100 Day Challenge: Who’s With Me?



Weight Watchers members and leaders all have the same issues. We want to lose weight, but sometimes life and stress get in the way. It can be difficult to stay on track, and sometimes the motivation just isn’t there to even try.

I’ve been like that in the past and this week has been an issue for me with tracking for various reasons. It doesn’t help that I’ve been full of cold—kicking it and then getting it back two weeks later! Motivation is at a minimum when I’m ill.

But I’m going to do the 100 day challenge to help boost my weight loss. In 100 days, I have a summer ball to attend, so that is my motivation. I want to be able to fit perfectly into a new dress (not bought it yet) and I want to feel great.

So, over the next 100 days, my challenge is to stick to tracking EVERY SINGLE DAY and stick to my exercise plan. There are going to be days when things don’t work out. Yesterday I made the decision not to go to the gym while I kicked the cold that I have. There’s just no point running my body into the ground.

The 100 day challenge can be done for all sorts of reasons and needs. You may have a challenge to lose a couple of dress sizes or trim your waist in the gym. Whatever it is, why not join me on this 100 day challenge? I’m going to update daily (except Sundays as I’m never online then! I’ll do a bigger update on a Monday to cover the weekends) and let you know how I’ve done each day of the challenge.

So, will you join me in the 100 day challenge? Let’s fight the fat and get our summer bodies.

The Problems with Crash Diets

Many people want to lose weight quickly. While this is possible, it’s not always the healthy option. Crash diets are on the top of people’s lists because they help them shed the pounds in weeks. The problem is they are extremely dangerous to your body; especially if you follow them for the long term. Crash diets can help to kick start weight loss but only when done sensibly. You’ll need to check with your doctor first to make sure you’re following the right plan for your body’s health. Here are a few risks that you’ll be taking if you don’t follow them the healthy way. While you will lose weight quickly with crash diets, you won’t keep the weight off for the long term. These weight loss plans are also known as yo-yo diets because you’ll put the weight back on just as quickly as you lose it. While you’re cutting the calories down, you’re not changing the way you eat for the long term; when you go back to eating normally, you’ll go back to your normal easting pattern. Another probl

100 Day Challenge Day 28: Staying In Control on a Busy Day

Image
I mentioned yesterday on the 100 Day Challenge that Wednesday was going to be busy. I expected to eat the majority of my weekly pro points that I had left. In the end, I only went into a small amount of them. The whole way I did that was by staying in control and making good choices . That’s an important part of losing weight. Yes, I could have stuffed my face with chocolate because there were periods when I really wanted to, but I didn’t. I didn’t deprive myself either. When I wanted chocolate, I told myself that I would get it later (knowing that I’d have some later anyway).  It doesn’t have to be boring making good choices. Rather than having a bit of chocolate at the end of the night, I shared a punnet of strawberries with my husband and daughter. They gave me the sweet kick that I needed to finish off the day. They were juicier and more delicious than a bar of chocolate, too. While doing all that, I’m also drinking more water. I’ve even decided to start my day tod
