Sorry for the late update... We've added wind storm to our many crazy weather events lately and I was a bit distracted today. JS is still maintaining a good lead and the rest of the board was a little shuffled around. Let's all kick it in to high gear this last 3 weeks!!! Good work!!!

NG: 4.25%
Alex: 4%
Mama J.: 3.8%

We've made it through the first half of the challenge! Congratulations for making it this far! JS has pulled out to a substancial lead. WAY TO GO!!!! And, I am equally proud of Mama J, BG, NS, and myself for doing well despite being without power for a week. There was no point counting going on with BG and I. We had McDonald's, Papa Johns... you name it!

Mama Drama: 4.70%
NG: 4.01%

ICING.... and I don't mean the good kind...










Unfortunately, Weight-Loss Wednesday is having to be postponed due to um.... well ICE. Most of us here in the Ohio Valley do not have power. BG and I (NG) are at some friends' house and waiting for for our power to come back on which may take a few days.
Another big bummer is all our competitors will have a major advantage on us and we've been eating pretty rotten. Pizza... grilled cheese... popcorn... McDonald's.... we're in grease heaven over here. We're not pigging out though and we're trying to keep it at a minimum.
So, please say a prayer for our safety and that we all get power back soon. We'll keep you posted!

For our first "Weight-Loss Wednesday" we are introducing our readers to the team including photos, goals, and some basic information.


Alex Before:

I have gained a startling amount of weight in just over a year. A few years ago, I lost a lot of weight on atkins, but at the top of 2008 I tried weight watchers. Bless all of you, i know some peopleswear by it but it discouraged me and i quit. So, i'm back on induction and doing it right, no caffeine, noaspartame, no alcohol. BUT, I just noticed some dumb fiber supplement I was taking had extra non -fiber carbs!!! I'm cutting those out as of today, wed jan 14th. Very annoyed. I'm looking forward to getting my butt in gear. I don't have much in the way of exercise so i need to really get my butt in gear there, but i do do the wii fit and i love the hula hooping! i'm up to 6 minutes and about to try the 10. I feel a side cramp coming on.


NS Before:


This is NS. She's a really cool chick who's capable of blowing away the competition in this weight-loss challenge. NS is choosing to do a low-carb diet to get her weight off. Like the rest of us, she's most excited about getting healthy!



JS Before:

This is JS. He's hilarious and a force to be reckoned with in this competition. JS is also on a low-carb diet and knows several tricks and recipes to get through the tough first weeks.


Mama J Before:

Hey, I'm Mama J. I'm hoping to loose 11.33 % of my body weight for this challenge. I had put back on 14 pounds since the last time we had a weight-loss challenge (that I won, by the way), so I'm thankful to nip this in the bud for my health.....and the money wouldn't hurt.


Mama Drama Before:

I'm excited to really begin a weightloss regime after months of whining and complaining! I want to lose 10% of my body weight by the end of the challenge, and 12% by April 14th, my daughter's birthday, so I can be at my nice pre-pregnancy weight. (Finally!) Hopefully the only drama this mama will have will be the pounds melting off quickly and easily. (Yeah...right!)


NG Before:

I am NG and administrator of this here weight-loss blog. My goal for this first challenge (ending March 4th) is to drop 12.83 % of my body weight. If I do that I will feel like a million bucks! My second goal is to be MUCH healthier and fit for our Walt Disney World trip in May!



BG Before:

I am BG, and I am fat. My goal is to lose as least 10% of my weight by March 4th. Of course, I want to win this contest, but more importantly I want to lose weight and feel better. I have done many diets….Atkins, South Beach and Weight Watchers, so I know I can do it if I put my mind to it. My ultimate goal is to lose about 50 lbs by this time next year!


I am still waiting on the rest of the crew to send me their pics, goals, and info. So check back for updates to this post!
