The Percentage Formula

Just wanted to put this on the blog in case anyone needed it! I'll post the percentages once I have them all!

Percentage Formula:  total weight loss divided by starting weight = answer x 100 = percentage

Just making sure

Okay, so if you received this update as an email in your inbox, please let me know by sending me an email or writing a comment on the blog. I just want to make sure that everyone will be getting the updates I put on the blog--it's just a bit easier than emailing everyone AND putting it on the blog. Thanks everybody!

Here is our updated list so far! If you know anyone else that would care to join, send them my way!

Mary B.--TX
Merrilee M.--GA

Kristi W.--MI
Susan J.--MI
Suzan H.--UT

I hope everyone has a great week!

Weigh in #1

Alright everybody, this is it! Monday is the first weigh-in. Make sure to weigh in at around the same time each Monday and keep this number to use for your percentage each week following. Here is the list of participants so far:

Suzan H.--UT
Gary H.--UT
Mary B.--TX
Susan J.--MI
Merrilee M.--GA
Ginny T.--UT
Kristi W.--MI

We may have a few more joining us this week. If I remember correctly through my ups and downs of weight loss, the first week is pretty hard because it is such a change, but it is the most rewarding because it's usually the week you lose the most weight. So, whatever your plan is, good luck and here's to a happier, healthier us!
 By the way, I'm going to workout tomorrow night, anyone want to "join" me?:)

Welcome! I hope we can all motivate each other on our way to being just a little bit healthier! Our first weigh-in will be Monday, September 17th. Remember to weigh yourself at about the same time each week. Be sure to get your money in by the 24th of September if you want to participate--send it to 13342 S. Madeline Ln., Herriman, UT 84096. Good luck everybody!!!!

Helpful Tips and the Ranking

I did some searching online for some tips on how to lose weight because who wouldn't want a little extra help and advice, right? So, after a lot of work on my part (I think I may have lost weight doing this) here are the ten latest diets. Feel free to take a look and see if one will work for you!:) The ranking is below!

1. The Internet Diet. You lose weight because you're so addicted to being online, you don't eat for days at a time.

2. The Fantasy Diet. You eat a Collard Wrap while fantasizing you're really eating Death by Chocolate.

3. The Play With Your Food Diet. You're so busy making a castle out of your mashed potatoes, you forget to eat them.

4. The Food Chess Diet. You and a friend play chess using food tidbits as chess pieces. You are only allowed to eat when you capture your friend's players. You lose the game and you lose weight.

5. The Rolling Table Diet. You sit on a chair on wheels, trying to eat at a table on wheels. The motorized floor under your table is constantly shifting, so you don't get to eat much, and thus lose weight. (This is similar to The Seasick Diet, but takes place in your own land-lubbing home.)

6. The Fisherman's Diet. A fisherman holds a pole whose end is attached to a morsel of food in your mouth. Every time you try to bite down on the food, the fisherman pulls the food away.

7. The Puffed Food Diet. All your favorite foods are re-made in the style of puffed wheat or puffed rice. Your Cheese Ravioli is now mostly air, so you don't gain any weight.

8. The Mock Puffed Food Diet. In this diet, all the foods you like to eat are made of styrofoam, to resemble the Puffed Food Diet. Now you can't eat the food at all. (You try to, and spit it out.) You really lose weight.

9. The Edible Flowers Diet. You are only allowed to eat edible flowers. You get bored with them and eat nothing, thus lose weight.

10. The Love Diet. You munch playfully on your sweetheart's hand. You gain no calories; you lose weight. Your sweetheart loses interest in you because s/he preferred you with love handles.
