So back in January we started our 4th Biggest Loser Challenge. Lots of new faces, some repeat challengers, and past winners.
The moms were all pumped to get started on their weight loss journey, and a sweet pot of $200 for the winner was great motivation... at least at the time!
As the weeks went by the mamas chatted about their successes and failures and tried to stay motivated. Losing weight is not easy, especially for busy moms! The temptation to finish what's left on your kids plate at dinner, or to just stop for takeout when running late for dinner is just too easy.
Some of the moms did really great though. Me, not so much! While I did lose a whopping 2.9% in 8 weeks, I was no where near what I really had hoped to accomplish. Willpower does not live here!
This morning our moms weighed in, some with surprise at what they had actually lost and some with disappointment. And one mom surpasses all the others by leaps and bounds... our winner Natalie (and previous Biggest Loser winner in our very first round) lost an impressive 11.47%!!! Way to go!!!!!
So of course we all wanted to know how she did it. Her secret? Eating healthier, drinking lots and lots of water and cutting back on "crap". A true testament to how eating a little better can make a world of difference in the battle to lose weight.
So now I will use her inspiration to hopefully lose the weight I would love to lose. No more donuts for dinner.
Congrats again Natalie!
