I am confused. I thought we were weighing in on Mondays since July 1 was a Monday. I honestly have no clue what my weight was on Friday. I have a Thursday weight I know and today's weight. I can give you either one of those. Just let me know. Sorry!!!

Um, July 1st was a Friday - 4th was a Monday. Happy to use today's weight and have you start there :-)

I think I neeeeeeed sleeeeep!!! Yesterday's weight was 137.2. Again Im very sorry. I will do much better in the future!!

Okay, it's now Tuesday so I'm going to announce the winner from Last week now so that they can set mini-challenges for us to follow for the rest of the week.

In future, I will just make the announcement based on the weigh ins I have received by Monday morning UK time.

The Biggest Loser from last week was mroger801 with a WHOPPING 7lb weight loss!!!! Congratulations!!

I'm so honored to have won this week! The mini-challenge will be to try one new type of exercise that you have not done before. (I haven't done one of these before, is this a good challenge?)

Good luck everyone.

This week's new exercise I haven't done: climb stairs! Shooting for 1800 stairs by Sunday. Did 150 before breakfast. Whoo!

sarahlynnew

Hope I'm not to late. I really would like to join. My weight July first 1st was 244, last week it was 241. Everyone seems to be doing so good so far. Hope I can fall into the grove too!

turbofiregirl

same here. I am going to climb stairs for the entire week at work, home etc (additional to the excercise I do every day). I did 5 floors this morning, 28 steps per floor which 140 steps this morning.

divalovely

May I PLEASE join! I previously joined another challenge that fell apart--but I'm on a mission to LOSE this Weight!! My goal is to lose 40lbs by Dec. 31st!!!!

July 1-223
July8-221

Hi Saraylynnew and divalovely... I've added you both, welcome to the challenge :-)

Just to let you know what's happening:

This challenge was started by someone but it appears that something has come up so they haven't been on since before 1st July. I was really keen on the time line of this challenge so kinda took over cos I really wanted it to keep going.

This isn't an elimination challenge so if you gain that is okay... preferably if you're still shrinking ;-)

Weigh ins are on Fridays.

The person who loses the most weight in the previous week gets to set the mini-challenge for the new week.

Trying to make this a supportive, fun challenge.

Now, I hope everyone has a great Thursday!

Hmmm, while I was doing that summary, I suddenly thought... do we want to do the winner by lbs lost or % lost? It doesn't matter for last week as mroger801 was the biggest loser either way! (7lbs, 2.18%)

So, what do you think? I already have % lost included on my spreadsheet so either way is fine with me.

mroger801

My vote is for % of body weight lost.

pantoinette

Can I join in? I SERIOUSLY need the challenges!
thank youuuuuuu

diverchic73

welcome pantoinette!

Please let me know what your start weight was (1st July) and what your weight was on 8th July so that I may include you in the challenge.

beckyard

either one is fine with me. body % or lbs

callmefor911

either way.. doesnt matter to me..

emmaleigh47

I like % as well.

ilovecreg120809

i like %

sarahlynnew

I think % also

emmaleigh47

Ok I always post for this challenge whatever my weight is on Friday (even if my during the week weight is lower) and although it kills me because I had a great WI ealier this week ... my WI today is 239.4

ilovecreg120809

220.5

diverchic73

urgh... scales going the wrong way even if my clothes are getting looser... my WI is 176 :grumble:

OOh...now this sounds like my kind of challenge; something that is going over time. I'm doing a 1 month challenge too, but I really would like to see long term difference. Diver, I already sent you a message with my info, so please sign me up!

diverchic73

So, since the challenge has now been going for two weeks, those who have not provided a start weight will be removed from my spreadsheet this weekend (with the exception of Pantionette as they only joined yesterday).

I also propose closing the challenge to new members and that if someone misses weighing-in two weeks in a row they be removed (unless they've let us know that they're going to be away) - does that sound fair to everyone?

diverchic73

LOL - K2quiere - You snuck in under the wire and have been added :-)
