Current Challenge
Welcome to the sisterhood! Here is some information to help guide you through our 9th challenge!
What’s the challenge this time at the sisterhood?
Our second challenge of 2010 is going to be all about unearthing your inner winner. We’ll be stepping up the shrinking by taking your fitness to a whole new level. And you know what else? This time around we’re making it a team effort!
When does it begin and end? This challenge will run from Wednesday, February 24th until Wednesday, April 21st. That’s EIGHT weeks to shrink, shrink, shrink, and shrink some more!
Can I join at anytime? ABSOLUTELY! We want any newcomers to the sisterhood to jump right in and tag along at any point during the challenge. Just grab a button and put it on your blog and start right along with us!
Must I be a woman to join? Heck, no! We welcome women, mothers, brothers, fathers, absolutely ANYONE!
What do I need to do? Every Wednesday – weigh yourself. If you have a blog, write about your losses, gains, successes, frustrations. Then come back to Shrinking Jeans leave a comment that links back to your weekly blog post. In each post tell us what your previous weight was and what you are for that week. We all need a little accountability; this is a great way to have it.
If you are interested in joining a team, please contact Lisa (lisa@shrinkingjeans.net) and let her know. Do it quick, so you don’t miss out on any high fives and secret handshakes.
Do I have to join a team? No you don’t! If you want to go it alone, you are more than welcome in this challenge. Just weigh in on Wednesdays and let us know how you’re doing!
Do I have to weigh in every Wednesday? Weigh-in on whatever day works best for you. Just make sure to get with your team, so your weight can be reported on Wednesdays.
What if I don’t want to lose weight, and just want to hang out and exercise with y’all because you’re cool? While the Sisterhood the Shrinking Jeans is geared toward Shrinking, we welcome our skinny Sisters (and Brothers) with opened arms! If you want to hang out and participate in our fitness challenges (just don’t show us up, m’kay?), or you just want some support as you figure out maintenance, you are welcome here.
Do I have to have a blog? Nope. You can type in your losses/gains next to your name every week. However, perhaps consider starting a blog. They’re free and journaling while losing weight is awesome.
What if I have information I want to share? Please share any thoughts, recipes, product reviews and meaningful blog posts with us. You can e-mail us anything. (Except pictures of chocolate or pizza) We’d love for this site to feel like your home, so get your running shoes on and get comfortable! More than likely we will share whatever you send us! Just keep it clean and pertinent!
You can also engage in conversation with your fellow Sisters in the comments sections of posts thanks to our new commenting plug-in!
AND you can now join the ‘hood, our Sisterhood social networking site!
Do you happen to have any advice for me for this challenge? Why yes we do. Let us know your starting weight so we can track how much you lose during the challenge, and take your before picture now. You will never regret it. When I look at mine, I throw my donut in the garbage and I don’t even go back and get it later.
Do I have to be on Weight Watchers to join this challenge? Oh goodness no. Do whatever works for you.
Can I put a button on my blog promoting this challenge? I certainly don’t want to keep all of this healthy goodness to myself! Goodness yes. Buttons with codes can be found up there at top under “grab a button”. Grab one of our logos buttons and the current challenge button for your blog’s sidebar. Go ahead; all the cool cats are doing it!
