MapMyWalk.com has recently issued a challenge to its members to lose weight for Valentine’s Day!
Whether losing weight is a surprise for a member’s existing significant other, or a personal goal that a member want to achieve in hopes of snagging a great date for Valentine’s Day, this challenge aims to provide participants with the motivation they need to lose weight. The flexible challenge allows MapMyRun.com members to specify how much weight they want to lose by Valentine’s Day, and provides them with online diet and exercise resources to help them achieve that goal.
While members participate in the Valentine’s Day weight loss challenge, they have the option to compete and have their name displayed on the leader board if they make it into one of the top 10 positions for the fastest progress towards their weight loss goal. Everyone who completes the challenge will be entered in a random drawing for prizes. The main prize being promoted in all the MapMyWalk challenges for 2008, however, is the peace of mind that comes with setting a fitness goal and achieving it.
"This is the first of many challenges we plan on issuing in 2008," said MapMyWalk co-founder Kevin Callahan. "We see the challenges as a great way to engage our already active member base and provide them with more of the resources they need to meet their fitness goals." MapMyWalk and its sister sites, MapMyRun.com and MapMyRide.com, plan on issuing more challenges specifically targeted towards runners, cyclists, and walkers throughout the year.
MapMyWalk.com membership is completely free and it only takes a minute or two to register, which removes one of the major barriers to weight loss for many individuals: Weight loss plans can be quite expensive. All of the resources that MapMyWalk provides for diet and exercise are free to access and use.

The Easiest Way To Lose Fat - No Dieting Or Exercise
If you think there is no easy way to lose weight - think again. The easiest weight loss method could have been staring you right in the face all this time. Here it goes: stop drinking soft drinks. Drink water instead.
Dumping the soft drinks from your diet will result in dropping some serious pounds. Think about it:
If you currently drink 3 soda cans a day, you can save 450 daily calories by switching to plain water. Water has zero calories. Let's do the math: since one pound of fat equals to 3500 calories, you will lose roughly one pound per week just by leaving the coke behind.
Yes, you've heard it right - you can lose a pound of fat every week while you eat as much as you normally do. No dieting, no starving - don't change a thing about what you eat. The only thing you change is what you drink.
Now, let's do some more math, which gets better and better. 1 lb per week equals 4 pounds per month. Multiply 4 pounds by 12 months, and we get 48 lbs of ugly fat per year.
Unbelievable?
Calorie savings on drinks provide you with yet another advantage: you can now eat more and still lose weight. For example, if you substituted 3 cans of soda every day with water, you have 450 calories to play with. If you eat an extra piece of chocolate that's worth 200 calories, you still save 250 calories and lose 24 lbs per year.
I can now almost hear you say - "Well, Melanie, what if I don't drink 3 cans of coke a day? I only drink one soft drink for lunch!" Good for you! Now, consider this: if you swap this lunchtime coke with water, you will lose 16 pounds per year. How's that for a freebie weight loss?
Since soft drinks don't make you full, it is very easy to dump them. Drinks are "liquid calories", "empty calories" - calories that are just not worth it. Soda drinks have no nutritional value - just useless sugars and chemicals that rot your teeth, make you gain weight and don't even fill you up.
Take advantage of the easiest weight loss tip on Earth - eat your calories, don't drink them.
