Farewell 2 Fat

Gotta start packing on the pounds before Thursday!

I am starting an 8 week program at the at the Clearfield Aquatic Center called Farewell 2 Fat. It is kind of like the biggest loser. During the 8 weeks, you have a personal trainer and a nutritionist. Each week the nutritionist gives you a different nutritional goal like cutting all sugars out for the week, or cutting all soda out for the week. Everyone is on a team of 5 and you workout with the trainers and weigh in each week together. Then at the end of the 8 weeks, whichever team has lost the most percentage of weight wins. I am way excited to do it. Not so much for the weight loss, but I think it will help me be more healthy and motivated. And hopefully get me through the holidays without wanting to eat everything!!
Our team is me, Emily, Mandi, Mom and Megan. Our first weigh in is on Wednesday, where they take all your measurements, give you t-shirts, team bandanas and take team pictures. I know it sounds kind of corny, but I think it will be so much fun. There are a ton of girls in my ward and neighborhood that have done it every year and they say it is awesome. So we'll see. I'll have to post my teams picture after we weigh in on Wednesday. Wish me luck!!

I really wish we were closer and I would totally do it! I need something like that to get me motivated to eat better and to actually go to the gym. I love your new background- it is way cute!

Wow! Sounds fun and when mom told me you were doing it, it reminded me of the new episode of the office last week where they all get weighed together on the machine thing in the warehouse. Anyway, good luck and love ya!
