    Our weekly winner posted an amazing 5.25 inch drop in one week! This should help her get ready for her upcoming wedding. Congrats to Sonn2bMrsRamos. Can you please post the weekly challenge?

    2nd place went to chii85 with a drop of 3.5 inches this week!

    3rd place belongs to Kalrez with 2.75 inches gone!

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqfM2VasNXWbdEY1d1dJY2pOak5QRnJXWEJFLXY2QVE&hl=en_US#gid=0 I need to still update a few people. Sorry this is late but I have had company in town and it is keeping me pretty busy.
  • This week's challenge will be to complete some type of exercise you are not used to doing. If it is anything you have sets/reps for i.e. crunches then push yourself to the highest number you can complete. If it, for example a yoga or spin class push yourself to a 60 minute class.

    Hope you like the challenge and good luck everyone!

    We all are doing great!!!

    Great work to everyone this week! I forgot to do my measurements this morning so I will add them tomorrow morning.

    Congrats to our three ladies that have pasted their monthly goal!

    Soon2bMrsRamos is our biggest loser with 7.75 inches gone this week. I know you are sad that the scale isn't moving but it is VERY clear that you are doing something right if you can drop that many inches in one week! Congrats!

    Kiku76 and Jessicabergeron both tied for 2nd place with 4 inches gone this week. Both of them also achieved their goal this week! Way to go ladies!!

    dfeledichuk is third with 1.5 inches this week! Great work!

    ----Next week is our last week of the month. Since this will be your final measurement of the month you can measure on any day that you would like. I will be posting a new September board sometime next week. I hope that you guys decide to carry on with us.
