The beauty of being on a team is not only are you accountable to yourself, but also your teammates. When you feel like eating that cupcake, or that second serving at dinner, or if you just don’t have it in you to workout, think about the bigger picture! Your team is counting on you to stay strong and make good choices. Your team is also there when you need support, or when you just need someone to say “step away from the brownie”. We encourage you to stay in constant contact with each other via email and twitter. Get to know one another! Check in on each other, encourage and support each other.

If you’re new around here, you’re more than welcome to join in a challenge anytime, but why not start today since it’s Day 1? If you’re interested in being part of the Sisterhood, just let us know and grab a button for your blog. Don’t have a blog? No worries! Just follow along with us here!

We’ve got some fabulous prizes lined up for this challenge, but we are in need of more! If you’re interested in sponsoring a prize for our random weekly weigh in drawings or something special for the overall winners of the challenge, you can email Melissa at melissa@shrinkingjeans.net.

If you’d like to join a team, please let me know (christy@shrinkingjeans.net) and I’ll add you to an existing team, or if there are enough requests, then we’ll form a new one.

So let’s get down to business! Go weigh in, if you haven’t already! Blog about it, link back to us, and come here and leave the permalink to your post in the comments section. Grab a new challenge button, and don’t forget to check out all the other Sisters’ blogs and make sure to let them know you’re there supporting them!

Team Captains: Please compile the starting weights for each member of your team and email them to me at christy@shrinkingjeans.net.

If you’re not following us on Twitter, you should be. Heck, make sure you’re following all of your teammates too!

And don’t forget to subscribe to us. See up there in the right side bar up at the top? You can subscribe in a reader or through email. How convenient, right? I know!

So I think that’s about it! Get Shrinking everyone!
