THE CHALLENGE: RAISING THE STAKES!!!

[elaine1961]

We said at the beginning of this challenge that we would be raising the amount to be lost, as we go along; now's the time --- here we go!!!  We've all gotta work harder now!!

Beginning today, July 18, 2010, we are challenging you to lose 0.6 lbs/week. There is no need to sign up again or update anything.  We have the list of members who initially signed up for the challenge; and if anyone else cares to join in, feel free.  

In order to make it more of a true "challenge", our goal is to raise the stakes by 0.2 lbs, every 4 weeks.  Barb135 and myself will keep track of the dates and will let you know when the stakes go up again.  You don't have to do anything except LOSE.....weight, that is and of course, by losing, you become a winner!!!  

We will continue to track and post our weight on a weekly basis, as we've been doing, but those posts will be a bit different as well.  Stay tuned for the "new look" beginning next week!!!

Hi! I would love to join as well!

Is the goal to lose 0.8lbs a week? Am I understanding that correctly?

[Barb135]

Okay, everyone, we're serious about this.  The stakes will continue to get higher......

There was a bit of confusion in regards to the original sign up, so I've compiled a list of those that have been participating.  If you signed up and your name isn't on the following list, please highlight the list, then copy and paste it into a new post on this thread, then add your name.  

Everyone is invited to "play in the sandbox" with us, so if you didn't sign up the first time around, please feel free to do so now.  Just follow the instructions in the previous paragraph and we will be "good to go".
