A year in review

It's been just over a year that Bill extended his first challenge to me. WOW! what a change he made in me, my family, my friends, my students, my entire life. Yeah, I know I did the work, but without the knowledge and positive power of this website, this wonderful positive energy, Bill's books I wouldn't have finished. I have a great friend who just started the challenge with me today. She started last year and got s...

Change

I've been down in the dumps today. I want so much for people that tell me they want to change to actually start doing it. I challenged my whole school and only 3 actually did anything. About 10 showed interest. I work with about 150 people. I should be glad that they were motivated by me. I've challenged them again, and I hope I'll get cmmitted people. I'm also upset because my husband and I ...

Thanksgiving, Christmas

These 2 holidays are packed with cooking, sugar, fat and all those other things that are so bad for our body. I love them still and have no problem eating them for one day, but what do all of you mom's that have done this for years do on these special days? Are you just so strong it's no longer a tempation on the day after? Or, do you ???...

latest news from Bill

WOW!! as usual. I wish I could put into words all this transformation has done for me. I try and those that see me get inspired, but words don't ever do me justice for the depth I feel. I just completed my 2nd daughters wedding and am still catching up on all the things that had to be set aside while accomplishing a perfect event. The postive with that is that I didn't lose it. That's such a big part of the new me!ke...

BE THE INSPIRATION

I love watching and getting inspired by everyone on this site. I feel great. I only have 7.5 pounds to meet my goal. I'm in the lean body mass now so each pound is painfully slow, but I'm still losing the inches even when there is no weight loss. My school group is coming along. One of the team has lost 13 pounds in just 4 weeks. And, just when I wish I had more people on the team another school member calls an...

positives and negatives

I'm so excited I lost 4 pounds. I've only got 8 to go and I'll be at my goal weight. But, that's not all: Giving myself positive rewards for weight loss, overcoming my biggest problem, works. Negative reinforcers do too. I didn't get a free day last week because I didn't lose the weight and it made me work harder and chose more wisely my carbs and amounts. I tend to look large instead of small. This week I got ...

Weaknesses and overcoming them

My biggest weakness to overcome my body is rewarding myself with food. I'll get a treat as soon as I finish this job or if I lose 20 pounds I'll go out and eat. I've mostly overcome the grossness of this issue, but my free days have been out of control and I've gotten physically sick because of it. WHen you issued the punishment reward assignment, my punishment was no free day. My rewards have been clothes, but $ is scarce...

2 positive changes

I love this forum. I love all the comments and positive influence you all are on me to help me stay positive. The biggest #1 I want everyone to feel as great as I do. Tomorrow I meet with the 100+ staff at my school to start the challenge here. I've had many positive strokes from coworkers on being ready to take the challenge. #2 The enegy: like Marty stated: doing things that I couldn't have done physica...

Punishments and rewards

Assignment #5 was easy to give a punishment, take away the free day. But, then it felt like a reward when I got the free day. So, I limited my free day to just one piece of apple pie. I think this is why i haven't been losing as fast as I'd like. Anyway I decided I really need to plan a reward for when I get down the 15lbs by the Pirranha conference I wll splurge on a full body massage. It was hard rewarding my...

challenge#3

I love each of Bill's new challenges, it keeps me more focused. I know with the additional exercise, addition of penalties I will meet my challenge. This past month was difficult for me as I stayed at my mom's house and was invited to lots of famlly dinners. One free day I had 2 family reunions on the same day, with the visiting and less activity, I didn't lose the weight gain after this day, and then a week later I drove home and to keep myse...

40 pounds and counting

I was just sent this video post http://www.greatdanepromilitary.com/Battle%20Hymn/index.htm of school students performing the Battle Hymn and a dad's power POINT. You'll love it, take the time to enjoy our country and how it was founded.Today finally marks 40 pounds. I'm also beginning to see my upper rib. I'm on my 3rd set of clothes. When one set becomes so baggy they won't stay. What an excuse to start a new wardr...

I am totally committed to finding my perfect physical body (still in the making) so that thru me all those that knew the before me can see the POSITIVE physical, spiritual and emotional change and want it too.&nb...

One more for life

Today my mom joined in the challenge. It was fun having 3 generations work together. My mom didn't want to measure or do pictures and record the info. It wasn't until I showed her my beginning stats that she realized that by setting the before you can document your change and when you don't see the change you can reflect on how far you've come. At this time I've lost 10" in my waist. When I started the challenge...

Teacher challenge

More teachers are telling me they want to sign up in the fall. I'm sending them another post to let them know what their summer reading needs to be. I'm so excited. It gives me more strength to be good. I just noticed another change in me. For so long on this second challenge it's been about me looking good on the outside. Now that I keep having more people tell me how good I look I realize that it's more about...
