I love watching 'The Biggest Loser' I think it's pretty motivational but I do have one major complaint aside from the never ending commercial breaks and rolling numbers scale...I think that having all the success being based on pounds lost can be discouraging. If you get to a place where the numbers on the scale don't seem to be moving for a week or so even though you have been diligent with exercise and nutrition, don't give up, make sure you have other qualifiers of success; take your measurements, know what size clothes you're currently wearing (and how they fit) take pictures and be conscious of how your body works.
One of my ways to check my progress is going to be how my favorite pair of overalls fit me...I can't wait for them to be a little on the baggy side and I will be sure and take a picture when I get there! Sunday nights have become picture nights when my daughter takes full body shots of me...smiling helps!
Have a great week!
I agree with you about the Biggest Loser and other ways to celebrate success. I'm disappointed when someone loses 5, 6, 7, 8 pounds but is not happy because it wasn't the number the team needed. Any weight loss should be celebrated!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas about picture taking, measuring etc.
