Week 8 Update

Memorial Day is a Federal holiday intended to commemorate U.S. men and women who have perished while serving their country. To this weight08 group it appears to be a week/weekend of non-stop eating. The exercise points are on the rise; however, we have gained 20 lbs as a group over the last two weeks.

Congratulations to the few who have managed to actually lose a pound or two during this time.

All we need to do is lose 20 lbs a week as a group and we’ll still hit that 120 lb total. O.K…. maybe we should shoot for 80 lbs. We are currently sitting at 40lbs lost after going back 20.


Week 8 Results:
Laura – 7
Krissy – 6
Jenny – 5
Mary – 5
Rolf – 5
Dan – 5
Heidi – 4
Nancy – 4
Erin – 4
Jan – 3 (owes $.50)
Melissa – 3 (owes $.50)
Mark – 2 (owes ($2.00)
Jon – 1 (owes $3.00)

Due to the recent weight gain, we have a great opportunity to lose some serious weight this week. Good luck to everyone! Now get out there, enjoy the sun, and try not to eat all those tasty summer treats!

I don't know about all the eating for Memorial Day weekend, but I know a few of us had a few drinks to toast Melissa's med school graduation! Those liquid calories really add up! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Sorry to hear we lost a competitor to injury! Get well soon Tommy! I'm finding that competition is a good thing for me :) Come back soon! Laura

I don't think Jon mentioned that Tommmy has dropped out due to the fact that he blew out his knee playing football with his high school students. Hmmmm... getting old? He tore his ACL and MCL, damaged his miniscus, and slightly fractured his femur on the bottom tip. YUCK!!!
