Wednesday Weigh In

So, I have been complaining about my chubbiness for far too long. I am sick of it and lets be honest my chub is not helping my fibromyalgia get any better. So here I am writing a blog about it. Well not really. I know several people who have expressed the desire to lose weight in the new year. But like me need accountability. So here is my idea:

We all blog about it! Ok so it wasn't completely my idea I was inspired by someone who said they were going to blog their weightloss journey. My idea is to create a "Fat to Fit Club"

The way it would work is this; we would all blog every Wednesday about how much weight you have lost that week, what is working for you, what isn't working, tips & tricks, great recipes and other weightloss topics. I will create a blog with the week's prompt and a Mr Linky (provided I can figure out how to work it) Once you have written your blog come back paste the link to your post in the linky read the blogs of others on their weightloss journey and show them some comment love. My hope is that we can all be accountable to each other as well as ourselves. But also that we can support and encourage each other. I want this to be a safe place where we can be honest about our individual journey, and get support when we stumble or get off track.

There will be some guidelines:

1. ABSOLUTELY NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS WILL BE TOLERATED!
2. NO ONE has to reveal their starting or ending weight unless the WANT to
3. Honesty is the key to success so be as honest as you can
4. Remember that stumbling does not mean you have failed, just pick up where you left off and get back on track.
5. Most importantly this is to be a JUDGMENT FREE ZONE, each person is allowed to embark on their weightloss journey in what ever manner works best for them, there is no right or wrong.
6. NO ADVERTISING

I really hope that this takes off and we get a great group going and we meet our weightloss goals this year. Perhaps we can plan a special treat for New Year's Eve next year to celebrate our success!
