edited October 3 in Motivation and Support
My name is Jackie (jlbiles) I am the owner and database keeper for the 10 pound challenge. I am writting this to let you know how this challenge works. On the dates below we weigh in. Any other day you can post and communicate to the group anything else you want. If you need encouragement, help ect.

I need you to post your weight by Wensday of each week. If you mess a week I will delete your name from the database enless you tell me what is going on a head of time. You can reach me at this address or jlbiles@ymail.com. If you can't open the database I post once a week let me know and I can email you a copy if you give me your email address. Any other questions just ask. I would also consider doing txt messaging to those who like to do that.

Remember 1-2 pounds a week is healthy weight loss. almost no one ever looses the 10 pounds a month so don't let that discourage you.

SW - xxx lbs (Sunday Oct 1)
Week 1 - xxx lbs (Sunday Oct 8 )
Week 2 - xxx lbs (Sunday Oct 15)
Week 3 - xxx lbs (Sunday Oct 22)
Week 4 - xxx lbs (Sunday Oct 29)
Total lost - xx lbs (Tuesday Nov 1)

if u post you want in we don't turn anyone down until after the first weeks weigh in is complete and that is Oct 12 or so.

    I think I'm going to have to give it a miss this month, as I go into hospital on Monday morning for hip replacement surgery - it's going to be a tricky time. If I can keep to my approx. calorie target in hospital and when I get home again, I'll be happy but surprised! We'll see. But I won't be very mobile for a while so it; will all be a challenge in itself, just getting through it. Good luck to everyone who takes the challenge this next month.
