    I know some of you are having problems and I WILL get them fixed around 11:30 central time, I have to do some work stuff before then. Sorry for the delay, but we'll get everyone all set up and ready to go.

    To answer a few general questions:

    your start weight is yesterday's weight, the goal weight is what you'd like to be on Sept 30th.

    In the "record your progress here" tab, just put check marks if you met your calorie, exercise/rest, and challenge goals and enter a numerical value for your weight.


    Also, if you aren't using a scale for whatever reason, you can simply use the inches and goals tracking to participate in this challenge. However, if you do not weigh in you will not be able to get any of the awards for weight loss, but you still can get the ones for most inches lost or having the greatest number of goals met.

    if you have more questions, just let me know.

    Sorry i'm so out of it...and my MFP inbox isn't working so use my cassandrakstacey@gmail.com email if you have other questions. Again, I"ll respond to those of you who emailed me around lunch time.

    Happy Tuesday!

    ~Cass

    Regarding inches measurement: I was CERTAIN that at one point it said to include bust, too. Should we measure hips/waist/right thigh/right bicep, or hips/waist/right thigh/right bicep/bust?

    I ask because if I lose inches, it'll probably make a big difference if bust is included or not. I seem to lose most of my inches off of my upper torso! Just want to be sure I'm consistent with what everyone else is doing :)

    1. the number one that that motivates me is walking into my new huge walk in closet that is full of very nice clothes and knowing that I can't wear 90% of them right now. I am ready to get back into all of them!! also, my first full marathon is coming up quickly on Nov. 13th, and I want to be able to finish it strong!!!!

    2. I have NO plans for the Labor Day holiday--which is exactly how I want it!! it has been a very rough summer for me, and I just want three days of RnR with nothing complicating my workouts!!!!

    3. Something that no one on MFP knows about me is that I used to absolutely hate to run. I actually swore on the last day of high school athletics that I would never run again!! but, so thankful that was not the case because it has brought so much joy into my life.


    thanks again to Cass!! I hope this will finally help me to get focused and get this weight off. best of luck to everyone!!!

    For inches:

    Measure the circumference around
    1. your right thigh (the thickest part)
    2. your hips (right over where your hip bones are)
    3. your waist (the naturally smallest part of your midsection)
    4. your bust (i usually do this with a sports bra on so that its more consistent and easier to measure---measure around the fullest part where your nipple is) *YES INCLUDE THIS...somehow it got overlooked, my apologies since this is where women generally see the largest change* Alternatively, if you want to measure your "chest" (right under your armpits, above the bust) you can...just measure the same area each week
    5. your right bicep (thickest part with out flexing...let arm relax near your side then measure)

    sum up these values and put in the "starting inches" column. At the end of the week (next Monday) we'll put in the "week 1" column how many inches you lost/gained.

    does that clear things up?

    Hey guys!!! I am Christine and am so looking forward to this challenge - good luck to everyone on here!!!!!! We can do this!!!

    1. What is the #1 thing/saying/thought/whatever that motivates YOU?

    Seeing my son grow right before my eyes, makes me want to be a healthier, happier person and get in shape to keep up with him in the future. Also, to build my self-confidence and be one hot momma!

    2. What are your plans for the Labor Day Holiday?

    Cookout and hang out with my awesome husband and son, his family, and our friends. Also watch plenty of football and tailgate with healthy food!

    3. What is something that nobody on MFP knows about you?

    My husband is leaving for 9 months to go to "school" for the Navy in San Diego, CA - so definitely not looking forward to that - but it is temporary I guess. So......I will not only be a working mom of an almost 8 month old and 2 dogs with a house, yard, etc....but a feel more or less like a single parent - so going through a rough time right now. But what doesnt kill me will definitely make me stronger... just had to get it out there:) Thanks for listening!


    Oh...............I will post my inches tonight - forgot to measure yesterday:)

    3. What is something that nobody on MFP knows about you? That I've put off going back to school because I'm because I'm afraid that I will gain all my weight back!
