is just around 105 or so and to get a better burn to lose weight I think it needs to go up. So, I know some of the issues and I just have to tweak here and there and eventually I will get there. What is so hard for me is Sweets because I really do like them I have been pretty good at avoiding these during this program, I just have to keep the mentality and keep in mind my long term goals then maybe I can have me a little something along the way, but not over indulge which got me in the shape I am in now. Maybe I can find a before and where I am now pics. Well, until next time see ya!
