2013 Official Chaz Weight Loss Challenge

^healthy pizza? If you want to put a little effort in, we usually use big flat slices of eggplant, "bread" them by dipping in egg & I forget... almond flour maybe? Pan-"fry" quick, then put marinara (we use organicville.. no extra... anything. Lol) and some cheese, sometimes some pepperoni, and it's DELICIOUS. Also fantastic reheated the next day for lunch.

Yesssssss. I used to drink around 120oz per day, and now I'm down to like, 20. I'm slowly building back up. Thankfully, I LOVE water.

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 191 lbs (lost roughly 12 lbs since Nov 28th)
Goal: 150 lbs and tone up my legs, butt, arms, and back.

How I plan to do this: Right now I work at a horse farm 5 days a week for 10-12 hrs a day. I am on my feet 95% of that time. I am toning my butt and legs everyday but definitely need to lose my belly.
I want to walk more, start riding again, and get into training the babies/yearlings.

My end result - Lose weight, be toned, feel confident, wear shorts by the summer, and hopefully start talking to an Army recruiter again. I've always wanted to join, as y'all know, and i feel if i don't join then i will be letting down a dream of mine.

I saw a recipe for using a whole grain tortilla, putting some marinara sauce and low fat mozzarella cheese on it, along with other veggies, etc, and wa-laa! A pizza for less than 180 calories.

One of my favorite quick dinners! I just toss it under the broiler, and it is hot and ready in minutes. Just as quick as microwaving a frozen meal, and far yummier!

This sounds phenomenal. I think I might try it and just leave out the cheese. Thanks for sharing!

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 128lbs
Goal: I don't have a specific weight goal, but I want to lose my belly paunch and be stronger. I'll probably end up gaining weight.

I'm lifting weights at home while watching TV, doing push ups, sit ups, squats--trying to build muscle. I need to stay active.

Anyone have any reward goals? These really help get me motivated..I like to combine one fitnessy thing with one fun thing

- 125: New water bottle and 5 new books!

- 120: New polo shirt and new running shoes

- 115: New workout shorts and new jeans

- 110: CELEBRATORY GOAL WEIGHT PHOTOSHOOT WITH MERLIN
and what will I be wearing for some of this photo-shoot? Nothing but a sports bra, shorts and my running shoes!

Pictures of the numbers on the scale will be posted to keep me honest! I'm so excited!

Ooh, that's a great idea, Fran! I'll have to think on that one.

The only thing I've thought of so far is that if I'm good for a whole week I get to have a mug of hot chocolate or a Caribou coffee drink. But this will have to start in February since I really REALLY want to do a whole month without any dairy at all. I even chose a salad dressing that didn't have any dairy!

I think that getting new clothes will be a great motivator and happy fun time for me since I need new clothes desperately. I haven't gotten a new t-shirt in probably the last 2-3 years. Most of the ones I wear are from high school. The one I have on right now is from my middle school field hockey camp in 2003!! That's 10 years old!

I'm not admitting my weight for all of internet land to see.... LOL. But, more so than loosing "weight," I just want to shape up and get healthy.

Methods: I'm going to start by doing the juiced veggie detox diet for 2 weeks(think the documentary fat sick and nearly dead), after that I'm going to continue the Juice as my daily breakfast(except sundays). I'm also going to switch things in my diet for healthier options, like coconut oil instead of butter, agave or pure maple syrup instead of sugar, cut out anything that is not a WHOLE grain(no white rice, or bleached flour, etc), make my own bread to avoid all the chemicals and preservatives in store bread, no processed foods, and try to buy as much organic as possible.

I'll be doing daily walking and yoga/pilates.
