Feel Great in 8

So I did this program called "Feel Great in 8" this past February and March and I was wanting to do another round of it because it was a fun and motivating program to lose weight. I have had lots of people ask me what I did to lose my baby weight and I can say that doing this was the best thing for me because I held on to my Jantzen baby weight a little to long. It is just the total basics..... Eat right, exercise, do good deeds, stay spiritually uplifted. I have to admit that I am a VERY competitive person so the program has you put $10.00 in to do it and the winner gets a reward in the end. I won last time I did it! It started off that I was so motivated by the money that I could win but then I was driven by getting on the scale each week seeing what I had accomplished. I also felt so much better in the everyday tasks that I did. I finally fit back into all my regular pants and that made me WAY happy. I want to do another round because I had lots of people say they would love to do something to motivate them and I still would like to get rid of a few extra and be back to pre-pre-pre pregnancy weight. (those were the good old days) I want to start on Monday, September 13th so if anyone is interested please email me at malibaby22@hotmail.com. I will email you a good food/bad food list, what you do to earn points, and daily tasks when it gets closer to time and you can decide if you want to do it for sure or not. I isn't super easy. I just learned to cook better because I made everything with wheat, like pasta and stuff, and I cut my portions back tons because I thought about it more. To earn points one thing you have to do is drink 64 oz a water a day and by doing that I wasn't as hungry. You will also have to come up with an addiction that you will lose points if you do it during that time. Examples would be drinking soda pop, maybe wasting to much time on computer, watching t.v. ect. (my big weakness is ice cream!) I would love to have a big group do it so we can have a big pot of money so please let me know soon. Everybody can invite their friends to do it also. Fun times are ahead!
