Many of you know that I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle. I train hard and aim to support my body with proper nutrition. I am human and not exempt from bad habits. I am busy caring for 3 small children, stressed, trying to manage a business and everyday life like the rest of you. In the summer, I picked up some bad habits (late night snacking, alcohol at summer BBQ’s or get togethers), etc. How did it affect me? It made my abs disappear and my waist line grow!
I did not have much to lose, which made things that much harder. I entered my new eating plan with a focus on healthy hormones and a decrease in body fat. I made the decision to start on September 12. What were my results only 6 weeks later? 9.6lb weight loss, a 6.2% decrease in Body Fat and 5.2 inches (2 of that was off my waiste line), having more energy than I ever had, clear skin, better sleep, less mood swings, etc.

Contest Rules
1. All contestants must weigh in with your Trainer, Trina Medves (or person designated by your Trainer) on the same scale at the same time. This keeps things consistent (and honest).
2. Results will be based on the percent of body weight loss. The calculation is to take your actual weight (AW at end date) and subtract it from your initial weight (IW at start date). Then divide that number by your IW. Take that number and multiply it by 100 and you get your weight loss percentage. ((IW-AW)/IW) * 100 = weight loss percentage.
So if I start at 211, and I lose 5 lbs in a month and end up at 206.
That’s 211-206 (5 lbs.) Take 5 lbs. and divide it by my starting weight (211). 5/211 = .023697
Multiply that by 100 and you get 2.37%
3. “HAVE FUN”, eat healthy, and exercise.
4. The first weigh in will be on Thursday, January 26, 2012 7 -7:45pm (first come first serve upstairs at the Dofasco Park Rec Centre – you will not be accepted at 7:46pm).
5. The final weigh in will be on Thursday, March 8, 2012 from 7pm – 7:45pm (first come first serve upstairs at the Dofasco Park Rec Centre).
6. Weigh ins will occur every Thursday from 7 – 7:45pm (first come first serve upstairs at the Dofasco Park Rec Centre, you can bring your children with you). Stroller Boot Camp weigh in option every Wed (Jan 25 -Feb 29 at 9:15am sharp). No exceptions will be made for any other days or times. You must stick to either Wednesdays or Thursdays.
Please note that if you miss your weigh in time you must pay your fee and you will not be eligible to be weighed in until the following week (you will not be weighted at 7:46pm)
7. The registration fee “MUST” be paid in advance to guarantee a spot.
8. You can join at any time during the first 3 weeks (but the longer you wait the harder it will be to win).
9. All monies owing to the penalty pot (components are enumerated in bullets 11-14) must be paid during the time of weigh in or prior to the following weigh in. If you have a bad week, be prepared to break out the spare change.

11. There will be a penalty fee of $1 applied if your weight stays the same.
12. There will be a penalty fee of $1 if you miss weighing in. This dollar will be combined with the weekly weigh in fee of $1, for a total of $2 dollars each time you miss a weigh in. If you know you are away, please pay in advance.
13. There will be a penalty fee of $1 added for each pound gained. (i.e. Gain 3 pounds, you owe $3, applies to past week’s weight, not starting weight).
