View Comments 10/21/2009 | Christy

Hello sisters and brothers!! Today is weigh-in day here at the Sisterhood, and we want to know how you did this past (non-challenge) week! Did you keep up your momentum and shrink some more? We hope so. Hop on those scales and let us know how you did, okay!

And now for the important stuff! SHOW US YOUR CANS!!! That’s right, we want to see all the cans you collected during the Shrink for Good challenge. Did you gather them all up and take some pictures of them? Yes? PERFECT! Be-bop on over to your blog and post about them. Tell us about your overall loss, how many pounds of cans you’re donating, and why you loved this challenge so much. Because you loved it right? I know we did. So much! While you’re at it, please add your photos to our Sisterhood Flickr Group! We want to be able to share all the fabulous can shots with our friends from Weight Watchers!

After you’re done posting and sharing you link, start clicking and join the parade! Go look at everyone else’s cans!!!

For those of you who post pictures of your cans on your blogs and link back to the Sisterhood, we’re going to have a random drawing for the Weight Watchers Lose for Good reusable totes. They are quite awesome and highly sought after items!! The best thing is we have 10 to give away! WOOT!

As if we weren’t having enough fun, it’s now time for us to announce the Biggest Shrinker for the Shrink for Good challenge!!

    I maintaned this week which is HUGE with the week I've had. I didn't eat poorly but I've been going back and forth to the hospital which is a couple hours from where I live. My Dad went into a comma last Wednesday and was on life support. They believed him to be seizing undetected for up to 36 hours. The “plug” was going to be pulled on Monday but Sunday afternoon he woke up. Might I say that I am generally an emotional eater?!!! Yep, maintenance is golden this week. Due to this last week though I have moved from running the 5k to a walk run.

    Well, I will use what I had originally intended to be our last weigh in, since that Saturday, nothing had changed for either of us:

    I am so excited to be the biggest shrinker! This was perfect timing – I have been feeling defeated for days. I got my Lose For Good tote bag today, too – thanks everyone!

  20. It's working now.

  21. Bari_F says:

    It has been another crazy-busy week with no time to blog (although I did get to update the wiki I manage for work, so that was a plus). I somehow managed to lose 1.2 lbs this week, so I'm back down into the 150s at 159.6! I'm very happy with this since I haven't exercised in about 2 weeks and haven't really been tracking what I eat. I guess running around town with a couple of 12 year olds counts for something. And props to my daughter for finishing her 1st volleyball season and then signing up for the diving team, on top of gymnastics training. I get exhausted just thinking about it! If she stays this active, maybe she won't have to deal with the weight issues that plagued me at her age (and now, for that matter).

  22. Pubsgal says:

    Net loss was -2.2, but my weight fluctuated more than PMS mood swings. See my “Wide World of Cans” over at http://oppositelife.blogspot.com/2009/10/weekly...

  23. DALewis says:

    Hubs is out of town and I'm super busy and tired and need to go to bed. I posted quick here http://dalewis.blogspot.com/2009/10/weigh-in-we... but didn't show a pic with cans. 4 lbs of cans for me. Nothing too exciting but they'll get donated. :o)

    Congrats to Pam!!!

  24. Lisa_ShrinkingJeans says:

    Pam, YOU ROCK!

    Here's my parade of cans…..weight is the same as last week- 170.5 lbs.

  28. TheaDramaMama says:
