I'm a Part of the "Flabulous 8"

Pin It
Remember when I mentioned that I was applying to become a participant on the Flab to Flab weight loss challenge? Well they announced the official 8 contestants and I have been chosen to be one of them!

The contests officially begins on Monday so I have tonight and tomorrow to eat whatever I want. To be fair, I can still eat whatever I want, but now prizes, pride, glory and internet fame are involved. And y'all know how badly I crave attention. Almost as badly as I'm going to be craving Pepsi for the next eight weeks.

Seriously. It might get violent.

I'm putting my husband, dog and cat's lives on the lines by the very thought of taking caffeine out of this house.

But I'm determined to make this work. I need this. I need to be healthy. I need to be motivated and find myself again. I need to prepare my body for the future.

While only 8 contestants were chosen this is only round one of Flab to Fab Challenge. In 8 weeks, after one of us is chosen as the winner, the contest starts all over again. It's Biggest Loser: Blogger Style! So head over to the website and follow, subscribe and be sure to leave lots of comments to keep us contestants motivated, and don't forget to choose your favourite contestant (that would be me, by the way).

So stay tuned and see how horrible this will be for me (despite being worth it in the end). I'll be extra whiny, bitchy and possibly more amusing over the next eight weeks. Also, you'll be able to see the dreaded before pics I took a few weeks ago but refused to post them here. Fab to Flab required them.

Wish me luck y'all!

PS: Any suggestions for some uplifting music to add to my playlist? Cause really there's only so many days I can leave "Defying Gravity" on repeat.

Mean . . . . but totally understandable. Would you consider it cheating if I sent you a box of deep fried butter covered in chocolate and sugar? LOL!

Charlotte said...

Good luck! I need to really get in shape, it is bad when I get winded climbing the stairs.

Untypically Jia said...

Doesn't everyone? I have an asthma attack just staring at the stairs. And I live on the second story. Taking my dog down to pee everyday requires a twenty minute motivational speech.

Good luck! I will be rooting for you! I was watching DWTS tonight, and being very envious that I would never look as sexy as them on the dance floor.

I totally need "Team Jia" badges. Mostly because I've seen the other contestants blogs and they have tons of followers and stuff. But my followers are the best!

Good luck!!!

I posted a few songs on the Facebook discussion page.

You are going to miss Pepsi...maybe I should be really mean...and start posting lots of pictures of what everyone will be missing the most... :)

Nahh....but you'll miss your Pepsi, and I will miss my Coke. It will suck, we will get through it. And our butts are going to look so hot come June! :)

Untypically Jia said...

Seriously. I'm a total Pepsi addict. I get caffeine headaches when I stop drinking soda. This is going to be hard. But worth it.

Anneke said...

Thats amazing, congratulations Jia. Canada as rooting for you!!

You know I'm there for 100% support. If you need things along the way you know to ask! I've given you the start! Good luck and you'll do great! Not only are you accountable to me, but the blogger world, no pressure!

Good luck, I just read your post 'I would die for that'. It was heartbreaking. I truly you get your wish soon and the baby you want. My future husband was 6 years in the making so don't give up. As for uplifting songs, I personally love this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fw8BSd8n5o

Thinking of you xx

Here from HYC. Good luck with this new challenge, I've not heard of it before but I'll definitely be checking it out when it's not stupidly late and passed time I was in bed - it certainly sounds like a great idea but a tough challenge!
