Power of One Challenge::The Beginning!

Article by ChristyFollow me:

***A winner has been chosen for the Eat Smart Digital Bathroom Scales! It is Altamese from Solejourner Truth. Congratulations girl! That awesome new scale will come in handy as you shrink in 2011!***

It’s time for a brand new weight-loss and fitness challenge here at the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans, and what better time to start than right before 2010 ends!

I can hear you now…..Why would you torture me with a challenge that starts today? I don’t want to even think about it until January 1st!

Suck it up and quit whining, okay? We’re doing it because we LOVE you and really, there’s no better time to start than RIGHT NOW!

This challenge will, of course, focus on weight-loss, but we’ll also be throwing in some fantastic fitness elements, so even if you don’t need to lose weight, there will be something for you (and we promise not to punch you)! Read: NO EXCUSES!

SOOOOOO, the challenge starts right here, right now. Today. There are no teams this time around, because we really want you to focus on the ONE person who is most important: YOU. Yes, you. You are important, beautiful, smart, funny, and strong; and you can do this. We promise. If you stick with us, you’ll be successful in all your fitness and weight-loss goals, and you will have FUN doing it.

What is the Power of One, you ask?

The Power of One is a challenge that starts today and ends February 23rd, 2011. That’s 8 fun-filled, prize-filled, soul-searching, answer-finding, ass-kicking weeks for you to get your mind and body whipped into shape. Yes, we know that you won’t reach all of your goals in 8 weeks, but omigosh it’s an awesome way to get started with lots of support and friendship!

If you haven’t already registered for the challenge, do it NOW!

We’ll have challenges every week. There will be weekly check-ins with awesome prizes for a randomly selected challenger* each week, sponsored by EatSmart. We’ll have an AMAZING grand prize for one randomly selected challenger*, sponsored by CLICK. There will be weekly Tworkouts on Tuesday, and a Twitter party or two thrown in for good measure. Plus, all of our regularly scheduled programming.

Trust me, we’ve got you covered. You won’t have time to even think about nachos, because we’re going to keep you busy. Promise.

And now you’re asking: What do I do now?!

  • First things first. Go step on your scale and record your starting weight, then kiss that number goodbye, because you’ll never see it again.
  • Next, go blog about it and link up below. If you don’t have a blog, you should really think about starting one. They’re free and fun, and such a great way to document this amazing journey. You can also blog about it over on the ‘hood, our online community!
  • Thirdly (I just love saying thirdly) take a before picture (and measurements) – you’ll never regret it.
  • And last, fill in the weigh-in form below with your starting weight! We’ll keep track of everything and announce our top shrinkers each week!

CHALLENGE ALERT!

(Because you knew you weren’t getting out of here without a challenge, right?!)

Today, when you write your weekly check-in post, we want you to STATE YOUR HEALTHY LIVING GOALS for this challenge and the New Year. No, we’re not calling them resolutions, because that is so last week. We are calling them goals, because goals are awesome. You can make mini-goals, short-term goals, long-term goals, or just plain goals. They can focus on anything from pounds you want to lose to races you want to compete in. However you want to do it, just make sure you get it done, okay?!

    I am super excited for this challenge! I recently bought a Weight Watchers digital bathroom scale, and its funny. I intended to get rid of my ancient digital scale, but I can’t seem to part with it…and so, I end up weighing on BOTH scales, twice the fun…NOT!

    Up an embarassing 8 pounds since my last weigh-in in…. October. :hangs head in shame: That’ll teach me to skip a challenge.

    My bathroom scale is a Tanita somethingsomething. You can set it up for two people to measure weight and body fat but the body fat measurements are so off I just use it for weight. It’s got be about 12 years old now. Definitely time for a new one.

    I have a digital scale by Healthometer. It sucks! I have to get on many times for it to read the same weight. I swear I haven’t moved an inch and it’ll read a whole lb off. So frustrating! Especially when you need it to be as accurate as possible. I’m excited for this challenge! I need something to help push me along after my diagnosis and this is just what I needed…another challenge! :)

    So happy that we’re doing another challenge – thanks to the Sisterhood for setting this up!

    My scale is digital, though I don’t remember the brand (whatever Target sells). It can keep up to four people’s weights…though I always weigh-in once before officially recording my weight in the scale, and this usually backfires. I’m not sure how, but between my initial weigh-in, and the recording weigh-in (which happen within seconds), the recording weigh-in is usually 1-2 lbs more(!!)

    I have a weight watchers digital scale. I actually like my scale – not for what it tells me, but because I feel it is pretty accurate and it lets me save the last 5 weights. Now if I could just get to the point mentally where I only step on it once a week, I think that would be ideal!

    i am so ready for this challenge…i thought i was going to weigh more this morning than i did…. i am 1 lb less than my start weight of the holiday hoedown challenge…which is not what the scale was showing yesterday by far, and i am so not complaining…!! :)

    My scale is on it’s last leg. It is a newer digital with body fat analyzer, but it’s not too sturdy and it’s a few years old.

    Let me tell you how great the timing of this challenge is… I’ve just started losing again (over the holiday – am I crazy?) and would love some outside incentive. Also, it ends right before our family moves cross country. Basically, my goal is to keep losing despite pre-move stress. I would love to surprise my extended family with my weight loss when we visit. AND I want to get to our new spot feeling great… energy would be an asset.

    I guess I should revive the blog… so much to talk about! Good luck everyone!

    My scale is a generic-brand digital I bought at the hardware store. It works just fine for weighing me and it seems to be fairly accurate.

    I am looking forward to this challenge. I have sat out the last few, but it is time to get moving again! I have shrunk a whole size over the past few months, but I have been really bad with my eating over the holidays and need to get back on track. I felt like a big bloated greaseball on my treadmill yesterday!

    I bought a Weight Watchers scale a year or two ago after the carpet in my bathroom (I know, it sucked) was replaced by tile and I didn’t have to have a scale that worked on carpet.

    We have a digital bathroom scale. It’s not terribly fancy though – just does half-pound increments and no snazzy BMI or anything. Just a classic, simple scale. It does its job, and the half pound increments might even be good for me – I can’t obsess over 1/10ths of a pound that fluctuate wildly.

Yes, it still works good, and it does the basics–you step no it, it gives you a number. But thats all. It measures in .5 pounds, and I’d love one that measures in .2. It would also be nice to have 4 user settings so my family each could have their own measurements.

    My bathroom scale hates me. YOU WEIGH 160! No, wait! YOU WEIGH 165! HAHA! *hrmph* It also needs a bath, because it’s my son’s cat’s favorite place to nap, and she rolls all over it.
    I can’t BELIEVE I have passed up 160. I feel awful about it. But I can fix this! I really, really can!
    My ultimate goal is 120lbs. Obviously that’s not going to happen in 8 weeks without, IDK, a tapeworm and 8 hour a day workouts, and who has the time for that AND life enjoyment? Not me! But I can hit 10lbs in that time. It just requires a few changes. Less candy. Less [no] pepsi. Less baked goods. More raw fruits and veggies, more raw and unprocessed foods period.
    I already hike with my mom for 1.5-2 hours most mornings. I’m adding in yoga and pilates in the evenings – I can do this AND get in quality time with my kids because they all get down and do it with me.

So I am going to switch to South Beach (its the same principal of low glycemic) after I am done with all the NS food.

    My bathroom scale ‘supposedly’ was a good scale… not so much. It goes through batteries worse than any other ‘electrical’ thing we have in our home and my kids have Leapster2s. It gets the job done… but definately time for a new one in the Krumdiddy house…

    I have the Taylor lithium bath scales as they seem to be very accurate according to typical doctor scales.

    I’ve got a WW digital scale that I just packed up! It does body fat % and all that jazz….actually I think that just gave me a reason to unpack it! I’m not interested in the lbs number but I would be interested to track the other info for the challenge! You just gave me a great idea :)

    Well, I’ve signed up. My scale is an analog antique, and it lives in my husband’s bathroom where it can’t taunt me. I basically never weigh myself, so weekly weigh-ins are a new thing for me.

    My scale is a digital that I got for a wedding present from my mother. Nice. Not only that but it doesn’t read accuratley, so when I step on it 3 times in a row, I get 3 different numbers. Sometimes I take an average, sometimes I swear at it. I also have an analog scale that weighs 6 pounds lighter than every other scale, so I have to add every time I weigh on that one.

    I use my Wii Fit board to weigh in. It’s in the “toy room” with the Wii.

    I confess that I’m a bit scared that I’ll be in over my head with this challenge, but it could be fun!

    My current scale is really old. It is not digital and has dust build up on it. I actually had to get down and clean it since I moved in to lower, not so often seen, numbers.

    I’m ready for this new challenge too! I have got to get this weight off for good. Bring on a smaller me in 2011!

    I have a scale that’s supposed to do the fat test – but it just errors out now. I have contemplated getting a new one, but the weighing part still works just fine. I wish I could blame the extra pounds on the scale, but I can’t!

    I have a cheap digital scale that is a couple of years old. I got it at target and it works but is nothing to get excited about. It weighs in 1/2 lb increments. I keep thinking that I should buy a new one but I would rather spend my money on workout shoes and gear!

    My current at-home scale is a digital one that like to read all zeros, ERR or randomly change my weight each time I step on it. ;)

    I am looking forward to this, especially since this is my first time here. It came just in time since I gained 4 lbs over the holiday’s. I needed this incentive!

    We have a digital scale that I got from my sister who inherited it when she moved into her grandparent inlaws house. It works okay but the pad on top is peeling off.

    I’m so excited this challenge is finally here! It absolutely couldn’t come at a better time for me. I’m moving on from a recent heartbreak and it’s time to focus on ME in 2011!! I blogged about my goals for the challenge here (also added to the linky link):

    My current bathroom scale is a Tanita and it’s pretty nice. I’ve heard a lot of great things about the Eat Smart scales though, so I would love to try one out.

    Oh, yeah, I was supposed to mention my current scales. LOL! They are not digital and that is so annoying! The pointer never points exactly at the zero, plus it is so hard to read. I am always triple-checking the number and squinting to make sure I saw the pointer correctly.

    I ran out and bought a new digital scale before I started the Survivor challenge so I was sure I had an accurate scale for that challenge. Looking forward to this challenge. I have missed it! Thanks!

    I’ve got a digital scale, but I heard a menacing crack the other day and some of the pixels on the screen have gone out. Time for a new one…

    I just found this blog and the challenge. I am really looking forward to this challenge. I actually weigh myself each morning on the Wii balance board. We do have a scale, it was digital and was supposed to measure more than just weight, but I haven’t used in almost 3 years so I can’t remember.

    My scale – umm, is it bad that I had to go get a new battery for it? Yep, that neglected. In honesty, I work parttime for a Dr so use the big “pro” scale at my office – occasionally. ;) This is my first challenge, and I am looking forward to it.

    I just found this website and this challenge. I’ve been searching everywhere for a motivating challenge…I think I’ve found it.
    My scale is interesting, to say the least. I bought it a Wal-Mart to replace my older model. I still don’t know if it works the way it should because it’s never done what it is supposed to. Each week for my weigh-in, I take the average of about 3 times stepping on the scale :)
