It's All About The Motivation...


and we've got some motivated people! We are well on our way to breaking the Olympic record! With 212 pounds lost yesterday, we're close to half way...with only two weigh-in's behind us! That's exciting!

Two new teams took home the white jackets on Tuesday. At noon, team 'Blacks 2B' won the prize for the week with a 2.82% of weight loss. Congratulations to Rick and Colby! Six PM named a familiar team the winners. Team 'P2:The Sequal' took home the jackets with a weekly weight loss % of 2.44. The white jacket slipped right over Bruce's shoulders with his 78 pound loss! Congrats to our Potluck Pastors...Bruce and Barry!

You were challenged last week to take a look at your motivation! Two winners walked away with a fun prize...a GIANT word "COURAGE" to adhere to a wall space! I hope Casey and Shawn will place that somewhere that continues to inspire them and give them the courage to change!

As we looked further into motivation this week we learned more about using pain and pleasure to motivate us. Everything we do, we do out of our need to seek pleasure and avoid pain. The key to using pain and pleasure for your weight loss program is to link as much pain as possible to being over weight and eating unhealthy and rewarding yourself for the opposite! Changing your thinking about food will ultimately be what keeps your weight off for life!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Link pain to over eating...link pleasure and rewards to your new healthy eating.

We've got great things in store for you in the next weeks to come. Keep focused, dig in to all the challenges and support your team mate too.


A big tthanks to our Sponsor for the week:
