Weight Loss Accountability
One of the great things about living violence free is that we can pursue and encourage others to reach there goals. A couple of weeks ago I was giving a seminar on goals and a participate decided that she wanted to play a big game. She wants to reach size 8 by June. I asked her if she would be willing to do this on a public forum to TRULY hold her accountable. She is up for it. She will be giving progress reports so lets root on Donna! (Her picture is coming soon so she can have total accountabilty.) Here’s her report:
My progress so far is that I’ve slimmed down by 8 pounds and my waist is 4 inches smaller. :) I’m going to the gym twice a day and watching my carbs.

Anyone else want to play big send me a post and your commitments?

I weighed myself this AM and found another 2 pounds released, for a total so far of 10 pounds. I have been “releasing” weight, not “losing” it – I don’t want it to find me again!
My beginning weight was 187 – I am now 177 lbs. My beginning waist measurement was 37 inches, it is now down to 32. (That’s another inch smaller than when I emailed Lisa my progress.)
The clothes I purchased three weeks ago no longer fit. I was wearing a size 12.
I went shopping shortly before Christmas – because I didn’t have anything to wear! I was able to purchase size 10 slacks that fit perfectly. They are starting to get a bit loose in the waist, though. Interestingly enough, the scales have not budged, but I am definately seeing a big diffference in the way my clothes fit.
Ah, getting tone! Way to go Donna. It’s fun to have so much success so quickly. Often times the weight like to stay the same for awhile, but that doesn’t matter, it will come off quickly enough if you keep working at it. You’re really doing great!
I’m glad that I made more sense.
I do not usually post to a blog but I like this post therefore I was forced to do so. Going off the topic slightly, what are your thoughts regarding walking? It is currently being advertised as the best exercise to burn fat.
I think walking is wonderful. It is easy on the joints and something that almost anyone can do no matter their fitness level.
Of course, what a great site and informative posts, I will add backlink – bookmark this site? Regards, Reader.
