Fitness Challenge/Contest!!!!

Hi Everyone!

If you are reading this, it is because at some point or another, we have talked about health and fitness. Well, I have decided that I want to not just talk about it, but finally take action for my self, and I need your help! I, probably like a lot of you, am mentally weak when it comes to weight loss. I've always had an excuse... 'I needed to be big for track, I've always been this way, I'm just built this way, It's genetics, I get bored, I just had a baby, I'm 'happy' this way. While some of these may be legit, they are again, excuses. I'm done making excuses, and want to once and for all be healthy and look good!

As many of you may know, I did a sugar detox in November. Worked well, but time for more. I've decided to take on the 'Body for Life' Fitness Challenge by Bill Phillips. And this is where you come in... I need your support and help, and want all who need help, as well, to join me!!! I figure the bigger the support group, the more likely I am to succeed. The web site www.bodyforlife.com has an actual contest that has to be started between now and February 11, 2010. (Grand Prize $25,000!!!!!!) I plan on actually entering, and welcome any of you to enter as well. But on top of that, I plan on having my own contest for anyone that would like to enter. It will follow the same rules. (http://bodyforlife.com/challenge/whatis.asp) But your submissions are made to me, and I will pick a winner. That means before and after photos and an essay! These will remain confidential, but I plan on taking and posting my own on my blog for all to see (just please don't make fun:) And if anyone would like to post theirs with me as a little motivation, just let me know. www.askcandice.blogspot.com

So what do you win? For right now, I am offering up $100, but I want to try and find a few sponsors and see if I can get a little more. No measurements are required, but if anyone would like their measurements taken before and after, I will do them free of charge (body fat%, weight, and inches). I will be doing mine and posting them. I will also blog everyday about my workouts, and I will also post spreadsheets to print off for those who want to keep track.

What does it entail? The 'Body For Life' challenge is a high intensity cardio and weight lifting regimen. But, it is time efficient, thorough, and effective. It's 6 days a week, alternating between cardio, and weight lifting - the best part - the cardio is only 20 minutes!!! Weights lifting is closer to the 45 minute mark. Nutrition is also a key factor, but you actually get to eat, a lot! 6 meals a day, and a free day to boot! If this is something you are interested in, I recommend you obtain a copy of the book - amazon.com had tons of used copies. I plan on starting Monday, December 28, 2009 - why wait for the new year? Because this isn't about a new year, it's about a new life! If you want to join me, let me know with in the next couple of weeks. And please feel free to invite your friends and family to join!!! I hope you all have safe and Merry Christmas. God Bless!

Hi Candice. You look great!!!!! I was wondering if you could tell me what type of foods you ate while taking HCG. My bottle just came today and I understand it's only 500 calories but I was curious what foods you actually ate. Thanks so much for your help.
