The rules:
-Grab a ticker like mine and stick it on your blog. You don't have to proudly display your weight (I am most definitely not!). Instead, your weightloss goal.
-Every Friday will be "Fat Ticker Friday" where we weigh in and update our tickers with our weightloss. Again, you don't have to announce to the world your current weight, just how much you lost for that week. The first one will be next Friday, April 11th.
-Link back to here on Fridays and leave a comment, and here's the good part! There will be raffle prizes drawn at random!
-You can track your progress in your posts, post low-cal recipes you ran across, tips, or vent about how sucky your lack of motivation is, whatever. Let's be each other's rock!
-Final weigh-in is Friday, June 6th. (My race is Saturday June 7th). That's two months! Let's do this! (Cue up the motivational music!) Grand prize for the most weight lost!
Here is the code for the button up top! You can copy and paste and share the love in a post so others can join us. Good Luck! (I know I need it)

And here's the code for a smaller version of button, made special by Sonny (thanks babe!)
Would love to join you, but I already promised myself that I'd give myself 6 weeks after Joshua's birth to not worry about getting healthier and just let my body fully recover - but the idea sounds great and good luck! Maybe I'll join you in a month's time!
ReplyDeleteOk, I've got the code and I'm going to go post it. Too bad I just ate a handful of malted milk eggs. DAM_ Those Easter Baskets!!
ReplyDeleteUm, gulp, um...I think I need to join you. :)

Ok I am jumping in both feet first. My post is up at http://scienceesl.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteOh dear, me thinks this is a great idea. If only I had the gumption to go through with it. I said I was going to run a 5K in Sept, and I'm not even walking daily to train yet. YIKES!
ReplyDeleteI found you via 5 Minutes for Mom, their Sunday feature highlighted this awesome challenge and well, I'm in!
ReplyDeleteI've posted here: http://mybigfatirishblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-day-new-challenge.html
See ya on Friday!
Found this via SJ. I put your button on my blog but I won't be weighing in on Fridays as I already weigh in and post on Tuesdays. Just wanted to spread the word for your awesome contest though! Love it!
