It is Dreaded Friday again!

So hope everyone weighs in early and then you can enjoy your weekend. A week of no exercise for me so only lost .1 not so good.

Last weeks standings

Deon 1.5 lbs

Kara 1 lb

Erin 1lb

Sid .6 lb

Ronalie .5 lb

Chris .4 lb

Jill ??

Way to go everyone!! It all adds up overtime so don't give up already!!

Let me know what you think about the rules changing or if you want to just keep them the same. Leave a comment with your lost or gain for this week and think warm and happy thoughts so we can get rid of this snow!!

Change the Rules??

Ok, So my mom already wants to change the rules. If you know my mom this would not surprise you! So we are thinking the inches lost are really hard to measure accurately. So what if we don't do a prize for the most inches lost but do a weekly prize of $3 for the most weight lost each week. (Deon that means you would win for the first week). Let me know what you think or if you have any other great ideas to make this better.

Hey Everybody It is Friday!!

So I hope all of you had an amazing first week. I lost .6lbs (wow). I can smell victory already. I am hoping that you all did way better than that!! I have to blame some of mine on the primary activity yesterday. After which I had to come home and eat 4 poppy seed muffins.

Try not to get discouraged with whatever you lost or gained. Keep working hard, exercising, eating right, and getting your water. Even if the weight doesn't come off as fast as it seems to go on, it will all help you feel better and at least you have started!!

Leave a comment with the gain or loss for this week and then I will report who is in the lead so far so we know who to take treats to this week :)

It is Not too Late!

Please still join the challenge even if you missed the friday start date. Start anyway!! We would love to have you all join!

Weight Loss Table

Here is a table I put together so I could keep track of my measurements. You can print it if you want it. Please feel free to share any helpful hints, suggestions, or ideas on healthy weightloss that you have.

It Is Time To Begin!!

Hey everyone,
Today is Friday the 13th, dooms day. It is our first weigh in. Please make sure you record your weight today and also take the following measurements. Chest, Waist, Hips, Thigh, Upper Right Arm. I hope all of you got all your good food in yesterday!! Please leave a comment saying that you are participating and you have all your initial measurements done. You do not need to post measurements. We are all on the honor system and keeping track of them ourselves. Remember if you gain more than 1 lb next Friday then you pay an additional $1. Which I am sure any one of us would be happy to take off your hands :) Good Luck to all of you!!

Invite your Friends!! Since I don't have many :)

P.S. I hope you all invite a friend to participate. Whoever would like to join in the fun is more than welcome!! Please just leave a comment so I know who is planning on participating.

We are hoping this will be a fun way to challenge ourselves and try and lose a few pounds along the way. Everyone will be expected to be totally honest (including Erin) and do your own weigh-ins and measurements. Weigh-ins and Measurements need to be done once a week and preferably on Fridays. Measurements will consist of chest, waist (over your belly button), hips, right thigh (where fingertips end if you put your arms down at your side), and right arm. Please feel free to ask any questions that I have not answered and good luck to all!!
