Hello there & welcome (or welcome back!)
This is the blog that we've been talking about; we ask that you check this several times a week for updates, challenges and other fun tips. If at any point you hear something in the media, come across an interesting article to share, so on and so forth, please feel free to share with me and I will update the blog for you.
A few key points:
*Leave comments on the blog; it's a great way to communicate and interact with others...as well as get to know them.
*Be sure to weigh in to me via facebook or e-mail (smilyn22@aol.com) no later than 5pm EST on Saturdays. The earlier you post your weight; the better. I will then try to get the results posted that evening.
*On your scale, if you have a decimal, please weigh in with that as well...for example if your 123.4, let me know the .4 part. (Don't we wish we weighed that!)
*Really try to complete the challenges/quizes. They are there not to be a pain; but it's an educational tool to better understand the weight loss process.
*If you would like to receive an e-mail when someone leaves a comment on here; please send me your e-mail address. The spots are limited- so let me know ASAP.
Finally, losing weight is hard. It's a long journey, and unfortunately something that doesn't happen over night. I encourage slow and steady to ensure it stays off. The first round, we lost a collective total of 186lbs, the last round, 117lbs. Now that's a lot of weight! This round we have a total of 14 people participating, bringing "the pot" to $240!
Again, welcome. Leave a comment and don't be afraid to ask questions.
THIS weeks CHALLENGE...starting Monday since I'm just now getting this out...but it's to write down EVERYTHING and I MEAN EVERYTHING you eat. If you complete this challenge, please let me know so I can be sure to give you some props at the end of the week.

Hello Everyone,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see so many wonderful people joining up for round 3. This past Saturday after the 5K race several of you were wanting to do another race and I share about the one May 22nd. This race will be held in downtown Akron, its for the National Kidney Foundation. You can raise money by asking all of your friends to make a contribution. If you are not the type to ask for donations you can make a &25.00 dontation or you could both, raise money and dontate. Either way you will be able to make a difference in someone else's life. Let me know if you are interested, there is still time to join up. The race will be held in Canal Park, you can walk or run or both, its up to you.
Please let me know before the end of this week. Hope to see you there and good luck this week. Remember, drink your water and be kind to yourself, its the only body you have to live in.
Mom...do you happen to have a link to this 5K so we can sign up? I am interested for sure, in fact in my head I have already committed myself to doing it.
