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!
