Only five more weeks to go in the Mayors' Challenge. Here's some items from their weekly updates:
- It's a great time to get outside and get moving! Gardening can be a great way to add activity to your day. Walking around the neighborhood after dinner and on the weekend can give you added energy and burn calories. Taking a 10-minute walk at work can burn calories and give you a boost. Revisit Guilford County's parks and trails at the Healthy Guilford Web site.
- Look for Gibsonville Mayor Lenny Williams, his daughter and his grandson on the WFMY Good Morning Show. Three generations will talk about how they are losing weight.
- Success Stories
"I am happy and proud to say that I lost 8 pounds during the month of February. I cut back on sweets, carbs, and salts. I also increased my water intake to help flush the salts from my system. I eat 3 times a day and 3 healthy snacks." - Dalene Johnson
"So far, I've lost 7 pounds by eating smaller portions. I've also joined the Y in High Point." - Jinx Wood

Okay, well now I'm officially discouraged.
Eight pounds in a month? That's TWO pounds per week, which is just not happening for me. Is it possible to eat too few calories and slow down your metabolism?
Sigh.
I hear ya, Gigi.
I think the 10 pounds is good goal (depending on your weight) but it may not happen for some people in 10 weeks. And I include myself in that.
Staying motivated and committed are the keys.
I actually think it is possible to eat too little and slow your metabolism down.
I'm going to do a little research and post something on that.
Anyone more knowledgeable want to add their two cents?
