Week One Results! U GO GIRLS!!!!

Wow, what a great week! This is sooo exciting!!!

There is no question that this is an important life change for all of us and based on the responses I have been getting I think we are all going to get to our goal. As a group we have been hitting the gym, watching our food intake, participating in sports (and video games… hello wii fit!) and overall living a healthier lifestyle. The road will be long and we are here to support each other. Eleven weeks from now, when the winner in announced, it will only be the beginning. To date we are playing for $575 and I believe there are more checks in the mail. Watch out Nordstrom’s here we come. So, onto this weeks numbers. I am writing this at 8pm on Tuesday and I know some people will send them tomorrow so check back to the blog and I will update when more come in.

Updated with a new weekly winner and two more player numbers.

This weeks winner is Shana from Virginia with a 3.85% loss – Fabulous!!!!

Hi Girls

I am honored that you all have agreed to undertake this journey with me. It is a new year and I am ready for a new, smaller, me! I do not have the final tally yet, but I think there is going to be 20 or 30 of us competing. So lets get started!!!!

I have sent everyone the spreadsheet that we will be using. On January 6th everyone will pick a scale and weigh themselves. That number will go in the red box at the top (never to be typed again). Then each of the following 12 Tuesdays you will return to the same scale, at the same time of day, and weigh yourself. That number will go in the pink box. You will notice that a couple additional numbers are calculated.

We are all starting a differing sizes and weights so the percentage loss is the most appropriate way to gauge success. Also, I know I have enough trouble just looking at a scale and saying the number out loud let alone tell anyone else! So, we will only be sharing the percent lost.

Starting Tuesday, January 13th, we will each report the weekly % loss that shows up in the yellow box on the spreadsheet. You can either post directly on this blog or send to me and I will post for you. Then on the 12th week we will all report our total % loss (black box on spreadsheet).
