Teaming Up!

[ 93 ] 05/28/2009 |

I know you are all anxiously awaiting the start of our NEW challenge, right? Of course you are. I am excited to announce that we are going to do things a little bit differently this time around!

The Sisterhood is going Biggest Loser Team-style! That’s right! Everyone who is looking for a little more support and encouragement -this may be your answer! Depending on how many people choose to go this route, we will be dividing into to teams of three or four people. You can motivate each other, cheer each other on, as well as chew each other’s asses to be the Shrinkiest(?) Team of The Sisterhood! How fun will that be?! Weigh-ins will still be on Wednesdays, only you will have an OVERALL team percentage as well!

If you would rather go solo, don’t worry! That is perfectly okay! No problem!

We are also looking for people and businesses who want to sponsor prizes for our weekly weigh-in prizes! *wink, wink* Please email me at melissa@shrinkingjeans.net help out with this! We had a wonderful turnout for our last challenge! You will become famous! Okay, maybe not, but we will put your link and logo/photo up on our Sponsors page for the ENTIRE challenge!

So, here’s the deal:

1.) COMMENT below with your Name and Email if you would like to be put on a team! NOW! We will be assigning teams this weekend, so don’t put this off. If you don’t want to be on a team, don’t do anything yet.

2.) Email me if you are going to sponsor a prize this time around!

    I will be part of a team. I could certainly use some motivation to get through margarita season and all the 'events' coming up.

  • http://spiffytiffy3.blogspot.com/ Tiffany

    Well, I'm SO not a self-motivator, so a team might help. I pooped out on the last challenge. I have been trying to get pregnant for some time now, so I'm not sure if that would be fair to the other members of my team…. Let me know what you think.

  • http://fromhere2everywhere.com/ Melissa from Pittsburgh

    I'm in!

    I gotta get this bod bathing suit ready. Disney in August!

    My diet is going very well, but I'm having problems with the working out motivation! I want to start the 30 day shred and everyday I make excuses. When I had a trainer and I went to the gym – this was easy for me but now, alone IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!

    I'm very excited about this and it's the perfect time.

    I've been asking everyone I know to do this with me.

    Thank you Thank you Thank you!

    I love you 'shrinking jeans'

    Sign me up and my husband too . . . I'll tell him later I signed him up LOL ;-p Since the weight comes off me SLOWLY, he will increase our team's percentage. (It's so not fair how much faster men lose weight). I want to lose about 15 pounds. This will be my bday present to myself …. bday is Sunday, 5/31! We'll both sign up under one email.

    I just happened on your site on a link from Cubbie Chica. Boy there are alot of us fluffy gals and guys out there trying desperately to get the weight off and I am one of them. I am in need of a boot in the butt and was wanting to join this challenge. Are there any over 50 gals out there who want to team up and kick some young butt?? I am sooo ready. Can I still join?? I sell Avon and would love to contribute some prizes.

    I think I might be too late. I procrastinated because I thought I'd be a horrible teammate, but after doing Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred and making it through without quitting, I think I can do it. This is a risk for me and I hate letting people down. So if you have anymore stragglers, I'd like to give it a try.

  • shrinkingjeans

    We'd love to have you Jessica! I'll get you added to the list and get your
    team assignment to you this afternoon :)
