Lose Weight With Us!

You’ve probably seen the coverage of our Kansas City FBG Weight-Loss Challenge, but I wanted to give some much-needed love to our virtual weight-loss challenge ladies. Right now we have two groups of women who are are gathering together and getting healthy through a lively, honest and educational two-hour weekly webinar and discussion.

The first group is in Horicon, Wis., and is a great bunch of ladies looking to balance life…work…kids…everything! Their struggles are just like many women out there: How do I get these last stubborn 15 pounds off? What healthy snacks can I pack when my workday starts at 7 a.m. and doesn’t end until 7 p.m.? And how the heck do I eat healthy without having to cook one meal for me and one meal for my family? (Note: We help with that!)

The second group is in Tampa and is an energetic bunch of gals, some of whom are training for the upcoming Disney Half Marathon. So their needs and questions revolve around things such as: What do I eat before a long run? I’m not hungry at breakfast, so what do I do? Can I lose weight while training? And do I have to follow my running plan perfectly to finish the race? (Again, they ask, we answer!)

What is so great about both of these teams is that although we’re teaching them virtually how to eat, live and feel like a Fit Bottomed Girl inside and out, they’re actually the ones empowering each other to make these changes. Stacey in Wisconsin runs her challenge with eight women, most of whom are co-workers, and Monique (Dr. Mo for short!) leads a group of five ladies ready to change their lives and reach their fitness goals. Each week they meet, measure each other’s inches (no scales here, please!) and help keep one another accountable in a supportive environment.

Losing weight by yourself is no fun. And it can be a lonely journey sometimes. So instead of making it hard, why not get healthy with a group of your friends, coworkers, neighbors or family? If you’re ready to stop with the fad diets and the yo-yoing and are ready to change your life like the groups in Wisconsin and Florida have, learn more about becoming an FBG Weight-Loss Challenge leader and apply now.
