CONTEST May 14 - July 16

Here are the rules:

Weigh In - you must take a picture of yourself on your scale on May 14th- so we can see what you are wearing because this is what you need to wear on the final weigh in - and then a close up picture of your feet on your scale with your exact weight. These pictures and your exact weight need to be emailed to Diana - Fisch4di@yahoo.com or Gwen - Gwen@JGEI.com

Entry Fee -The entry fee is $55, $50 towards the pot and $5 for me to run the contest. It is a lot of work to manage the beginning and end weigh in along with the weekly postings! I will accept cash or cashier’s checks.

Rules - 1) Any method of weight loss is acceptable EXCLUDING surgery

2) You must post your weight weekly to me on Mondays before 10 pm to Diana - Fisch4di@yahoo.com or Gwen at gwen@JGEI.com and then the weekly results will be posted on the blog by Tuesday 10 pm. (www.weightlosslosers.blogspot.com) we won’t be posting weights, we will be posting percentages lost.

3) If you miss 2 postings throughout the contest, you will be eliminated because we don't want to create a situation where someone doesn't post for a few weeks, we assume they have given up, and then they throw a huge loss up on the next posting.

4) You CAN NOT miss the last 2 postings – July 2nd & July 9th or you will be eliminated. It is not fair to those who are in the running not to know where their competition stands.

 5) Final weigh in/pictures sent is Monday July 16th and the photos must be received no later than 10 am and results will be posted by 11am

6) There are no refunds for any reason

WINNER is based on total percent lost. The person with the highest percent lost wins 75% of pot and 2nd place gets 25% of the pot.

PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP THAT YOU WILL BE JOINING. YOUR ENTRY FEE MUST BE IN MY HAND BY 10PM MONDAY May 14th TO JOIN.

I was excited to see most of your weight's this week! I am recommitted as well but unfortunately, I gained weight so even though I am down 5 lbs since the Monday after New Years, I still have 3 to go before I hit my start weight! HAAH! It is quite interesting how when you eat healthy that you lose weight. What a strange concept!!!!

BTW - how come no one comments on these posts???

Week 8

I hope you all have RECOMMITTED and we will see some nice numbers next week. Why does it come down to healthy eating and exercise???? I walked into my neighbor's house today and she had this WHOLE plate of homemade oreos/moon pies and then a box of donuts. I had to walk out. They looked soooo good!
