Seth: Lost 4 lbs. this week
Seth moved on to Phase 2 and kicked up his workout routine another notch—GOOD JOB! He’s sticking to the BLD recommendations for food timing, amounts and fullness factors. Seth even gets the pleasure of dipping into some of his forbidden foods using his extra snack calories! Seth has a lot support at home in sticking to his diet, a strong motivator for sticking to your guns when it comes to cravings and decision making. Everyone should find friends, family, or something of the sort to help keep themselves on track!
Carolyn: Lost 1 lb. this week
Despite all the temptations a family get-away can hold, Carolyn STILL managed to lose a lb thanks to family support, making healthy food choices when out and maintaining physical activity! Like Seth, she’s learning how to choose appropriate foods while eating out, allowing her to feel comfortable with her new lifestyle in the “real world”, YAY! I’m glad you’re showing it’s definitely doable—men and women alike!
Megan: Gained 1.4 lbs. this week
Although Megan gained some weight this week, she’s still down from when she started. Like a few other participants, Megan’s ready to take on the challenge of Phase 2 this week, so we’ll see how her weight changes with that. I would recommend trying to stick to your estimated needs now, which will help to achieve weight loss while gaining muscle mass through your workouts. Also, try increasing your fruits and veggies—this will help to cut back on some of the saturated fats and sodium that may creep into the diet from snacks, convenience foods, etc! Keep it up!
Kai: Lost 2.6 lbs. this week
Kai beat his weekly goal of 2.5 lb loss per week! AND, what a great feeling to be dusting off the small clothes from the back shelf—talk about recession-style wardrobe updates (wink wink)! By now you’re well into the beginning of Phase 2, stepping up to the challenge of increasing your structure and workout while on a family vacay—someone’s seriously up for a challenge, but we all know you’ll do wonderfully with it! You’ve finally gotten to the point in your workouts where you’re mentally committed and physically able to do anything with your workouts—that’s such an accomplishment, I hope you’re very proud of yourself. Hopefully the trails are nice and long and the poolside drinks don’t put you off track—but, as you already know, balance is everything, so the increased workouts will work wonders for you. Have fun and keep strong!
Renee: Lost 3 lbs. this week
Renee had some health complications these past few weeks, but she’s doing better with the BLD recommendations. She lost a few lbs this week, although not so much from the exercise I think, so don’t any of you all out there get any ideas! She’s transitioning her workouts into longer walks, lowering the impact because of her recent medical hang-ups, but definitely not letting them become excuses!! SO proud of you for this! We all wish you a speedy recovery and know you’ll be out there kickin’ calorie butt out there in no time!
I can honestly say everyone I've heard from this week is doing a great job, you guys are really stepping up to the plate and facing personal challenges. I didn't see written or video blogs from some of our team this week---let's make sure to play catch-up and keep everyone up to date on how you're doing!
