Slim People in Progress

Slim-People Quoted in Costco Connection

Imagine my surprise! My mom brought to my attention that the February issue of The Costco Connection had a quote from Slim-People -- from my post about their article about creators of The Biggest Loser.

If you're wondering about my Biggest Loser weight loss program, I'm sad to say that I've fallen off the wagon.  I am down a few pounds, but somewhere along the way, I stopped tracking my meals and that's really the key to success. I am still working out and running. I haven't completely bailed out.

I have heard from my sister and a friend that they are consistently losing weight and I applaud their determination and persistence.

I joined the Biggest Loser Club...

OK, I did it. Along with a couple of friends, I've joined the Biggest Loser Club. It's actually a pretty good deal - $39 for a 3 month membership including 3 popular Biggest Loser books. All I've got to lose is weight!

My new digital scale arrived today and the number was worse than I had thought it would be. Yet, I've worked out the last 7 days in a row: gym (treadmill), hike - Hollywood Hills, Pilates, 6.3 mile run, gym, gym, gym. Just goes to show that it's not as much about the exercise as it is about reducing food consumption. Not that I haven't known that all along. My calorie target is 1,200 - 1,400 per day.

You get customized meal plans and shopping lists, customized fitness plan, discussion forums and you can create buddy groups and set up your own challenges which are tracked online. There's also a mobile site so you can take your plan and tracking with you.

Good thing they provide meal swap suggestions because cottage cheese and pineapple is NOT on my list of foods I want to eat!

Friday, January 7 is day one for me. I've got three months and 28 pounds to lose. I've done it before with Weight Watchers (33 lbs in 7 months) so there's no reason I cannot do it again. It's a matter  of discipline (my word for the year for my business) and focus. I don't expect to lose 28 lbs in 3 months, however I will be well on my way... wish me luck!

Costco Interview with Biggest Loser Show Creators

Costco Interview with Biggest Loser Show Creators

I was sent a link to the January issue of Costco Connection which features an interview with JD Roth and Todd Nelson, the brains behind The Biggest Loser.

This team has produced numerous reality TV shows and the overriding theme in all their shows is Transformation.

Roth and Nelson share 6 lessons they've learned from their work with contestants on The Biggest Loser. It's a good read.

New Year's Weight Loss Resolutions - POLL

It's that time of year again...time to make your New Year's Resolutions...or intentions...or goals. Personally, I never make resolutions because I always break them. Instead, I'm setting an intention to lose weight and my goal is to lose the 20 pounds I've slowly put on over the last year.

What about you? Do you plan on starting a weight loss plan in 2011?

 

 

If you are starting a weight loss plan, which one are you joining or working with?

I've been invited to join The Biggest Loser Club with a couple of people so we can form a team and keep each other accountable. I'm a fan of the show and I checked out the Club and not only is it a darn good deal right now, but they have a lot of great tools and resources.  They even send you a custom menu and workout plan every day! I like that...no thinking required!

I just ordered a digital scale so I can get a more accurate look at my current reality. The old one I've been using is at least 5-7 pounds less than official scales (doctor's office, Weight Watchers). One thing I know I'll also be doing is stocking up on Vitalicous VitaTops so I can get my chocolate fix without too much guilt.

Whatever program you choose, be sure to join the Pound For Pound Challenge and help raise money for food banks across the United States by pledging the number of pounds you plan on losing.

By the way, if you've done, or are doing, The Biggest Loser program, please share your experience in the comments so I know what to expect. Thanks!

Fat Loss Quickie Scott Tousignant is an Inspiration to Many

Last week I had the pleasure of finally meeting Scott Tousignant, the genius behind the Fat Loss Quickie 10 minute work out program. I've been following Scott for a long time on twitter and was excited when I found out we would both be on the faculty at the Niche Affiliate Marketing System event.

Scott has an avid "cult" of followers! And I mean cult in a good way. I think there were about 30 people in attendance who are members of his Fat Loss Quickie experience. And they all looked great and raved about the workouts - 10 minutes you can do everyday in your home and/or office.

I couldn't resist and I joined the 6 month program. It's only been a few days and so far, each day I get an email with a link to a page with two videos: one for strength training and one for cardio. Plus there are occasional videos with nutrition tips.

I really like the format. It's simple and doesn't require a lot of time. And, the workouts are designed for the work at home entrepreneur, like me. I find myself sitting at my computer for hours on end so it's good to have a structured program I can easily get up and do when I need a break.

You don't have to join the program to get a ton of value from Scott Tousignant. He has a free motivation report with 36 Success Tips.

Ever since my favorite gym shut down last year, I've been hopping from one thing to the next, looking for the motivation and INSPIRATION to workout again with more consistency. I think I may have found it!
