Final Countdown

Hi Ladies!

I'm so sorry I've been MIA for so much of this month!  You all are doing a great job pressing on without the blog updates- good work!!!

This coming Friday will be our very last weigh-in!!!!  It feels like the time has gone by so quickly.  Great work sticking with it to the end! Since we're seven days away from the final weigh-in, I'm going to post a different percentage this week.  Since the beginning, I have been posting weekly weight-change percentages, but tonight I'm posting grand total weight-loss percentages as we are in the final stretch.  So these numbers will look much different from what you've seen since the beginning because these are the percentages for the OVERALL competition versus the week-to-week percentages I've posted in the past. This will give you an idea of where you fall in the line-up for the win, and will hopefully give you a burst of motivation to really git 'er done this week!

Don't forget to send in your weigh-in next week Friday, and I will announce the winners as soon as everyone is in!  Then I will calculate all penalties and send you an email with how much you owe to the winner's pot. =) There were several weeks that I did not have time to update the blog (eek!), so I haven't penalized anyone for late weigh-ins. That was totally my bad, but I just didn't have the time I thought I would have to pull together percentages to post each week.  There's still some $$$ to be had in pounds gained, so be looking for that email after our last weigh-in so we can be sure to pay-up to the pot! Thanks, ladies. =)

Without further ado, where we stand as of right now, with only one week left:

Ann is currently in first place overall with 13.33% overall percentage of weight-lost. Its going to be tough to catch up to you, Ann!  Good work! Kayla is in second place at 6.52% weight-lost, and Leanne is in third with 5.19% weight-loss.  WAY TO GO!!!

Some of these numbers are VERY close, so there's still time to shake up the first, second, and third place standings before the final winners are announced next weekend.  GO FOR GOLD, ladies!!!!
