We're Still In This!

Hi Ladies!

No, you have not been missing post updates!  I have just reeeeally dropped the ball on getting our percentages up here each week.  I'm so sorry! Between juggling a new preschool schedule and a three-month old, I just flat out have not had a chance to get the percentages up.

I'm sorry for the delay!  And the bad news is I'm out of town again this weekend so the update will be late again this week- my apologies in advance, and thank you for your patience!

The good news is we are still in it to win it! (And also in the good news for you department: I threw a donut breakfast party this morning and ate more than my fair share so there's a good chance your weigh-in will look better than mine this weekend! HA!)

Let's play catch-up a little bit and announce the first place winners for the past three weeks:

Ann came in first the weekend after Memorial Day with a whopping 1.27% loss!  Melissa was right behind her with a 1.25% loss.  Tight race that week!!! WAY TO GO, ladies!!!

The week after Erika won first place with a 1.49% weight loss for the week.  Great work, Erika!  Ann and Sarah were not far behind!

And here are the results for last weekend:

Yours truly came in first with a 1.18% loss. Ann and Kim were hot on my heels!  

Brittany   1.18%
Kim        0.54%
Kayla      0.00% 
Ann        0.65%
Sarah V.  0.00%
Katie C.  +0.51%
Erika       0.00%
Kristeen   0.00%
Meike      0.40%
Leanne   +0.78%
Carol      +0.58%
Melissa   0.00%
Sue         0.00%
Stephanie 0.00%

Ladies, we are just over the half way point with only five weeks left.  We can do this!  Several of us have had weeks recently where we haven't lost enough to count towards a percentage of loss...hang in there!  If you're getting close to your goal weight, remember that those pounds close to your goal are the most difficult to lose.  If you're like me and you are light years away from your goal weight, but you've just had a rough couple of weeks taking in pumpkin spice lattes by the gallon and apple cinnamon donuts by the dozen, then just remember that each week is a new week, each day a new day.  Keep workin' it! =)

Stay tough, ladies.  Looking at the month's overall percentages, it is definitely still anybody's game!  Five weeks is a lot of time to make a good dent in your weight-loss goal and to kick some cookie pants boo-tay.   

Keep at it and I'll be back as soon as I can be with this weekend's line up of percentages.
