Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on October 11, 2015

So here I am about to embark on my latest fad.. The wonderful Jillian Michaels and Diet Bet fall challenge.

I've realised that nothing in my life is quite as I would like, not that I am unhappy or unappreciative of my lot but just want to better it.

#1 my age : 30 and some...

#2 my weight : 180 pound and some...

#3 my bills : manageable and some...

#4 my exams : a little off target and some...

So number one is never gonna get any better, but the rest are well in my control.

I am due to act as a bridesmaid on Saturday and am the heaviest I have been in 6 years! This is not good, knowing already that these will be photos I will cringe over.

I am loving this concept of getting your money back if you do succeed and that the time of each challenge is manageable considering I have a target loss of 50 pounds to achieve.

So to all those embarking on a lifestyle change too, good luck!!!

Welcome to Diet Bet! I love it, and I hope you will too. I'm not going to wish you good luck, because in weight loss good luck doesn't have much to do with the process. But I will wish you "focused intensity", because that's what it takes to keep life from getting in the way of reaching your goals. I envy you, in your thirties and on this journey. I'm in my fifties and regret not taking my health, fitness, and eating habits more seriously twenty years ago or ten years ago. I've lost 60 pounds & have 40 to go. I didn't balloon up 100 pounds overnight. It crept on slowly as a result of bad choices, one bite at a time, and one minute of inactivity versus activity at a time. I regret all the years I sat on the sidelines of life because I was embarrassed by my weight and refused to take control of my weight and fitness. The Land of Regret is a terrible place to live so I'm trying to move. A few words of unsolicited advice from an older gal: Get the weight off. You can do it. Decide to do it now because you deserve the best life you can give yourself. I was once in my 30's then 20 years flew by and one day AARP stuff started arriving in the mail, and I said to myself oh crap - - you're middle-aged. When did this happen? Middle age kind of sucks, don't arrive here fat. Fat just adds to the suckiness. I hope I wasn't a Debbie Downer. I just want to prod you, inspire you to not to take my path. Be smarter than me & control this situation now while you're young & "only" hav

I love this pep talk, will try and keep it in the forefront of my mind instead of the cravings for naughty food! X
