Look at her now!

Since nobody sent in their "after" pictures this week, we decided there was really only 1 picture anyone was really interested in: here is Shayla before, and LOOK AT HER NOW!
Doesn't she look great? Good job Shayla!

Week 8: The final Results

Everyone's final numbers are now posted. Congratulations to Shayla Clifton for a great win! We'll get you your money soon...it's a lot! {If you want to donate a chunk to the webmaster, let me know. :) Just kidding.} Shayla's "after" picture is coming soon...

For anyone who lost over 10%, we'll get you your $15 also. If you don't think we have your mailing address, will you please email it to me?

It's been a fun 8 weeks getting to know each of you...if any of you are interested in continuing on, I'll be tracking my numbers for the next 6-8 weeks on here and I'd be happy to do yours, too. No money involved this time, just one more thing to be accountable to! Let me know. No pressure, but if it'd be helpful, the offer's out there.

Week 6 results are now posted. Congratulations to KRYSTAL CAUSEY for the win this week with 5.4% lost! Way to recover from vacation, Krystal! :) You get to choose to either weigh in a day earlier, a day later, or give someone an extra pound to deal with next week! Let me know what you choose...

Also, only 2 weeks left! Keep going...it's not over yet!

Week 4 Results:

Results for week 4 are now posted. The winner for this week's weigh-in is CARMIN SPONSELLER with a 1.9% loss! Way to go, Carmin! For your prize this week, you get to choose between the following options:
1 - Give someone a 1 lb disadvantage for next week's weigh in,
2 - Weigh in a day earlier next week, or
3 - Weigh in a day later next week
Just let me know what your choice is!

Two of our contestants are in Hawaii for the week...I hope they're eating LOTS of macadamia nuts & drinking LOTS of coconut milk! :) Just kidding.

Week 3 results...

Week 3 results are now posted to the right. Again, this is the OVERALL % lost thus far.

And this week's winner of the $15 prize is....

SHAYLA CLIFTON with a 4.6% loss for the week! Great job, Shayla!

Week 2 Results...

Week 2 results are now posted on the side. This is your TOTAL % of weight loss. The week's winner is .....AMY! Good job Amy (you beat me by .2%!) The prize for this week is your choice of: weigh in 1 day earlier next week, 1 day later next week, or give a 1 lb disadvantage to ANYONE next week! (The 1 lb disadvantage is only good for the weekly weigh-in, & does not affect the overall.) Any of those 3 options can be fairly advantageous, depending on your strategy...and schedule. Let me know what you choose, & I'll post your decision. (Last time I won this prize, which then led me to win the following week's $ prize!)

One of our contestants sent this in...pretty funny 1st week report if you ask me! :)

Week 1 Winner

And the week 1 winner is.....Susanne with 6.3% lost! GREAT week Susanne!

Also, please note the link to the right for the Pound for Pound challenge. It only takes a minute to sign up & pledge the # of lbs. you hope to loose, and when you're done losing, you just sign back in and let them know how much you've lost. That many lbs. of food will be donated to the foodbank of your choice! A great cause, that costs you no more than a few minutes and a lot of sweat! :)

Week 1 Results...

Welcome to week 1! Only 7 more to go... :} I'll be posting the current % weight lost at the RIGHT of this blog, so check over there each week. As for the "prizes" mentioned earlier, I'll do a current blog post letting you know who has won. Here's how they work:

On January 11 & 25, & February 8 & 22 (so every OTHER week) there will be a $15 cash prize awarded to the winner of those week's weigh-ins. To qualify for the prize weigh-ins, you MUST have submitted a number the previous week. (This is the reason to weigh in on the "off" weeks. Does this make sense?) This hopefully keeps us all going along the way, not dropping out if we're not in line to "win the pot." If you lose your 10% AND win a prize weigh-in, you've earned your money back! I can already tell the competition is going to be good, so keep it going!

Alright! Here are the "Befores" that I've received:

Carmin (Alaska)
Macsen (Utah & Idaho...depends on the semester)
Alecia (Arizona)

Jon (Utah) Liz (Utah)

Susanne (Arizona)Ann-Marie (Idaho)Bryan (Idaho) Cathy T (Idaho) Jenny (Idaho) Gary (Arizona)

Vickie (Arizona)

Melanie (Arizona)

Susan (Utah) Lori (Georgia)Amy (Utah)Trevor (Utah) Capri (Utah & Idaho...depends on the semester)

Joyce (Utah) Shayla (Utah)

Tanya (Idaho)

Maybe THIS will be more simple! :) Good luck everyone!
