This week at Parkers Place Weight Loss Challenge



This was a not a really good week for most of the challengers. They really worked hard at their weight training. Some worked out for about three hours at a shot. But at the end of the week some of them only saw a 1 to 2 pound weight loss. Why is that? What happened?

Well some people think that if you eat very little food you will lose a lot of weight and quickly. They are right! However, after a very short time period that catches up with you. You metabolism kicks in and slows down almost to a halt. Then what happens next is everything you eat becomes stored food.

Don’t fool yourself by thinking that if I just don’t eat that one meal I will lose weight. That will catch up with you quickly. You need to eat a balance diet filled with all of the requirements of the day. You need to drink water and put down that can(s) of beer. Consistency will get them to where they want to be. Consistency will help them change their lifestyles for the better.



Last week we also had the Psychologist come in and speak to the group. Here talk was on setting realistic goals and then how to manage them. At the end they really pumped and thanked her for her wisdom.
