I am using the last challenge final weigh in as the start weight for the challenge. If you are new to our group or if you’ve gone astray and were once with us and now are back – Secondly, please PM me your current weight, your goal weight for the END of 2009.
For this challenge, I’m doing something a little different. I am going to set your weekly goals. I am taking your current weight, subtracting your 2009 goal weight, dividing by 38 (number of weeks left in the year) and multiplying that by 6 (number of weeks in the challenge). I am doing this to give EVERYONE AN ATTAINABLE GOAL for the challenge. It’s a lot easier to take in little bites – rather than one big hunk… And yes – although we’d ALL love to lose #25 this month – it’s just not feasible. Slow & Steady is key. You didn’t gain the extra weight in 6 weeks – it’s not going to come off that fast either! I want to focus everyone on making attainable, realistic goals.
I will post EVERYONE'S Weekly Goals and their challenge Goal weight tomorrow - after I have finished the stats for the Easter Challenge... hang tight! I'm also sending PM's to those girls that originally signed up for the G2009 challenge - and have dropped out for whatever reason. I want to give them a chance to get back here too if they choose to.
As for the theme of this challenge – “Reflections of The Way Life Used to Be”. I want all of you to think of one (just one) bad habit that they had at the beginning of the year that you’ve now broken… or a good habit that you’ve built. Also if there was any key component in doing so. Building good habits and breaking bad ones is the key of living a healthy lifestyle – and ALL of us are here in order to do that and to support and learn from one another… so help a fellow Chick Out!
