I've had a lot of positive comments from people as well, which has spurred me on to continue doing this, however there are a series of continuing probolems:
- Girls are ashamed to admit they're doing the challenge to other followers etc so aren't posting anything
- Girls have forgotten/can't be arsed
- Challenges aren't being done, and if they are im not being told about them!
- etc etc etc.
I'm frustrated. Incredibly frustrated. Before i continue being negative i want to say an absolutely HUGE thank you to Lisa, Victoria, Sam, Lyd and Charlotte, every week without fail i have a post or video to watch or read from you lot, and if i havent then ive got a text or email explaining why, and i really, really appreciate it that you take as much time out of your week as i do to continue with this!!
This week i've gained 1.5lbs, im not even remotely surprised. I've been feeling quite down and demotivated about everything; weight loss, uni, etc. This week i'm in a much better place mentally, ive started a couple of assignments and i'm blitzing along with them today, i've also stuck to points really well today so im hoping for a niiiice big loss for next week!
The challenge for this week is to tell me why you are taking part in this challenge? why did you sign up? do you feel you have achieved anything?
There are going to be a few changes to the challenge over the next couple of weeks:
1. I will be contacting the girls who 'can't be arsed' and informing them they have been removed from the challenge (i have no idea when this will be! due to the next point)
2. As i'll be incredibly busy with uni i wont be recording videos for a couple of weeks, i have asignments due and an economics exam on wednesday so my time is going to be used revising and writing :( videos should continue in the last couple of weeks of the challenge if they can!!
3. Those who have shown continuous loyalty etc throughout will be receiving a thank you from me at the end of the challenge, depending on how many people i have left taking part at that point, i may still post prizes!
On a concluding note, im sorry that this is so negative and awful but im genuinly upset that people have just dropped off as time has gone on. Filming a video takes me roughly 30 mins, editting it takes another 30-45mins, saving it takes 15mins, uploading it takes roughly 2 hours. Thats 3.5 hours out of my monday or tuesday!!
Anyway, heres a nice motivational picture for those of you who can be arsed!
To those of you who have been bothered, i look forward to your videos and blogs this week! xo
It sucks that people haven't been taking part like they said they would! If I would of known about it when it started, I would definitely of joined in the challenge! xxx
ReplyDeleteI really appriciate everything you have do in regard to this challenge.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Sam xxxx
Even though i am not apart of the challenge i still enjoy reading the girls posts about how they are getting on as i find it very motivating. It is a shame that you have put a lot of effort into this project which is not appreciated by some participants, but maybe view it as their loss and if they cant be bothered then at least you know you will be fit and fabulous come the end of it all regardless of what they do :)
ReplyDeleteLike thedicegirl, even though I'm not actually taking part in your Weight Loss Chellenge, I really love reading the posts from the girls and seeing how they are getting on. It has spurred me on to do my own challenge even if it isn't doing that well so far!
ReplyDeleteThe point is you are an inspiration to some of us. :)
If they can't be arsed then it's their own fault. There was encouragement and support from all the girls doing the challenge with you, and I just think it's kinda rude for them to join up and then not to bother.
Well done to you and the girls continuing with your efforts, I really hope you all see some fab results. x
Thats a real shame that you are going to such hard work and people aren't keeping up with it. You should concetrate on the people that are because they will benefit from it the most. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't think about the people who can't be arsed! Just think about yourself and the people who are still doing it and how well you are all doing. I love reading the wlc posts even though im not doing it myself, it great to see you are all supporting each other and doing so well.
ReplyDeleteThink positive :)
Chuck I've been posting every week? I'm continually appreciative of everything you do for all of us - sorry if you've missed a post along the way or something. I am literally finding it impossible to film in my house at the moment as there's always someone in. But I think you're brilliant, and an inspiration. You inspire me every week, and I feel I've only got myself back on track because I've got you and the other girls reading too!

ReplyDeleteDon't get down about it - lots of people say 'yeah count me in' but when it comes down to it they can't be bothered. Remember when I organised the Aussie party with K & D? About 10 people initially said yes then changed their minds, and 3 people didn't turn up at all even though they had confirmed!
ReplyDelete5 people is better than none. I'll update again at the end of the week.
Having a pretty rough time of it tbh - lost half a stone in 2 weeks through stress! :/

ReplyDeleteHey luv I have been posting, I know I always post at the end of the week but thats because I have college/work at the start of the week and I cant get it done:( I will let you know from now on when I post x
