Hello!
Welcome to the first week of reporting for this challenge! On Tuesday I will make a chart of the results this week, highlighting the person with the most points (weekly winner - woo!). In subsequent weeks I will highlight not only the weekly winner but also the cullulatuve winner. I will post the charts in this forum. Remember to post on Monday so that I have your data to compete for the coveted weekly winner award.
Remember no one gets dropped, so anyone new should feel free to join in and begin recording for next week's check-in.
Please use the following as a template to report:

I was truly trying.. and think I did well. I have added it up next to the days and if I have done it correctly it is 255.3 points. Feel free to let me know if this is the way it is supposed to be added up.

I offer a caveat though: Our current scale is difficult to read and will be replaced this week. This may cause some fluctuations in my weight numbers next week that have nothing to do with true weight loss or gain.

I was out of town in Texas on a trip. I did more walking then I ever have:) We did something fun everyday:) NSV walking for hours without any trouble:) Last summer at this time I wouldn't have enjoyed myself as much. I surely wouldn't have walked that much! (without the walking I wouldn't have seen much!)
I hope I did this right:) Have a great day!0 -

YAY! WE HAVE A WEEKLY WINNER! Congratulations, Dreamermoth! WOOOOHOOO!
Thanks to those of you who posted points this week - I know you are trying to be uber helpful! But in the future please only POST ONLY DAYS, NOT POINTS. The Luv created a handy dandy excel file to do the math for me, and if you post points I have to divide to enter the information for the formulas to take place. And you don't want me to do any more math than I need to. Seriously. My head might start smoking. :blushing:
For those of you who have not yet posted (I'm looking at you MileHighTexan, inskydiamonds, SandraJN, and LuckBeWithU...oh, and YOU, person who has not signed up for this awesome challenge with AWESOME supportive people), post below and then email me to let me know and I will enter the information for the cumulative total.0 -
Thanks for the chart Elizabeth:) IT looks great!0
-
I can't think of a better motivation tool for me than that chart! It is on!
More importantly: Awesome job, folks! I am really happy to be doing this with each of you. Thanks for being part of my cheer squad.

Very nice Elizabeth...the chart is fantastic. Thanks so much for running this challenge. Just noticed I was given credit for losing 4 pounds this week...I actually gained. My total is inflated (much like my waistline) by 40 points. Thanks again!!0
