SCHMOOZE & LOSE II - FINISHED Sept 5

Need extra help and support? Join me in the battle to lose those pounds! No goal weights for this group…just a determination to lose.Post your weigh-in on THURSDAY, FRIDAY or SATURDAY!!!YOU CHOOSE!!

GET INVOLVED!!!  Each Sunday we will be presenting a mini-challenge for all participants to take part in. You might have to post your favorite snack under 100 calories or tell everyone the nicest compliment you have recieved so far.  Message me with your ideas and recieve honorable mention as the week's BIGGEST SCHMOOZER!

This group is all about keeping that postitive attitude throughout your journey. It doesn't matter if you are just starting out or are maintaining, everyone needs someone to lean on now and then. So SCHMOOZE & LOSE with your friends and stay motivated!

WHAT TO EXPECT (GUIDELINES):

1. This is a 10 week motivational group. If you feel you cannot endure the full 10 weeks, message me and let me know I don't hound you.
2. You must post a Start and Finish weight. If you're not up to posting your weight on certain weeks, that's fine. This is all about staying motivated. 
3. Mini-challenges will be posted on Sunday. We hope that everyone will take part, but if you don't, there is no pressure. We're here to support you on this journey.
4. Feel free to use this group as a place to express yourself -  fears, frustrations, worries, goals, triumphs, successes. We are here to support and motivate one another, whether you're doing great or stuggling.

Thanks!

Im in-again, hoping to lose some more. See you on the 25th!

boy I'm glad we got advance notice on this, I have not done well all this week!!

Lily, a suggestion for one of our mini challenges - plan your meals in advance and stick to it!!!

I went grocery shopping today and I planned my entire week (keep your fingers crossed) and hope to stick to it.  Everything is prepared and logged and I think this will make it a lot easier than doing it every day.

Wish me luck!!

I think you'll like having your meals planned out. I do that during the work week so I don't have to think about it. It's nice not having to worry about what's going in my mouth. Of course I usually screw it up on the weekends, but I am good all week!

Count me in!
