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!

Thanks for the motivation that I need. I would love to join. I could use a little less weight in my life. This is Krissa and not Jeff. My husband signed in but didn't sign out.
