Okay, this challenge will start on Feb. 15th and last through St. Patrick's Day (March 17th). The whole focus of this challenge is "green".

The Shamrock is the symbol of Ireland. Since it is a 3 leaf clover, I thought.....why not let it symbolize our weight loss goal. The goal is to lose 3 lbs per week, which would total a 12 lb loss for the entire goal.

I also thought it would be a good idea to try to eat more "green" foods. Foods like lettuce, spinach, broccoli, green beans, etc. These food are typically harder to eat for some of us, but very healthy. So if you can tolerate it, let's give it a try!

Last but not least, I thought it would be a wonderful idea to give back to the environment. Let's "go green" for one month. Simple, everyday changes can make a big difference. Here are just a few: 1.)Change the thermostat setting by lowering it by a few degrees in winter and raising it a few degrees in summer. 2.)Wash clothes in cold water when possible. 3.)Use longer-lasting, low-energy compact fluorescent light bulbs. 4.)Reduce electricity by using more natural light. 5.)Recycle.

These are just a few simple changes that can improve our environment greatly. Okay everyone, LET'S GET STARTED!!!

Well, I was 2 pounds off, but glad I was able to lose 12 pounds in the last month. This weekend I had a little more alcohol that I had wanted lol, which is why I think I didn't lose more weight. But I'm happy as hell! :shades_smile: It's all gonna work out in the end!
