BRIEFLY recap your previous week in a post on this blog 3. updating your point total in your picture caption BEFORE midnight on Sunday of each week. Our weeks begin each Monday morning. ADD these 3 points in with the "just started week's points

At the end of the challenge you will also have a chance to win additional points for % of weight lost. You can win 1 point for each % of weight lost, IE: loosing 10% of your weight equals 10 extra points! These points will be taken once, at the end of the 12 week challenge.

This challenge will last 12 weeks, starting


TO POST: In the upper right hand corner you will see "New Post" click on it. If you are like me it may take you a second to find it but I promise it is there!!! You will be brought to a screen were you can enter a title for your post on the dash board at the top of the screen. Please put your name and the week the post is for. You can then add your entry for the week whether good or ill we want to hear it! That's how this works in a group competition. We are all here to cheer you on!!! When you are satisfied with the content go ahead and hit publish!

HOW TO POST YOUR PHOTO AND YOUR WEEKLY POINTS:

In the upper right hand corner, next to "new post" you will also see "DESIGN." If you click on that it will take you to "bones" of the blog. On the left hand side you will see a menu under "new post." click on "LAYOUT." It will take you to the actual layout of the blog. In the left hand column you will see a place to click on "add a Gadget" It will then pull up another menu. Scroll down to Image and click on the (+) sign. You can there down down load your photo. Your name will be the title and your weekly point total will be the caption. . . .as I go back and re read this it all sounds very confusing. If you need help just let me know and I will be more than happy to assist you!!!

*****Once your pic is up all you will need to do weekly to update your points is, click on the tool/wrench in the lower right hand corner of your pic. You can then put in your new point total for the week in the caption area.

This site will stay public until everyone who wants to join lets me know and gets me their email address and cell #. After that I will make this site private for our challenge group.

FIRST PLACE WINNER: Gets 60% of the cash

SECOND PLACE WINNER: Gets 30% of the cash

THIRD PLACE WINNER: Gets 10% of the cash

In the case of a tie the winner will be determined by % of weight lost over the 12 week period. So, don't forget to note your initial weight so we can figure it out at the end of the challenge in December

Jody S Intro

I am a happy wife to my best friend for almost 30 years, mom to 3 girls (31, 28, 26). Grandma to 4
wonderful grandchildren. I work full-time as an Administrative Assistant. I am very active and busy in my church. I love to bum with my husband whom I call Daddy and one of our favorite things to do together is run.

I just had my 30 year class reunion which I didn't go to. Reason ONE: I didn't feel "skinny" enough. Which I later found out wouldn't have really mattered.

I would really like to stay in shape (not round) but I have injuries whenever I turn around. I someday, somehow will find an activity that I enjoy that won't hurt. I am allergic to water and sharks so swimming is out. (Unfortunately for Daddy, so are cruises and snorkeling).

Going to the gym at O'dark thirty has been on the back burner for awhile. I will strive to make it there with Dawn or getting some racquetball in or run with Daddy.

My FOOD PLAN:
Hi, my name is Jody and I am addicted to CANDY!!!! This will be a HUGE challenge for me to cut back on the sweets. I don't drink much soda so I don't worry about that. I have learned over the years to like water. However it needs to be in my hospital mug with ice. I can guzzle two to three of those a day. When the cold weather hits I slack off on this. I don't like seafood so I need to find my healthy eating with other stuffs.
My goal is to eat a balanced diet, keep my water intake up, no seconds for me. This is my BIG downfall. I keep eating even when I know I should be full but don't FEEL full...yet. I then suffer later. I also will use myfitnesspal for tracking food. I can't say my goal is to lose weight or I would set myself up to fail. I will instead be more "portion control" conscious and make sure I get more fruits and vegetables in each day. I have a couple of business trips coming up and I am going to strive REALLY hard to keep with my food plan.
