The relief in the air at weigh-in was palpable at the Week 10 weigh-in!
Here are the results (tell me this wasn't worth it!):
Overall % Lost:
1 - Nann : $150
2 - Ashlee : $100
3 - Tristan : $75
Points Total:
1 - Lori : $60
2 - Kristin : $40
EVERY participant who weighed in more than twice LOST WEIGHT! As a group we lost a total of 181.5 pounds!!! That is an amazing and huge accomplishment!
Keep up the good habits you've created, now that the competition is over. The purpose of this challenge was to establish healthy habits that will help you to maintain your weight, or continue your weight-loss journey. Also to prove that if you keep the guidelines you are guaranteed to lose weight! Ask Tristan: she really didn't want it to work, but it really did, to her benefit!
I know everyone will be happy to ditch the tracking sheets and relax a little, with less focus on the scale. Try to stick with MyFitnessPal, though. It really is a simple tool that helps you stay in touch with healthy eating and exercise. Remember: weight control is 80% eating & 20% exercise!
I would recommend that if you are looking to maintain your weight, honestly track 3-4 days each week, continue to get all 5 fruits & vegetable daily, and drink your water. Occasional tracking helps you avoid pitfalls and sliding back into bad habits. Feel free to increase your calorie count to around 1700-2200 of healthy whole foods if you are continuing to exercise. MFP will guide you if you change your goals in the profile.
You are amazing ladies! It was a real treat to host this challenge with you! You are beautiful, strong, funny, sweet, healthy, happy women & it's a blessing to know you all!
Have a super slimmed-down summer!
