Summer Weight Loss Info and Sign-Ups

[SarainMN3]

Welcome to the Summer Weight loss challenge. We will be starting on June 1st. Weigh in days will be on Friday each week.

This time we are going by how many pounds you lose.

What you need to do before June 1st:

*Paypal Monica $5 at monica@scrapfreak.com. At the end, who ever loses the most pounds will win a Scrapfreak gift certificate for the total amount collected (dollaramount depends on how many people participate) minus any paypal fees.

*Send me a picture of your first weight before June 1st and then again on the last day which is Aug 1st. You can take a picture and email, mail, or text it. Which ever is easier for you. This way we keep everyone honest.
If you miss 2 weigh ins in a row you will be disqualified!!

We will have some exercise challenges mixed in and maybe a few other guest appearances teaching us some things. It will be fun and we can all lose weight at the same time!!

PM if you would like to join and be sure to send in your first weight picture (scale weight) by June 1st.

[Tamara]

I am definately in. :banana:

[MrsCarty]

:banana: I'm in, and last year I was rockin' this until I got pregnant so watch out!! :evil:

[Tamara]

You are still rocking it girl! I am soooo afraid of you. :giggle:

[Tamara]

not afraid afraid. Afraid that you are gonna kick my butt in the challenge. :D

[Tupqueen1]

I am in!!!!!!!!!!
This will be fun!

[Tupqueen1]

PP sent...now off to get the weight photo (sigh)

[jclizzzard]

i'm confused - is it taking a picture of the scale? or taking a "before" picture of yourself?

and is it most pounds lost or highest percentage lost?

sorry for all the questions!

[Tamara]

she wants a picture of your scale with your feet on there to show how much you weigh. :yes:

[jclizzzard]

but my camera's pretty big and heavy and will add weight! :giggle:

[MrsCarty]

um won't that weigh the camera? :tsk:

I'll have to have dh take it!

[MrsCarty]

exactly jules! :highfive:

[MrsCarty]

not afraid afraid. Afraid that you are gonna kick my butt in the challenge. :D

:evil: Well, here's to hoping I do!

Now what in the heck did I do last time that was so successful? :hmmm:

:bolt: that thread's gotta be around here somewhere!

[Tamara]

well, if you are holding your camera for the first weigh in and then holding it for the last weigh in, it won't matter how much your camera weighs. It will still accurately show your weight loss. :yes:

And we had this very discussion last time. A camera doesn't add that much. :giggle:

[Cherie]

:hmmm: I don't have a scale. I might have to go shopping - huh?

[Tupqueen1]

OK - just took the picture...I like the scale at the DRs office better (ahem).

[ErinW]

I wanna play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tupqueen1]

well, if you are holding your camera for the first weigh in and then holding it for the last weigh in, it won't matter how much your camera weighs. It will still accurately show your weight loss. :yes:


LOL- I was thinking the same thing -- as long as you use the same camera it should be fine.
**note to Sara who is monitoring the photos: my camera weighs 30 pounds - so don't be shocked when you see my weigh in picture
:rolleyes:

[ErinW]

I just PayPal'd my money to Monica! :)

I'm so ready for this challenge! weeeeeee!

Sara, do you need me to PM you still... or will this work?? ;) I'll get my pic to you soon!!!

[april]

I was curious after the last BL round at how much my camera weighed and sho nuff.. it was 5 and a half pounds. :eek: I ain't lying :giggle:

[MrsCarty]

i just weighed with and without mine and mine weighs 1.5 pounds!

[Beffy]

I am in Sara :D

[blizzie]

Oh I want to be in on this. It will keep me accountable.

[DangerMouse]

I want in but will need to figure out the paypal thingy. I'm thinking that if I use this for accountability, like Melissa said, I can quit paying WW $40/m and buy more scappy stuff!...:)

[Tupqueen1]

ooohhh.. a motivational plan, I like it!

[Scrapnmom81721]

I am in!! I ain't sending no weight pic in till closer to time though... LOL Like on the 31st... LOL I will paypal Mon here soon though!

[Stacey]

[KrissyM]

I'm in, will get the picture ASAP (how embarassing LOL!!!)

Krissy

[MKpinklady]

I'm in too!! My digital scale has a dead battery...so I'll have our fitness center lady take the pic for me tonight when I go in to Kickboxing class! :)

[MKpinklady]

So I don't have to look back...who was the weiner last round-and how much did she lose? I want to know what I'm up against. :D

[ChickieShannon]

I'm in!

[april]

So I don't have to look back...who was the weiner last round-and how much did she lose? I want to know what I'm up against. :D

I lost 14 but I didn't win. I didn't get my picture in since I was on vacation and didn't have good access to internet and loading pictures capability.

:)

[LisaS]

I realized that I can't really do this since I leave on 6/30 for Myrtle Beach and won't be back until mid August. I won't have Internet Access down there. :eek:

[Beffy]

So I don't have to look back...who was the weiner last round-and how much did she lose? I want to know what I'm up against. :D

sorry for all the questions!

yes, taking a pic of you on the scale at the begining weight. Its most pounds lost

she wants a picture of your scale with your feet on there to show how much you weigh. :yes:

:yeahthat:

I just PayPal'd my money to Monica! :)

I'm so ready for this challenge! weeeeeee!

[DearAbby]

Well, I'll join in on the exercise part, but not much of the weight loss part.

[SarainMN3]

:thankyou: for hostessing Sara :hug:

[KrissyM]

[MKpinklady]

Money has been sent to Mon and email has been sent to Sara! :woohoo:

[Tamara]

[Tupqueen1]

some of you girls are fast.

At least you put the "s" in there - I appreciate that :D

[SarainMN3]

I got in Kim and Dannelle, thanks!!!!

[blizzie]

Hey Sara, I sent my money in yesterday. I'm sending you my picture now.

[SarainMN3]

:hoorah:

[MrsCarty]

Sara, aren't you playing? Your name isn't in the OP! :giggle:

[Tamara]

:giggle:

[SarainMN3]

:no: cuz I'm hosting.
new rule
but I am playing along

[Tamara]

I'm glad you are playing along. :banana:

[MrsCarty]

:eek: Who makes these rules!?? That stinks! :sadeyes:

[SarainMN3]

Mama Freak

[SarainMN3]

oh its fine, like I said I am playing along, I just can't win :D

[SarainMN3]

its good for you guys cuz I'D KICK YOUR BUTTS!!!

[MrsCarty]

:spit:

[Tamara]

i better do good the whole way through this time. Not just the last few weeks. I could of done fabulous if I had last time.

[SarainMN3]

:D

[MKpinklady]

Sara, if you lose more than me, I'll buy you a prezzie.

[Cherie]

Sara, if you lose more than me, I'll buy you a prezzie.

:yeahthat: And I'm not even playing! Well, techincally, I haven't decided yet if I'm playing or not yet. :giggle:

[SarainMN3]

Sara, if you lose more than me, I'll buy you a prezzie.

ohhhh incentive :hoorah:

[SarainMN3]

I'll send my scale pic to you Kim

[Beffy]

Sara, aren't you playing? Your name isn't in the OP! :giggle:

:no: cuz I'm hosting.
new rule
but I am playing along

:eek: Who makes these rules!?? That stinks! :sadeyes:

Mama Freak

:sadeyes: sorry :( its prolly my fault since I was one of the winners when I was hosting

[SarainMN3]

well I won last time too so its no big deal!!! I just want to play along and loose some weight :sigh: hopefully

[Beffy]

i know
i just feel bad, kwim?
you know how easily I feel bad about stuff :o :whome:

[SarainMN3]

well, I'm about to post a thread that will make you happy :bolt:

[Beffy]

:eek:

[Dorothy]

Bethany, it's not "your fault". Stop that!!!

It's something that should've been a rule from the beginning. We never want someone to get mad or accuse a hostess of not being fair so it's just better if that person isn't eligible to win. It was overlooked and not stated when we all first started these things... so now we're making sure to add it in... before there's any problem.

[SarainMN3]

ya Beffy :smarty2:

[SarainMN3]

:bump:

can one of you awesome mod freaks make this a sticky cuz I found it on page 4 and I don't want people to forget

thanks!

[Tracy]

I wish I could stick to this challenge. I am afraid to join because I always lose my motivation.

[monica]

Ok dang it...I'm in. I'll send myself the money. lol

[Tracy]

I'll send myself the money. lol

:laugh2:

[april]

[Tamara]

:giggle:

[DangerMouse]

Sara, I sent you my pic... ironic that I send this while snacking on my bowl of mint choc chip ice cream :)

[SarainMN3]

Diane-I didn't get the pic?????

[DangerMouse]

Hmmm... I sent it to the email you lsited ... 'toddersv@hotmail.com'.... you didn't get the note w/pic attached? Did I get the correct email?

[SarainMN3]

ya, its the right email, I wonder if it went to my junk mail and my DH deleted it

[DangerMouse]

i'll try again....

[SarainMN3]

I got it :hoorah:

[SarainMN3]

Come on Tracy!!!!!! :cheer2:

[Beffy]

[Tracy]

Come on Tracy!!!!!! :cheer2:

:hmmm:

[Beffy]

:pyramid: c'mon T :cheer4:

[Tracy]

:giggle:

[Beffy]

:sigh:

[Tracy]

I will think about it. I am so bad and never stick to these challenges though. :sigh:

[crazy_lady]

I sent Monica my Money have to figure out a picture, I have no scale

[monica]

I updated the first thread with the money I've received. If for any reason, I missed you, let me know!

[SarainMN3]

I just did the Wii Fit hoola hoop-I'm beat, that was hard

I need a nap :giggle:

[ceekay]

Add me to the list. Maybe this will be my kick start!

[SarainMN3]

:hoorah: Charlotte!

[Tamara]

I really need to take a pic. I get on my scale everyday. I know, it is a terrible habit. And then I think....I need my camera. But I am too lazy to walk and get it. :sigh:

[ceekay]

Now to work on the picture!

[IadoreWentworth]

Ummm... wouldn't it make sense to take your picture now rather than wait until the last minute - so you have more time to lose??? This sounds like a great idea. I'm definitely going to participate.

[Beffy]

that sounds a litlle like cheating to me lol

[Tamara]

I agree. :D

[Beffy]

I would think the pics should be dated & taken the day before the start :shrug: but thats just me :o

[Tamara]

you want me to date mine? I can add a piece of paper on the scale with the date on it. :giggle:

[Beffy]

silly
no i was just thinking about the date IN the camera ya know lol
but I guess you could just change that anyway :giggle:
jsut nevermind me :o

[IadoreWentworth]

I'm going to take mine on the morning of the 31st and email it then. I'm at a weekend scrap event from Friday to Sunday, but I'm sleeping at home rather than staying in the hotel - since it's 10 minutes from my place. So I will have to stick a post-it note to my forehead before I go to sleep so I will remember to do it!!!
I feel like that guy in the movie "Momento" sometimes with post-it notes all over the place!

[Tamara]

silly
no i was just thinking about the date IN the camera ya know lol
but I guess you could just change that anyway :giggle:
jsut nevermind me :o

Not everyones cameras has that feature....that I know of.

[Beffy]

:smarty: shoosh Tam
I said nevermind me :o

[Tamara]

I don't know how to shoosh. :laugh2:

[Beffy]

:rolleyes:

[MKpinklady]

I sent my picture in because I KNOW myself and I didn't want to forget....and it's OK...I'll just maintain my fluffyness until June 1st....then, GAME ON!

[MKpinklady]

And Sara, by the way...you can send me your weight pic...I can totally pester you into accountability! :evil:

[Beffy]

I am not gonna take my pic yet since I am starting my diet today :o
i know that is not the smartest move 'game wise' but its what I gotta do :yes:

[Scrapnmom81721]

IT's only fair.. I mean the challenge doesn't start till the 1st, so that is why I kept wondering why so many were sending in their photos 2 weeks early....

[IadoreWentworth]

:(Exactly! Not fair to send your picture so early - if it's total pounds lost, then it's like a 2 week lead time to lose the weight.

[Tamara]

And I know I am already losing weight. Well, only a few pounds. But a few pounds is a few pounds. :yes:

[Scrapnmom81721]

Same here Tam... I started walking last week... and I know I will have lost a pound or two by the time of the start.... Plus I start exercise bike and treadmill at therapy this week as well, so that is more gonna be gone! LOL

[LisaS]

Same here Tam... I started walking last week... and I know I will have lost a pound or two by the time of the start.... Plus I start exercise bike and treadmill at therapy this week as well, so that is more gonna be gone! LOL


:ohyeah2: You go girlfriend!!!!!!!!

[Tamara]

Nice, huh.

I haven't been doing so good this week. But this morning, I was still down 2 1/2 pounds from last monday. So I see that as an accomplishment.

[SarainMN3]

And Sara, by the way...you can send me your weight pic...I can totally pester you into accountability! :evil:

I am going to send you my pic, just not now cuz I'm bloated :D

[Tamara]

love it....bloated. :giggle:

[SarainMN3]

I guess anyway you look at it you could cheat. I'm just trying to keep everyone honest KWIM? I'm trying not to be to anal about it too.

Lets just hope that its fair for everyone and everyone plays nice :D

[SarainMN3]

no really I am (TOM)

[SarainMN3]

Ummm... wouldn't it make sense to take your picture now rather than wait until the last minute - so you have more time to lose??? This sounds like a great idea. I'm definitely going to participate.

[Tamara]

I am gonna "play along" but I am not gonna enter the "contest" this time... I just know myself... LOL Plus I am not ready to join WW yet, I am waiting for them to start meeting at my church, so it is mucho closer!

[Tamara]

I officially signed up for WW today. Paid my weekly fees, got my own materials (instead of using my freinds). BRING IT ON! :giggle:

Oh, and I guess I better take my picture. :sigh:

[Scrapnmom81721]

YAY Tam!!! I am excited to start again!

[ceekay]

I found a TOPS group that meets on Friday mornings not too far from me. I will start going next week!

[Wendy Reed]

beat me if you want Wenny, but only if it helps to dissolve the cellulite! lol

:eek: I still have to take my picture

:giggle:

[IadoreWentworth]

I'll be doing atkins - so this will be interesting to see how it plays out. We will all be doing different programs.

I'm going to need one of those tickers in my signature I guess. I'm looking forward to this !

[crazy_lady]

Hey Sara can i stop at your house tomorrow so you can weigh me I have no scale, i will have to go to target and test out the scales and use the camera phone and send it to you. lol

[SarainMN3]

I'll pm you Kathy

[Beffy]

i got my scale at Target Kathy :yes:
& I am really happy with it :D

[crazy_lady]

Thanks Sara
Beffy do you think target will mind if I take them out of the package get on it and take a picture then put it back on the shelf???:)

[SarainMN3]

why not :giggle:

[Beffy]

they prolly wont even notice :laugh2:
but I always get ON the scale in the store before I buy it :yes: to make sure it works :D
I had to return a defective scale before :grrr: so irritating

[MrsCarty]

:sigh: I need to take my picture too.

[crazy_lady]

want to meet me at Target Jamie :)

[SarainMN3]

lol

[ErinW]

ACK! My scale is missing!!! No joke. I remembered today that I needed to take a pic for this challenge... and uhhhh, the scale is gone. Poof! Disappeared. I'm sure a child is guilty of putting it in some CRAZY place. So I'll be tearing my house apart tomorrow, looking for the dang thing!!!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

yeah Right, good one Erin J/k

[Tamara]

I need to take my picture. :sigh:

But I am bummed. I went to weight watchers yesterday and they weigh ya. I weigh more there than I do at home. And I trust their scale. BUMMER

[april]

But have you noticed a change elsewhere?

[Tamara]

well, I was wearing shoes and clothes at ww and don;t at home. lol

[SarainMN3]

that is a huge difference Tam

[Tamara]

4 - 5 pound difference?

[SarainMN3]

:yes: I remember when I went to WW and the first time I went I had on jeans and a t-shirt (I took off my shoes) and then the next time I had a sweater on and I freaked when the lady said I gained but then she asked me what I wore the last time and she told me to take off my sweater (I had a t-shirt on underneath) and it was a 3 lb difference

[Tamara]

wow. And we are not allowed to take our shoes off. Big sign that says shoes must be worn.

[SarainMN3]

:hmmm: weird

[MKpinklady]

Wear flip flops to the next meeting....and I'd go off of your scale at home for pounds lost. It's not going to fluctuate as much at home as it will with clothes and shoes on at WW.

[Tamara]

but then the next time I wear shoes, it will go up again. I think at this point, I prefer to wear almost the same stuff every time.

[ceekay]

I'm going to drop out of this challenge. My doctor just put me on steriods for my asthma and I know it will be impossible to try to lose weight right now.

So, I'll just stay on the sidelines and cheer you gals on and try to eat more healthy in the meantime!

[Beffy]

oh no! :consoling: I am so sorry Charlotte :hug:

[SarainMN3]

:hug: Charlotte

[crazy_lady]

Bummer Charlotte hope your Asthma gets better soon

[ceekay]

I'm going to shop for some healthy snacks so that when I get the hungries, at least they will be better than what I have been eating lately!

[Tamara]

Dang, is today my last day to get my pic taken and my money sent, right? I better remember. :sigh:

[Tamara]

I walked over an hour this morning. So far so good. Someone better keep tabs on me. Because by afternoon - eveningish, I get munchy. And that is what kills me. :sigh:

[april]

Try the tapping technique? It has worked for me for warding off cravings!

[MKpinklady]

I walked over an hour this morning. So far so good. Someone better keep tabs on me. Because by afternoon - eveningish, I get munchy. And that is what kills me. :sigh:

TAMARA??? How are you doing over there??? No munchin! It's 7:00...If you are gonna eat now...have a healthy snack...but not too much...better yet, just drink water!

[Tamara]

:waving: Hi Kim. Good job reminding me.

I did have 1/2 piece of chocolate (1 point) after dinner. It is my thing and I make sure I have enough points for that 1/2 piece. :giggle:

I do need to eat something else tonight....5 points worth. I have to eat a certain amount everyday and i am not there yet.

[Beffy]

:omg: wow! that is crazy that you just said you have to eat something :giggle:

[Beffy]

thats gotta feel weird :yes:

[MKpinklady]

:waving: Hi Kim. Good job reminding me.

I did have 1/2 piece of chocolate (1 point) after dinner. It is my thing and I make sure I have enough points for that 1/2 piece. :giggle:

:curtsey: No problem! :D

[MKpinklady]

Good job on only eating only a 1/2 piece o chocolate!

[Tamara]

:omg: wow! that is crazy that you just said you have to eat something :giggle:

Funny thing is....between all the walking I did today, the yard work and vacuuming my house, I have about 6 extra points I could eat. But I refuse to. I need to lose a few before I weigh in on thursday. I am sooooo afraid I gained. :sigh:

[Tamara]

Just checking in again. I walked 2 hours today. And done really well keeping track of my points I have eaten throughout the day.

This is the time of night I want to munch. But I got my water sitting right here next to me.

I have weigh ins tomorrow morning. I hope I worked hard enough these last three days to make up for gaining so much weight over the weekend.

[Beffy]

:goodluck: tam!! I hope you have a loss this week!!

[Tamara]

me too. Me too. :sigh:

[Beffy]

but dont stress bout it :consoling2:

[Tamara]

I just don't want them to think that I am a total :loser:. Loser as in not succeeding. Loser as in losing weight is fabulous. :giggle:

please PM me your weight (not your lbs lost/gained, I need the amount you weigh)

[MKpinklady]

How is everyone doing on the challenge so far?
I'll be curious to see what happened with my weight this week. While I *was* watching what I ate...I got all thrown off last week with my exercise because my gym was closed for a day. :( I'm still searching for the motivation to get back in there. Ugh, it's so hard to get there!!

[MKpinklady]

Oh, and Tamara-AWESOME job on the weight loss! You are doing great!! Keep it up and we won't be able to see you behind a telephone pole by the time you get to WI!!

[Beffy]

:yay: Yay Tam!! i am so happy for you!! :highfive: :cheer4:

i am doing good :yes:
when i weighed yesterday I had a 3 pound loss so far this week :banana:
(i so know that that is water weight :giggle: & that the first week on a diet is always the biggest & that I still have a few I need to lose that I gained after the BL challenge i hosted was over *but* I am still excited lol)

[SarainMN3]

:faint: beffy! Great job

[Beffy]

thanks :D

[Wendy Reed]

Woo hooooooo, you guys are rockin' it! CONGRATS!

[Beffy]

:yay:

[Tamara]

so, I did great at weigh ins as you know. But then tody, I have done crappy. Something about not feeling well makes me say forget it. But tomorrow, I am back on track and plan on walking Emma to school and walking to the store as well. :banana:

[Beffy]

i do horrible when i dont feel good too Tam :yes:

[Tamara]

but for me, the important thing is to say.....it is ok. Tomorrow you CAN do it. And then do it.

Honestly, I did awful until yesterday when I started my new group (btw, it is call Hot Mamas :D). So I am expecting to stay the same for weigh in tomorrow.

But....I am back on track now and totally motivated!

[Beffy]

:yay:

[KTbomb]

I just sent my weight to Sara. Down 1.2 for this week. I am so excited because I didn't really think I would have a loss. Yipeeeeee!

How is everyone else doing?

[SarainMN3]

:hoorah:

[SarainMN3]

I stayed exactly the same!

I'll take it over gaining!!!!

[Tamara]

OK, I will figure out what my scale says. But it will say somthing different than WW.

But I did give ya my scale weight. I gained a lot of weight last weekend. But I got it all off and then some. :woohoo:

[KTbomb]

:yay: Tamara!
I have two different weights, too. For Hot Mamas I weigh in on Wednesday nights & for SF I weigh in on Friday mornings.

[MKpinklady]

I lost 2 pounds! I think I need to try a little harder next week though. I only exercised one day this past week. :(

I'm gonna post some tips later about healthy eating. :D

[Beffy]

I still hafta go get on the scale :o

[SarainMN3]

you did great Kim-2 lbs is AWESOME!!! and to be safe, I don't think you would want to loose more than that in a week

[KTbomb]

Awesome loss, Kim! :yay:
