LET THE GAMES BEGIN!! Posted by Yvonne on 3/23/2008, 10:31 am 68.197.232.X Pam contacted me and promised that she would put the rules up before the end of today (this weekend). If she gets too busy and doesn't have time to post the rules, in order to get started, please e-mail her with your present weight AND your goal weight (using her e-mail address for privacy) before midnight tonight (March 23rd). I am sure she will post the rules because she promised me. The CHALLENGE will be from today, Sunday, March 23rd until Saturday, April 19th. The winner of GROUP ONE (whoever loses the most weight) will be given the cash prize of $300. YEP!! THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS (That should be a good incentive) GROUP TWO: the person who reaches his/her goal weight in the next month. The winner losing the most weight to get to their goal will receive $100 (ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS) GROUP THREE: The person who is in maintenance and has the least amount of variance in weight for the entire month will win $100.00 (ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS) I just received my tax refund and I think this is a good way to give back to the Board for all of its support. As always, this Board has been on an honor code and we will continue to have that as our guide regarding the amount of weight one loses. If Pam has not posted the rules by tonight, just make a note of your weight today and send it to her when she posts the rules. If I should lose the most weight (AND I PLAN TO DO JUST THAT), I've decided to excuse myself and the next person will receive the cash prize of $300. (It seemed kind of chintzy to get my own money back. Anyway, I intend to lose the most weight, folks. I am on a MISSION---my dance showcase awaits. See if you can beat me!! Start your engines!!!

Yvonne Posted by Carol on 3/24/2008, 8:18 am, in reply to "LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!" 168.213.1.X Interesting note......the challenge begins on Easter Sunday and ends on the first night of Passover. Both holidays have the similarities in that there are eggs as symbolism. For Easter the egg represents rebirth and life and for Passover~The egg is placed on the Seder plate and is a symbol of sacrifice and loss. Yet to most Jews, it also symbolizes the full cycle of life, and therefore hope and rebirth. So this journey for me will be a spiritual one!!!  Post a Response

God Bless, Carol! Posted by Yvonne on 3/24/2008, 7:07 pm, in reply to "Yvonne" 68.197.232.X I didn't know that. But, see, I knew that we had the BIG ONE on our side for this Challenge. Day #3 coming up!!  Post a Response

Good Luck Everyone!! Posted by Ann in England on 3/23/2008, 1:28 pm, in reply to "LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!" 86.129.21.X Now that is incentive for you all! Good luck and get shaking!!  Post a Response

Just a question Posted by Nonie on 3/23/2008, 11:02 am, in reply to "LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!" 72.36.16.X I was telling my husband about the contest. He asked if it was who lost the most weight or the largest body weight percentage. I hadn't thought about the percentage thing. (I am not good at math) But it does make sense. What are all your thoughts on this? It really doesn't matter to me,,,seeing how I am determined to win for SOME NEW CLOTHES! (Yvonne,,,,would you want to fly in to Billings Montana and go shopping with me??  Post a Response

Re: Just a question Posted by Yvonne on 3/23/2008, 11:43 am, in reply to " Just a question" 68.197.232.X Hi, Nonie: I understand your husband's logic. However, I think the actual weight loss number is more of an incentive than percentage of weight when you are using Cambridge. I may not be as fair, but I am into actual numbers. Billings Montana sounds good. I just need to lose some weight to get into my OLD clothes. Good luck! I hope your husband is going to be a help and not a hindrance. My husband LOVES to sabotage my weight loss, so I am going to be very careful of him during this month of total focus. Good luck, Nonie!!  Post a Response

husband Posted by Nonie on 3/23/2008, 11:48 am, in reply to "Re: Just a question" 72.36.16.X Oh,,let me just say that I have given my husband some incentive if he helps me keep on this!!! Numbers are fine with me. I average 17,000 steps a day at work so I figure if I am just taking in 330 to 440 calories a day,,,something has got to give!  Post a Response

Re: husband Posted by Yvonne on 3/23/2008, 11:53 am, in reply to "husband" 68.197.232.X the 17,0000 steps sure does help, but I intend to walk a couple of miles a day and use my stationary bike each morning. I hope to burn more calories than you do in order to win the most weight loss. However, it is not what we know we should do but actually doing it. That's my problem, but I am hell-bent on getting some traction this time. Watch out, Nonie, I am taking no prisoners.  Post a Response

taking of prisoners Posted by Nonie on 3/23/2008, 1:41 pm, in reply to "Re: husband" 72.36.16.X Well Yvonne, if you become a prisoner,,,,I will send you bread and water,,,,or would you prefer Cambridge?  Post a Response

Re: taking of prisoners Posted by Yvonne on 3/23/2008, 3:55 pm, in reply to "taking of prisoners" 68.197.232.X Cambridge, please!! However, I plan to be on the OTHER side of the jail bars.  Post a Response

WOW!!! Posted by Nonie on 3/23/2008, 10:52 am, in reply to "LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!" 72.36.16.X Boy oh boy,,,,Yvonne. Talk about incentive to win!!! I have never had that kind of money to spend on some new clothes for myself. WHEN I win that is what it is going for. I told Pam my goal weight. (just in case I could win both That way Pam will know if I make it. I am also having someone take a picture of me today, head and body (oh my,,,I can't believe I just committed to that)shot. BUT I have asked her not to post them till the contest is over! Thank you for being so generous!!  Post a Response
