Week 13 Results

Beauties,

I have results from 48 of you. This was a not a good week for many, and some gained a pound or two. Sometimes we just have to be honest, and this is where we are at right now.

Let's not let it get us down. Let's get re-committed. Let's make it happen next week. Only 4 weeks to go!!

Total Pound Goal: 605

Total Pounds Lost: 284

Total Inches Lost: 304

I loved all of your answers about your "qualities you love!" Thank you for sharing!!

Hi Tanna! I was visiting some friend's blogs and through some clicks I found your site! I am not sure if you remember me. My maiden name was Traci DeHart- you graduated a couple of years before me. =) I am a mom of a 3.5, 2 and 5 month old and I desperately want my body back! I had my 3 babies in 3 years literally and am now approximately 40 pounds over my goal weight (Weight watchers says due to my height I should weigh between 109-137). I love The Challenge and I know several of the women who are currently doing great! Can you let me know any more information on how I can join this great adventure with you and the other Beauties?? My email is Traci.ziebarth@gpisd.org
I would love to hear from you! Thanks!!

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is considered a "cheat?"

Soda, anything sweet (ice cream, candy, cookiest, etc), any fried foods. So if you eat cookies, you use a cheat. If you eat french fries, you use a cheat.

2. Are the 100 calorie snack packs ok?

One day is ok. I would not take advantage of them. More than one a day will hurt your progress in weight loss.

3. Is diet soda considered soda?

Honestly, in the past it has not counted as soda. However, the more I read about it, the more I understand that it DOES NOT help you in your journey at all. WATER is what you need to fuel your muscles and body for weight loss. If I were you, I would count diet soda as soda and stick to less than 12 ounces a day.

4. Is coffee a cheat?

If you drink coffee INSTEAD of soda then you are good to go. Stick to less than 2 cups a day. If you drink soda and coffee, you are hurting your journey as well.

5. Is it important to measure your inches?

Some rounds we measure and turn in inches, some we don't. However, many women lose inches first (before weight) so it is much more encouraging to keep up with inches and measurements. It really depends on your preference and how much weight you need to lose.

6. When do we weigh in?

You weigh in on Friday mornings. Just get into the habit of weighing in first thing Friday and turning your results in by Friday evening. I will post results either on Saturday or Sunday, but it helps me so much to have the results by Friday night.

Make sure to weigh yourself at the beginning of the challenge so you have an accurate starting weight. And use the same scale each week, it matters!

7. Do I need to make cheat cards?

I would say FOR SURE. If you create tokens or little cheat cards then you will keep up with your cheats much better and you will take the challenge much more seriously. I think it is super important.

8. Can I do the challenge if I am just maintaining my weight?

Of course. Many girls do this just for accountability since they have met their goal through the past challenges. If you choose to do the maintain program then be sure to tell me that. You get double the cheats if you are maintaining.

9. Can I view others results?

Yes. I will send out a link during the weekend that you can click on and you are able to see everyones results. We do not put our weight on the sheet, but you can see pounds lost, etc.

10. How do I quit the challenge?

I would just appreciate an email saying that you need to drop out. I promise, its ok! There are just some times when it doesnt work out to be in the challenge. It just helps me a lot to know you have dropped out instead of just not hearing from you.

11. How much water do I need to drink?

At least 72 ounces a day. The more overweight you are, the more water that your body needs. It is important that you drink your water THROUGHOUT the day and not all at once. That is not healthy for your body.
