Well done contestants! I cannot weight to see who the biggest loser will be!
Before I forget, I have some weekly prizes that have not been claimed. Erica- Water Bottle, Sharon 6pk of water and drink mix, Pat- 2 steamer bags of veggies, and LeAnna-$8.00 produce gift card and this last week's challenge winner Lisa-Biggest Loser workout DVD. If you see your name here, will you please remember to remind me on Saturday to give you your prize. I will also have before pictures developed and ready to hand out. This is always fun to see the transformations everyone has made :)
Final weigh in will take place at 9:00am Saturday morning and will take a few minutes longer than usual because I will need to figure out percentages so that we can award the money. This of course can't take place until everyone has weighed in. Please talk to me if you need to make other arrangements.
Can't WEIGHT, see you on Sat!

This week will be our last challange. This week's challenge is all the challenges combined: Journal, Exercise, Drink Water, Eat 3 Meals and 2 Snacks, & Vegetables. You should have made some new habits that got you to this point. This should have been an excellent start to a new, healthier way of life.
One more note, I have to work this Sat (24th) but a weigh in before the final weigh in is very important so I don't want to skip it. For those that can't weigh in on Saturday please email, call or text me a time that you would like to come on Friday. My cell is (801) 721-0230. Those coming on Saturday same time 8:30-9:30 and my husband Curtis will be here to take weights. I asked many of you this last week and most said they didn't care if he did it. If you are uncomfortable with him seeing your numbers, arrange to see me on Friday. Can't weight!

Challenge this week: Three Healthy Meals, + 2 snacks EVERYDAY! You will be playing for a 6 pack of water and drink mix.
If you were to be a contestant on the Biggest Loser they eat three meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and two snacks a day. Parceling out your calories throughout the day means you'll stay full and won't go on suar or carb binges from too many bad, empty calories, Ed Brantley of Season 6 BL, a professional chef, used to eat his first meal of the day at lunchtime, when he'd scarf down a few burgers. It started a cycle of bad choices that continued throughout the day.
Eating more-frequent meals and snacks will...
* keep you from feeling deprived.
* help control blood sugar and unsulin levels
* Lead to lower body fat
*keep you energized for exercise and activity.
* reduce stress hormones in the body that can contribute to fat accumulation.
* establish a regular pattern of eating that helps prevent impulse eating.
One problem with skipping meals is that by the time mealtime rolls around, you're famished and more likely to choose the wrong foods, especially those high in fat. Fat has more than twice as many calories as protein and carbohydrate. It satisfies hunger very quickly, and your body seems to know this. So the longer you go without food, the more likely you are to crave a high-fat treat.
If you feel hungry between meals and snacks try drinking a glass of water, chew a piece of sugar-free gum, or do something to distract yourself from thinking about food.
If you're not in the habit of eating regular meals and snack, creating a food schedule that you use in conjunction with your journal can help you stay on track. Successful losers learn over time that carefully planning their meals and snack is one of the most important components of successful weight loss.
Have an awesome week. Stay focused. Eat 3 meals and 2 snacks, calculate and journal. You may not be used to eating that often, but should see results if followed correctly.

Wow, another week done. Everyone is doing great and looking great too! Sorry in advance for not getting the results up sooner.

Not to mention it was a lot of fun!!

This week's challenge: EXERCISE...+ WATER...again. You need to exercise and drink plenty of water each day. So, all who have at least 3.5 hrs of exercise for the week and 64 oz daily of water for at least 5 days will receive a reward at the next weigh in. I am going to start prizes that we have already done over again. So, this next weeks prize will be a nice water bottle. Start moving and drinking your water. For those of you who already are doing this, this will be easy for you.
And finally... "I shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me. Or I can be lost in the maze. My choice. My responsbility. Win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny."
