Well- the Naked Fitness, New Year Challenge is over. We find out the top three losers today (I don’t think I am one of them).
Below are my final stats:
- Auditioned on January 9th for Naked Fitness
- First (real) Weigh-in on January 16th – Gained 2lbs since audition (ouch-but I was eating everything in sight)
- Second Weigh-in Jan 23- Lost 8lbs!
- Third Weigh-in Jan 30- Lost 4lbs!
- Fourth and final Weigh-in February 6th – lost 2lbs!
Total Weight-loss: 14lbs since January 16th
Inches lost- 4inches lost in my waist!
Here are my thoughts in bullet form:
- Eating 9-11 servings of fruits and veggies, getting 80-100 grams of protein in and working out/walking 2 hours a day can be difficult – but not impossible.
- I can treat my body with the respect it deserves AND have fun with my friends at the same time.
- DIET SODA IS EVIL. I have been off diet soda (almost completely) since January 16th. I had about 6 sips on superbowl Sunday and about 4 sips last night. I just don’t want it or even have a taste for it anymore. I think I do, but when I try it, it just tastes bad.
- Sleep is very much needed to keep my body moving.
- The iPhone app “lose it” has been my savior. Entering everything I eat and my exercise keeps me on track for the day.
- 4 inches off my waist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- I FEEL better. My body seems more in tune with itself. I still have more weight to lose, but this was an awesome start.
Here are the basics of the Naked fitness plan (from Andrea Metcalf):
• Eat 9-11 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
• Eat color and variety as often as possible
• Monitor and eat 25 grams of fiber daily including at least 5 grams of whole
grains meaning that 5 grams of your fiber intake is not from fruits or veggies.
• Eat 80-100 grams of protein.
• Drink water over any other beverage with every meal.
• Get at least 7 hours of sleep every day (making up hours on weekends if you
cannot sleep at least 7 hours weekdays)
• Find your breath and count five slow deep breaths every morning, lunch,
dinner and before every meal.
• Limit processed foods and be conscious of your choices each time you fuel
your precious engine.
• Drink your Elations
• eat at least 4-5 meals/snacks a day
• a meal has both protein and carbs and under 450 calories
• a snack has both protein and carbs and under 250

what a great success! congrats!
are you planning to stick with the nutritional guidelines of your program? what about the walking?
Fatinah´s last blog ..Biggest Loser – Didn’t watch? Then don’t read!!
Way to go! 4″ loss is awesome! I’m curious, were the meal portions about like you would expect your Grandma to eat?
Very inspiring post. I’ve been lurking watching your progress and I might become a copy-cat
Thanks for sharing.
they ARE Miss Anna!
The portions are small, and I feel satisfied but not full after eating (like Weight Watchers says stay between a 2 and a 3 on their scale from 1-5… there) 
Great Question lady!
I am going to stick with the program. We are going to continue weighing each month for the rest of the year to chart our progress. While Valentines Day weekend was a bit of a mess food-wise for me (a real post on that coming soon) I am keeping up with my 2 hours of walking each day and good eating habits. While I am not eating EXACTLY what I did before, I am off diet soda (for good? I think so! Each time I try a few sips I don’t like it!) and while I have had fast food (see: Valentine’s Day Weekend) it made me feel icky and I don’t want it again. I am trying out a 90/10 rule: 90 percent of the time eat like I SHOULD, 10 percent of the time eat not-so-good. Saturday is the next weigh-in, so we shall see how my 90/10 rule treats me. My goal is to be back in ONEderland this weekend.
