The end is near!

So ladies we are getting down to the wire here! Who is it gonna be?

So I wanted to remind you all that this Sat, is the weigh in this month. So I will need to receive your percentage of weight loss by Midnight on Sat. July 31. Just so we are all on the same page the way you calculate that is as follows: If you were 150 and lost 5 pounds it would look like this. 5/150=0.03333333333333333333 then x 100 = 3.33333% So I think we should have the decimal go out 5 places then you may round accordingly. I will post the winner on Aug 1st.

Now, after hearing few other people's ideas, I thought that we could change this competition for the next months. We thought it should be 3 months starting August 1st. Then the money you put in the pot would be 20 instead of 10. I would also like to run a 5K for those of you who are local. I think there is one at thanksgiving but maybe there is one sooner than that we can do together. Also to help keep the blog going I would like to have everyone post their weight loss each week. I will make the blog private so that only those of us competing will have access to it.

So if you would like to start next month, please send your 20 to me. Your starting weight will be whatever your ending weight was on July 31st. Then the final weigh for this round will be Oct 31st. Don'y forget any friends that may want to join.

I hope this has helped you all get the drive that you needed to work on your weight goals. I know it has for me and I am looking forward to the next round!

If you have any questions please contact me.

Thanks and good luck everyone
