Shrinking Days of Summer – Weigh-in #5

[ 82 ] 07/01/2009 |

Good morning Sisters and Brothers! How are you? Did you have a good week? We hope so. So hop to it! Drag those scales out, blow the dust off, take deep breath, and step on! Is the number getting smaller? We hope so. If it’s not, don’t fret. We all have off weeks, and just need to recenter and refocus!

Get on over to your blog and post. Post all about, and then come back here and leave us your link. What did you do differently this week? Good different and bad different. Were you super-focused or feeling a little lackadaisical? Identifying your feelings and journaling them is so very helpful. That’s part of the reason we encourage you to blog all about your shrinking journey. It not only helps YOU, but it helps others who might be feeling the same was as you realize THEY are not alone.

We are 3 weeks away from the end of this challenge! THREE WEEKS! Wow. How is your team doing? Are you keeping each other away from the nachos? We hope so!

Team Sage is  in the lead for the challenge with 2.25% of their weight gone forever!! Way to go team SAGE! Teams Navy and Orange round out the top three, losing 2.08% and 1.97%, respectively. You can check out last week’s Leaderboard here! It’s still anyone’s game though, so don’t give up or give in!

And now for housekeeping:

  • Team Captains: Please email your team members current weights to Christy (christy@shrinkingjeans.net) by 9 p.m. Central time. That’s Central time, folks! If you’re missing anyone, don’t let that stop you from getting your weights in on time. We’ll just carry over that person’s weight from last week.
  • Don’t forget to check out our sponsored prizes for this week!!
  • Make sure you click on those links and go give your fellow Sisters and Brothers some encouragement this week.
  • If you haven’t subscribed to us, you should. And you should also follow us on Twitter!

Thanks for another great week, everyone. Keep Shrinking!!!

    129.8, down 1.8 lbs. I would feel good about it except I haven't worked out at all so pretty sure this is reflecting my loss in muscle mass!!!!

  • http://mommieblogs.blogspot.com/ courtney

    I had a rough week challenge wise. Fun week in all visiting family, but unfortunately the good times equal weight gain! YIKES! I am up a pound.

  • SJs_April

    I'm so sorry for your loss.

  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting

    I'm sorry for your loss!

  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting

    I didn't lose, unfortunately. I'm going through some health issues at the moment that are preventing me from participating the way I'd like to, and continue with the roll I was on. I'm so mad, I was finally over the plateau, too! I hope to treat myself homeopathically instead of waiting for a damn doctor, but right now I'm failing :( I will still try, though, it won't stop me from trying!

  • SJs_April

    I feel the exact same way, Nancy. We'll get out 10 lb buttons! Don't you worry!

  • http://randbumb.blogspot.com/ Sarah Nather

    only down .5 this week. thank you very much, hormones. 148.5. i tried 3 different scales, and settled on that number :) i would love to win a give away!!

  • SJs_April

    That's good, though! Great job!!

  • SJs_April

    Hey, you lost, that's fine! I'm still proud of ya. :o)

  • Carolyn

    Lost another 4 pounds. I know the weekly losses are going to start getting smaller, but it feels good for now!
