Twitter 10 lb Challenge

The inevitable happened. I've hit the cliched "last 10 lbs" plateau. I didn't think it would happen since I made it through the holiday by actually LOSING weight. Maybe I got too confident and cocky in my weight loss. Maybe I was on so much adrenaline before Christmas that the post holiday slump has hit my weight loss hard. Maybe it's just my pig out sessions on pretzels. Whatever the case, I need a motivator and I can't do it alone. I need my Twitter buddies!

For those of you in Twitterland and on Weight Watchers, you may be a WW Tweet member: sharing your stories of successes or bummer days. Many thanks to the ladies over at "Does This Blog Make Me Look Fat" for starting this group. I love finding other women who have the same goal in common. My entire WW journey has been through the Internet using the online tools. I haven't been to meetings and haven't really relied on the help and encouragement of a group. But I think it's time. For the last push, I want to get there together. So, here's the challenge:

By using Twitter and WW Tweets, let's lose 10 lbs by March 1. I initially thought, maybe by Valentine's Day, but that's like crazy dieting and I can't do that. March 1 gives us about 6 weeks at around 1-2 lbs per week.

Just follow these steps to get started:

1) First, you must follow WW Tweets.
2) Anytime you want to message the ENTIRE CHALLENGE GROUP, you have to send a DM to WWTweets. Do NOT do an @ reply.
3) To join the challenge, DM WWTweets and paste the following: "@hmorris0506 Count me in for the 10 lb challenge!" and include your WI day.
4) Spend the week offering tips on fitness & food, asking questions and sending motivating messages. Whatever you like. Just add the hashtag #10lbchallenge in your message.
5) Lastly, leave a comment with your Twitter address so we can follow each other and offer support beyond this challenge. You can find me over at @hmorris0506.
6) Bookmark this post and once a week, post your weigh-in stats, food or fitness tips or the week, and what you will do differently (if necessary) next week.
