Strength In Numbers

Organize a group weight loss or fitness challenge. For example, me and my sister just organized a family weight loss challenge that begins soon. The person who loses the most weight in x amount of time, is the winner! This is a great way to get positive support & get healthy!

Everyone has some kind of challenge!!!

We all have goals and someone might not have a weight loss challenge, but something else. Find out their goals and turn their journey into a challenge between you both. My husband is quitting smoking; my brother is working on cleaning out the attic little by little & a friend is weining off soda!

MORE INFORMATION:
My husband went from smoking a carton a week to smoking outside at a 10# wt loss; not smoking in the cars at a 15# wt loss and down to no more than a pack a week at 20# wt loss. It's a very supportive challenge for us both and it works with other goals like the attic, the soda, any challenge!

Exercise Bike Endurance

I started my weight loss challenge weighing 333.6lb. I decided to buy a recumbent exercise bike to help me lose weight. At first I could barely complete 10 mins, but in just 2 weeks I can now ride 11 miles in 30 minutes.

Start slow and do what you can. You will be amazed at how quickly can quickly you can build endurance and lose weight by using an exercise bike!I have lost 30lbs now in 6 weeks

MORE INFORMATION:
Try a Recumbent if you are worried about your lower back, the support they provide is wonderful.
