Weigh in #8

Aren't you surprised that I actually have this done early this week? I know I can't believe it myself!

Here we go:

TyLeen 161.3 now 162
TaNelle 140.2 now 140.2
D'Ann 155 now 153
Kris 228.5 now 226
Tami 182.5 now 176.5
Julie 125.6 now 124.5

Way to go ladies!

Just a reminder that the next weigh in will be on Halloween, Oct 31st. Email me you rstarting weight and current weight and I will figure out your percentage of weight loss and will announce the winner Nov 1st.

If you would like to try another competition let me know. I personally am not sure that I will go again just because I am almost at my weight goal. I don't mind running this blog still or being in charge of another round. We can do it without money if you want. Please email or leave a comment of your thoughts and ideas.

Good luck on your last week!!!

Slacking Big Time

So I don't know about the rest of you, but this summer has really got me slacking on things. So finally I am posting more information about our competition this time around. I want to gather your starting weights this month. Many people have told me they want to be held more accountable, so this is a little bit better way to achieve that. Then every Friday after you email me your current weight I will post how you did for the week.

So everyone who is doing another round with me please send me your starting weight and then email me again your current weight on Friday.

Also I am going to make the cut off date to receive the money this Friday. If I don't see it, then whatever your current weight at the time I receive the $20 will be your starting weight. This will give those who paid early a little bit more of an advantage.

You will know I have your money when you name is posted.

Good Luck everyone!

Today is the Day

So ladies it is on. I am super excited that you all joined. So far we are at $100 and I think there are a few ones in the mail.

So I have had a few questions, so I thought I would clarify it now. The whole point of this competition is to help each to lose weight, the healthy way. So please don't strave yourself or do any of those cleanse things. We want everyone to have a fair chance.

I am not doing a weigh in and I am not asking your weights, so please write down you weight today so you don't forget. I will be posting my weight and a "before" picture of myself so you will know that I didn't cheat, if I were to win. If you would like to do the same, you are more than welcome. You don't have to add your name or face if you would like to post a picture.

I am doing my best to make this a fun and healthy competition. I am glad all of you want to join me, and good luck to all.

Welcome One and All

Do you have a little extra weight that you want to get rid of? Welcome to Muffin Tops Be Gone! Weather you have 5 pounds or 100 pounds you would like to get rid of, I would like to invite you to join a friendly competition.

My name is Julie and I have two beautiful girls. With that said, I have a nice muffin top I am trying to get rid of. I have my good weeks and then my "naughty" weeks. I decided the whole "put a photo of yourself on the mirror or fridge" just doesn't help keep me motivated. I am totally one of those people that likes to be held accountable, then I will for sure do the job. So I decided that I would start a little competition with some friends.

One other motivation for me is of course money. I mean who isn't motivated by money? Wouldn't it be great to lose weight and have money to buy new clothes as a reward? Well if you would like to join me, here are the rules to the game:

1. First of all is honesty. I don't want people not to join, because they have to show everyone their weight. If you want to share your weight, you are more than welcome. For me, it will make me a little embarrassed and make me work harder. So with that said this is an on your honor competition.
2. I will collect $10 from every competitor. The more who join, the bigger the pot. Just think if we had 10 people join, that would be $100 bucks to buy a new outfit or get a massage. In order to have a chance at winning, I need to receive the money by June 30Th. NO EXCEPTIONS Once your money is received I will add your name to the list.
3. We will start July 1st and will end July 31st at midnight. The winner will be announced on August 1st.
4. The winner is not by pounds lost, but by percentage of weight loss to make it a little more fair.
5. Sorry men but this is a women's only competition

I would love to use this blog to post healthy recipes, tips on exercise and anything to help encourage and motivate each other. If you have anything you would like to contribute you may email me and I will gladly post for all to see. If you don't want to send money, you are still more than welcome to join the fun. (of course no pot of money if you win)

I also think it would be fun to do some before and after pictures, so if you are comfortable email your pictures too.

Please help yourselves and your friends in their weight loss goals. No matter where you live you are more than welcome to join just as long as you follow the rules of the game.

If you are interested in joining, please leave me a comment with your name and email, and I will contact you.

Good luck everyone!
