We’re back on the right track; we had a few people who gained this week but still managed to lose 6 lbs as a group. Great job everyone! Keep up on the exercising and the weight will follow.

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

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!

Week 7 Update

Sorry for the delay in this posting, there were a few people out of town Memorial Day weekend and even some the entire week following.

Week 7 Results:
Jan – 6
Tommy – 6
Krissy – 5
Jon – 5
Rolf – 5
Heidi – 5
Laura – 5

Mary – 4
Dan – 4
Jenny – 3 (owe $.50)

Sidebar – Tommy had a pretty severe knee injury last week and will no longer be able to participate in the weight08 program. It is uncertain the severity of the injury but at first glance it appears he has torn his ACL. Regardless, he will be unable to exercise, which doesn’t bode well for the points portion of this competition.

Week 6 update

Another 10 pounds down as a group! As long as we continue to average 10 pounds per week we'll hit the 120 lb mark as a group - that's a whole nother person!

Since we're sitting at the half way point, here are a few more stats to let you know where you're stacking up:

And the one list you don't want to see your name on top of; $'s owed from weekly points:

Keep in mind, this is only the half way point and it's still anyone’s game. Last time around this is about the point where everyone started slowing down but I'm guessing that will not be the case this time as we are coming into the summer and swimsuit season. :) Keep up the great work and remember: putting in less than you burn = weightloss.
