(I will admit...I had this posted in the Miscellaneous Clubs section, but when looking around here I thought it would fit better...I asked there that it would be deleted...)
What this is? This is a group of fine ladies supporting each other to reach short-term goals for this beautiful time that seems so out of sight... SUMMER! This is also a great point motivation system that will help you keep in check using rewards/allowances for doing certain things (like going out to eat, having a 'cheater meal,' buying a new shirt...).
Ok...so this is what you do...
First thing, pick something special you will do or get on or around May (maybe May 18 because it is exactly 11 weeks from Monday, February 11). You can get or do this special something if you meet your goal weight by May 18th. If you start on February 11th, you could lose an average of 1.5-2 pounds a week and be down 18-28 pounds by May 18th!
POINTS
Each healthy meal/snacks- 1 point (max of 6 points) (3 snacks/3 meals). Let's say if you are on a diet has requires more or less than 6 points and you eat perfectly, you get all 6 points.
Each 1/2 hour of exercise- 1 point (can count as a long walk or...if from north Shoveling snow
(Max of 10 points each day...so we don't create workoutaholics)
The points that you earn are redeemable only once (if you have 43 points and you use a 20 point reward you are now down to 23 points).
You should really try not to go into the negatives (if your honey wants to go out to eat somewhere unhealthy and you only have 12 points you should push to cook at home or just order a salad or something still healthy where you go).
20 points- one meal out (trying to stay under control)
- one night out (max of 3 drinks)
- one outing to a coffee shop (one sweet drink)
- buy something to treat yourself ($10-$20...movie/lotion/game/make-up...)
40 points- One new shirt
- One new skirt/dress/pants
- One set of new undergarments
60 points- One mini-vacation with person and place of choice (two day/one night trip somewhere special away from home)...fully funded by 3fatchicks.com ... tehehe jk. :P
Please, adjust the rewards to fit you and your lifestyle
Mine may be adjusted when needed...
If you would like to and are ready to start …start now...start following your diet and exercise plan right away! OR, you could wait at least a day to get yourself mentally ready and pepped up. I've already been using the point system (will explain how it has been going in my post below) and I spent my entire weekend before getting meals together and letting family/friends know. I just really miss support, which is why I came here
