SHRINKVIVOR Announcement & Mini-Challenge {week 1}

[ 11 ] 09/29/2011 |

Good afternoon, everyone! How are you doing? Are you off to a great shrinktastic start to our new challenge?

Hopefully, you remembered to check-in yesterday! There were several people who didn’t and many of you who got a little confused or forgot. Those of you who were late but got a hold of us in some form or another, guess what? You are in luck. We will let ya slide! :) Just don’t let it happen again, m’kay? Some people didn’t show up AT ALL, so they have been eliminated from their tribes. It makes me very, very sad, so stop it, okay? Remember to check-in from 9 p.m. Central each Wednesday! The updated list is here: http://shrinkingjeans.net/shrinkvivor-11-tribes/

We have decided to throw in a mini-challenge for all SHRINKVIVORS this week, to give you a jump-start in the right direction. I am going to take a wild guess that most of you are crazy-busy right about now. {I am} My days fly by and sometimes I barely have time to even think, much less cook. Evenings are spent driving kids back and forth from dance and football and choir and volleyball and you name it. My husband is gone for weeks at a time. Many of these nights, that means fast food. BUT NOT THIS WEEK. Nope. No fast food for me, no fast food for you. The mini-challenge this week is to completely avoid fast food.

A few other things to mention:

Join us on Sundays for menu-planning! Follow ours or link up your own menu plan!

Mondays we like to chat it up at the ‘hood! Join us for SisterChat at 8 p.m. Central!

Tuesdays = Tworkout. A workout on Twitter! Follow us @shrinkingjeans and join in the fun on Tuesdays, 8 p.m. Central time!

    So is there some kind of reward for avoiding fast food, and is there a punishment for partaking in the fried goodness? :)

      I can bust out my whipping stick if you want! ;p

    I’ve kept away from fast food for the most part, when I did go it was a salad of some sort that I looked up calorie info on:-)  I do eat out once or twice a week but it’s normally restaurants where I can make good choices so I’ve got this one!  WOOT!!

    Lissa, for tribes who lost a member because of failure to check in, does that mean we won’t have to vote someone out this week?

    • http://www.whereverimaywander.com Lissa_ShrinkingJeans

      No, not necessarily. We just eliminated the people that never technically started. Next week, the tribe with the lowest % of weight loss will be sent to Exile, as well as a person off each tribe, either the person with the most votes, if no votes then the lowest % lost, unless another person doesn’t check in. Make sense? ;)

    I haven’t eaten fast food in a month or so, so I can handle this one!

  • Betsey

    No problem!  We order a pizza now and then, but that’s about it.  Got this one covered!

  • Misty_1375

    Whew! Good thing I changed my mind on the way home tonight! I knew there was a reason why before I had even read the mini challange! Yay me!!

    Love this mini challenge, this is easy for us as we don’t eat fast food. BUT tomorrow I will be gone all day. I just told my tribe I am going to have to pack a lunch.

    I’m right with you Melissa driving kids back and forth no time to cook it’s so tempting to just stop by a pizza hut or Little ceasars and pick up their daily deal… unfortuantely I read your blog tolate because yard sales and empty tummy dont mix well and I had  to make Mdonald’s stop 
     :( so keep up the good work the rest of you gals!!
