You're in!

On Day 41 of Boot Camp, we asked you to share how you're going to keep the weight off for a chance to win a copy of Judith Lederman's book Joining the Thin Club.

Congratulations to Jannine, who told us:
"I will strive to maintain a balance in my life: time for everything and always time for taking care of me. I will enjoy in moderation but will always look for ways to fit in movement. 15 minute walk at lunchtime, 30 min walk after dinner, walk to the corner store, etc. Cut out all the extra “bad and unnecessary” calories and increase my intake of water, fruits and veg. Of course, always get a good night rest."

Congratulations on joining the thin club, Jannine! I hope you enjoy your prize.

Spectro-tastic!

Congratulations to 'Bev Hatcher', who has won our Boot Camp Diaries Day 31 contest and will receive a fabulous Spectro HydraCare Simple, Smart Skin Care Prize Pack valued at over $250!

On Boot Camp Day 31, I asked how you reward and treat yourself without pigging out at restaurants. Bev told us:

"I like to go out to eat with my husband and sometimes my family, but I am on a different diet than they are, so I usually measure and cook my protein before we go out and I put it in a snack bag to go with me. Then my husband orders whatever he wants and I order a tossed salad with no dressing and lemon wedges on the side. I then add my protein and squeeze of lemon. I enjoy my meal knowing that I am eating healthy and I will feel better for it."

Wow. That is dedication. Thanks for inspiring us, Bev, and enjoy your prize!

On Day 32, I invited you to tell us about your favourite weight-loss celebrity for a chance to win three books from Bob Green: The Best Life Diet, The Best Life Diet Cookbook and The Best Life Diet Daily Journal.

Congratulations to ‘Becky R’, who told us:
“My fave is Jann Arden. She is our local Canadian who did it just because she wanted to be healthy. She was already a great performer, her before weight didn’t hold her back. However, when she decided it was time to be healthy, nothing could stop her.”

Enjoy living your ‘Best Life’, Becky!

Can you believe it's Day 30 already? Just 12 more days to go.

On Day 22, we asked how you find the right balance between healthy living and living it up. Boot Camper 'Kat D' told us:

"I have become a reformed perfectionist. Almost my entire life I have demanded perfection of and from myself. It’s a recipe for failure! I have learned to strive for excellence, NOT perfection. This means not being so hard on myself and being patient with myself. It doesn’t include forgiving myself because nothing that I do or don’t do requires forgiveness because - I’m not perfect and that is finally OK with me!"

Kat D wins a copy of Kirsten Hartvig's book The Healthy Diet Calorie Counter, and to balance it out, a copy of Daisy Westmoor's It Doesn't Count if . . . it's the Last One — and 204 More Reasons Why You Can Eat That.

Thanks for inspiring us to shoot for excellence as we continue Boot Camping through the next 12 days!
