END OF SUMMER CHALLENGE

[Sharni]

LET"S GET ON TARGET

Okay Troups.

Reagrdless of whether PokeyM can or cannot join us we ARE going to do this Challenge for or with her. If PokeyM needs motivation then we will be it. If we need motivation then we all will rally around and help each other.

Tomorrow is Monday morning and it would be really nice to start off on the right foot. It would also be nice, since this is a smaller group to get to know each other so if you would like to post a bit about yourself please feel free next time you pass this way.

So far here are the Brave Souls who intend to battle the bulge for The End of Summer Challange

[Mystique]

Hi Guys!
I am down 1 pound this week to 177 :icondance :icondance :icondance
Oh happy DAY!

[Sharni]

THE HEAT IS ON.....

And it's Mystique, in lane 2, who has charged out of the starting blocks. Will she leave the other contestants in the dust?? :icondance No way, we are right behind you Mystique. Glad to see that she's left the loose pound on the starting line. GOOD JOB !!! :yes

And on a "lighter" note saw this comic strip in the papers yesterday:

Foxtrot by Bill Amend
A : May I take you order?
B : Yes, I'd like a burger, fries and a large root beer.
A : Did you want a bun with your burger?
B : Um, yes...
A : And did you want potato in your French fries?
B : How else?
A : Did you say root beer? We don't have diet root beer.
B : I meant regular root beer.
A : (shouting to cook) Syd, I have a high carb special order coming through.
A : It might be a few minutes - He needs to find a bun.
B : This Atkins craze can't end soon enough.
C : Can I exchange this salad? It has a crouton.

Don't know about you guys, but I feel rather famous.

sharni you are such a doll... I love ya and thanks for taking this over. I am trying to figure things out and will be in soon.. I think that Atkins is the best approach for me and will have a final decision after this week. Gonna take a week off and switch to lower fats and see what happens. Guaranteed that I will be back on induction on Monday morning LOL

:wave Hi everybody... I didn't get a chance to check in yesterday. No change at all this week... still 203.

[Mpatient1]

I know my check-in day is Sunday, but I'm doing a road-trip from Florida to Missouri that's gonna get in the way of that, so I'll give a weight today & if I'm near a scale & a computer sunday I'll update again heh...

205 today )

[miaike90]

Hi everyone,

I really need to get with a challenge and REMEMBER to post how I'm doing instead of just spacing it off.

I'll give it a try if you don't mind me joining in at this time.

SW: 185 goal 175 weigh in day to be Sunday

(Sticky note taped to monitor to remind me to check in!)

Supreme Diva - none down BUT none on. So I say just keep warming up for your charge out of the starting blocks.

Mpatient1 - hope you have fun on the road trip. Should be a pleasant time of year for travelling. Two nasty pounds left at the starting block. Great Job!!!

Welcome miaike90. Glad to have you join us. We are fully charged and ready for the challenge. Just check in at any time, not just at weigh-in. We like to have a little chat!!
