OPT(ing) for Fat Loss

[jenofthemountain]

So this month was all about maintaining... taking a bit from dieting. I think it was good for the mental health. I only gained a pound which is really good. Now back at it! I was hoping to be picked for Leigh's thing... but no go. So on to my own plan! Thinking of OPT remix at this point.

Sorry about the pics not being the same.. in a hurry and have company so couldn't do them in the normal spot!

so... I've been meaning to post this for a while but haven't had the time....

At work we do another "Biggest Loser" competition. I joined and got 9 others from my department to join! I am their "ring leader" and have been sending out tips every couple of days a la Leigh. - Drink your water, weigh and track your food, etc. It's been kind of fun and is getting me more moditvated myself.

The competition is for raising money for "relay for life" and so basically got a bunch people to join by saying I'd donate $5 for every single person who beat me. I figure at this stage in the game I am a easy target (but I will try to not to be that easy of target )

YAY on being a ringleader - inspiring others and passing on healthy tips is awesome! You're looking good - love that you took a month and did so well with maintain!

I'm with Bytsi, quite jealous of you maintaining for a month. I wish I could manage that, but never seem to. Here's hoping you don't have to pay the $5 for everyone though. Even if you did it would mean that you inspired others to lose, which is always a good thing.

Jen, what a great idea! And great job on the maintenance this month !

Nice update Jen, I'm coming to realize that maintenance is (dare I say it?) harder than even deficit! At least for me...
