FIRST, let me start off by saying this…I can’t express how overjoyed I am about the response, participation, and interest I received to my Facebook call to help choose the name for my upcoming 90 Day Weight Loss Accountability Program. The comments were coming so fast I couldn’t keep up. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your feedback, input, and support.
SECOND, for all you Anxious Annie’s who can’t wait to find out which name I selected, scroll down to the big, bright red wording…BUT you must promise me you’ll finish reading the rest!!! Deal?? GO!
Okay, so as I was saying…
Losing weight AND keeping it off is HARD! Plain and simple. The journey is paved with ups and downs, start and stops, challenges, victories, triumphs, and obstacles. But here’s what I know for sure. One of the key ingredients to weight loss success is Accountability. I can’t tell you how many times I have pushed forward and kept going on the sheer strength of some else’s belief in me… someone else cheering me on…someone else saying, “you can do it!”
Accountability makes you do stuff on the sheer strength that someone else is watching and you don’t want to let them down.
Accountability helps you to stick to your commitments.
Accountability makes you go when EVERYTHING in you wants to stop!
A little over a year and a half ago, I conducted a weight loss motivation seminar, in which I shared the things I had done to lose 71 lbs. (Oh my goodness this was a good feeling)
The seminar was a success in that those who attended left feeling encouraged and inspired and motivated to make some changes. GREAT! That’s exactly what I wanted the seminar to do. But there was a missing link. There was no follow-up and no Accountability, and the motivation to move forward fizzled fast.
Because I know how hard it is to stay motivated and to keep going, and because I have such a passion to help other women accomplish what I KNOW can be done, and because I know that there is strength in numbers…I have decided to present the seminar again AND to add a 12 week (90-days) accountability component so that we can all usher in the New Year already in full swing of realizing our weight loss goals!
Herein comes the name for the accountability program. Whatever should I call it? I chose the following options because:
Slimpossible conjured up the thought that being slim, healthy and fit is definitely POSSIBLE!
Weight-less communicated that we could lay down the burden of the weight and all that came with it and be lighter in our physical bodies, mental thoughts, and emotional feelings.
Weight No More meant we could to stop living our lives on pause until the weight came off and we could start living and enjoying life NOW, as we work through the process.
So those where the choices and 67 of you “weighed in” with your preference. The tally was close:
-
Weight-less – 1
-
Slimpossible – 36
-
Weight No More -30
So now, without further ado….Drum Roll Please…..the name I selected was…
WEIGHT NO MORE!!!!!
I’m so EXCITED! See I’m getting my Happy Dance on!
More News…
The seminar I mentioned earlier, I will be conducting it again in October. It will be held on Saturday, October 18th and the “Weight No More 90 Day Accountability Program” will start on October 20th and run right through the New Year, ending on January 17th. There will be a cost for the program BUT I guarantee you the results you will see in your body, mind, and spirit will out weigh the cost ten fold.
But wait, there’s more….
For those who are ready to get started RIGHT NOW, like me and for those who have already said…COUNT ME IN…I will be adding you to my Weight No More Facebook Group and we will begin our first challenge on August 1st! Details to follow. I’m so excited!!! Thank you all again for your feedback, interest, and support!! I really appreciate you guys
One last thing…
Pssst, come a little closer…in case you haven’t figured out, this is just another way for me to hold myself accountable as well. My weight loss journey scripture says it all:
but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified – 1 Corinthians 9:27 (NASB)
