Scott Schwab:
On this, our first day of the new challenge, I wanted to welcome everyone to the challenge and wish you the best. For you to have success there are many things that will have to happen. The reason that we do not post a specific diet or regiment, is that everyone is different. Each of you know what your temptations, weaknesses, and justifications are. With that in mind, we hope you will set realistic goals and that you will not get into the habit of giving up or taking a break.
All of us have a propensity to celebrate, to divulge, and even pig out. There really isn't a problem with that, if you keep all things in moderation and reduce the frequency of going overboard. We encourage lifestyle adjustments and incremental improvements. The goal is to set specific goals for specific results. Be realistic! It is great to want to lose 20 pounds or stop eating candy, but that may not be realistic or possible within 8 weeks.
Usually people know what they struggle with, and that is what you need to fight. We spoke to a lady at the gym who is in her 50's and in great shape. She mentioned of the fight that she has everyday to improve. I thought about this with life and realized that anything that is worth it, will be a fight. Don't give up the fight because it is hard, but press forward because it is worth it.
Fighting for life and for what you want requires effort and motivation that sometimes you don't want to give. Remember the alternative though. You will be more happy, achieve more, and accomplish goals; by having a balance of health and fitness.
Mental health is a large part to how you feel and even how you look. Regardless of your size or stature, you need to be happy with what you got! Don't spend a lot of time wondering what it would be like if you looked like sue or Connie or Brenda, (if you even know anyone with those names). The point of mental health is to be happy in your own skin. If you are happy now, you will be happy when you lose the weight. Plus the stress that you put on yourself, is difficult for your body to cope with and produce results. You will not be happy "if" and "when" unless you are happy now.
For those of you and I who have ever thought about "cant", watch this
