Brace yourselves, Sisters (and Brothers), because this is going to be packed with all kinds of excitement and information. For.real.

How are you doing on the 21 Days Challenge? It’s been 14 days and hopefully those new habits are slowly forming! How are you feeling? Is it getting easier, or has it been hard? Have you fallen off? If so, get back on NOW! You CAN do this!!!

Let’s just get that pesky weighing in thing out of the way real quick. K? Go do it. Blog real quick, come back here and post your link. Are you doing okay with shrinking since we’ve been on challenge hiatus? If not, don’t worry, because we have a very exciting new challenge starting very soon! More on that in a bit!

The first bit of news I want to share with you is that we’ve recruited 2 brand new Sisters to contribute here at the Sisterhood. Thank you to everyone who submitted a post for consideration. We had a tough time narrowing it down, but we’re pleased to announce that we’ve chosen Heather and Christie for the new Sisterhood positions. From the brainstorming emails we’ve shared with them so far, we can honestly say there’s no doubt each of these ladies brings some wonderful experience to the table. Welcome ladies!!

You can find Heather’s Shrinking Jeans blog here, and you can find Christie’s Shrinking Jeans blog here! Please go over and give them both a huge Sisterhood welcome! And don’t forget to check out there bios here!

PhotobucketIn case you didn’t notice, we’re teaming up with Weight Watchers for our next challenge, and it will coincide with their Lose For Good campaign (<—you must, must, must click that link!!!)! We are SO excited to be working with Weight Watchers, to say the least, because not only will be shrinking, but we’ll be benefiting two amazing charities in the process. That’s right, the Sisterhood is going to do some good while we shrink! Also? There’s a giveaway, and it’s really sweet! Head over here to check it out!

So yes, our new challenge will start on Sunday, August 30th. I know we don’t typically start on a Sunday, but the Lose for Good campaign is running from then until Saturday, October 17th. So we’ll begin our challenge that Sunday with a beginning weigh-in, and then weigh-in, as usual, on Wednesdays! Different, but SO worth it!

PhotobucketAs if all that other stuff weren’t enough, we are also beginning a brand new fitness challenge on Monday, August 31st! The Sisterhood will be diving into the EA Sports Active Personal Trainer 30-Day Challenge. WOOT! Did you read our reviews? Have you ordered your copy? Get on it, girls and boys!! This is one you definitely don’t want to miss. We’ve all had the chance to try it out and it’s amazing. Truly challenging, and we promise you’ll sweat like a maniac. Plus, the trainer is so much nicer than Jillian. So polite and encouraging! :)

Did you get all that? Exciting stuff, right?

    better late than never! I'm down a grand total of 4 oz this week. Oh baby! Better than a gain, right?

  • I am so late and I didn't blog this week :( However, I am doing well. Especially with the eating. I have definitely avoided too many things like cookies first thing in the morning and traded it for a lot more fruit and yogurt. Also trying to make sure I eat some veggies with dinner and drink more water than coffee during the day. I got on the scale this morning and I seem to be at 150-151 (hard to say for sure) which is good. I didn't gain and I think I may even be down a little bit from last week. I do need to step up the exercise though. I'm failing at that this week. I'm looking forward to this new challenge!
  • I didn't forget to weigh - I didn't want to see what that @#$% scale would say, but I got on this morning and it wasn't so bad. I maintained.....thats a good thing. I can't wait until the next challenge - I need a challenge - working on my own is too hard. I give up on myself too easily...that sounds really bad now that I put it on paper (so to speak). I guess that is why I loved being on teams. Will we be doing teams??

  • Hi everyone! I am sorry I haven't been active lately. I have been felling blue and in a funk. I haven't been blogging much. Alot of it has to do with my weight but there were other issues. I am feeling better and the bloggy bug bit me:)

    Unfortunately I let very bad habits take hold. I gained more weight since two weeks ago. But I am back on board in a serious way.

    Today was a lot better because of my friends! Thanks everyone!

    Congrats Heather and Christie....you guys deserve it!!
  • ummm puke! I just stepped on the scale (I forgot it was Wed honestly...) and it said 248.... that means I GAINED 8 FREAKING POUNDS!

    Better luck next week right...
  • Like I said, you should try again in the a.m. ;p Or just have a huge loss next week??

    Great job everyone! I just popped by to say, a little off topic, that as many as can should pop over to Ann's blog and show her some love. She's sending her oldest off to college, and having a really tough time of it. The blues and the comfort eating are beckoning, and she could really use some kind words!
  • You are so great for passing this on...I'm on my way over...
  • Thanks for being such a concerned friend!
  • Thanks for the heads up, Karena! I'm headed over there right now!

    up .8 this week, but I'm HOPING (for more than 1 reason) that it is just because I'm about to get my period any day now

  • Thanks Lissa
  • Amy
    I am down 5 lbs this week. Was seriously retaining water last week I guess. I am not doing great on the habits. I'd really like to be doing better. But am doing great with sticking to my food plan. Whatever works! I still have over 50lbs to get to my goal!
  • WOW! THat is awesome! Great job!

  • Heather, I think you may need to enable comments... I tried last night too. Let me know if you need help!
  • Her comments are fixed. Not sure what the prob was, but I somehow figured it out!
  • Christy is my hero today!
  • kay6672
    Heather -- congrats on the loss, and on your new position! I tried commenting on your blog here, but the comments don't seem to be working?
  • lucidb
  • Yay, I'm finally on my way back down (0.9 lbs)! The habits need some work though.

    I'm down 1.5 this week! My post is here: http://karena.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/wednesda...

    Funny, when I read that SJ was looking for new writers, these are two of the names that immediately popped into my head as good candidates! Great job, Christie and Heather!! You rock!
  • Thank you for having me!!!!! I love all you girls and I'm really excited for the next challenge! My new starting point is 140.5 for now, I am still hoping to lose those 10 pounds (or so). I have a new scale so that number is a little bit up than the final tally for the last challenge so I'm not sure what's right but this is what I'm going with forevermore. Good luck everyone!! Come visit me! http://christieo.shrinkingjeans.net/2009/08/18/...
  • Yeah...congrats Heather and Christie! Love reading your blogs, now we'll get twice as much joy from you ladies!

    It's been a great week for me...down 2.2 lbs!
