A brand new challenge!

[ 40 ] 02/25/2009 |

Hello girls and boy! Are you ready for a new challenge here at the Sisterhood?

Can I hear a ‘hell YEAH’ or ‘heck YEAH’ or whatever your comfortable shouting at the top of your lungs!!?

I know we’re ready, and this one’s going to be fast and furious!

The new challenge is called: Kiss Me, I’m Shrinking and will start today and end on March 18th, the day after St. Patty’s Day! Yes, it’s only 3 weeks! Hopefully the fast pace of this challenge will keep you motivated and on top of your program. There’s no time to slack, girls (and boy), so lace up your tennis shoes, and let’s get shrinking!

Grab a new challenge button here (aren’t they fantastic!), slap it on your blog, or Facebook page, or MySpace site, or just print it out and slap it on your fridge. Then, jump on your scale, blog all about it, and leave a comment letting us know your starting weight.

Later today, we’ll announce our biggest shrinker for the Looking Fine for Valentine’s Day challenge. Be sure to check out the fabulous interview and oh-so-special button she’s been graced with.

If you’re not an official Sister yet, please contact us so we can add you to the blogroll! Grab a button and plop it on your blog (and if you don’t have one, they’re free here) and get busy shrinking!

If you’ve hit the 20# or 25# mark (woohoooo!) we’ve added some buttons for you to grab here.

Check in often because we’re listening to you and working to make some great changes and new additions to the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans.

If you’re not following us on Twitter, you should be: @shrinkingjeans

    As I suspected, there was no loss. As frustrated as I am, I so excited to begin this new challenge. I realize there are changes I need to make and I'm going to work hard so I can see that number drop, drop, drop.

    Thanks to everyone who's joined the challenge! Support is an amazing thing! It picks you up when you are down and makes those victories so much sweeter!!

    Here's my post:

    I'm in. Unfortunately I'm up 2lbs from last week. *sigh* I was hoping to be down to make my week complete after doing so well at the dance competition, but it was a bad eating weekend. I've got a performance in June so I have to keep slogging away.

    I can't seem to post on my blog at the moment so I'll have to put a post up later if it clears up.

  • Kelli

    HELL YEAH. My weight today is 159.8 ( I started Jan 2nd at 170.00) woo hoo. Finally out of the 160's. http://www.all-k-names.blogspot.com (although I only post weights on monthly weigh ins and my next monthly weigh in is next wednesday.

  • Christy_TheSisterhood

    I hear you on the gain, Sister. A big old *sigh* from me too :(

    I'm so glad to hear you did well at the dance competition!! Congrats!

    We'll erase that gain, girl. No worries.

  • Christy_TheSisterhood

    WAY TO GO! HELL YEAH! Isn't it nice to leave the 170s behind great! I can't wait to see how you do next week on your weigh-in!

    I'm also excited to report that I finally lost the last 2 pounds that I was hoping to lose during the last challenge….saying “good bye” to the 160s…at least until the next baby comes along. My goal for the “Kiss Me” challenge is to lose the last 4 pounds of baby fat. Starting weight: 159

    I am IN! 182 today. I am hoping to be down 6 in the next 3 weeks. 10 would ROCK my socks, but I think 6 is more reasonable.

  • http://www.thewebjones.com/blog Erika Jones

    Oooh oooh i'm in!!!! I'm out at training right now and didn't get to my WW weigh-in before i left :-(. Hopefully this week of training and excellent food will not check me in next week with added pounds. My last weigh-in was at 257 http://www.thewebjones.com/blog/post/Shrinking-….

    So we'll see come next Wed how I made out. Crossing my fingers. I have to when menus like this http://www.thewebjones.com/blog/post/Big-Nerd-R… are being served daily!!!

    Yay – onto my next pair of skinny jeans

    I am definitely in again, however I don' t even know where to set my goals. My weight loss has been so slow and frustrating. I have 10 lbs left and think it could take forever. I am not sure my; exact starting weight because unfortunately I missed my weigh in this week. I will just say 168.8 because that's where I was last week.
