Welcome to the Endes Chicks Family Challenge

Please consider joining our weight loss challenge! Many of us have expressed a desire to lose weight in the past and have even tried losing weight with varying levels of success. Research has shown that people have better success losing weight when they have a support system. This blog will be our support system.

We will be able to share personal triumphs and setbacks, post interesting and informative articles about nutrition and fitness and most importantly support each other in our journeys of healthy eating and fitness.

You were invited to this challenge because you meet the following criteria. You:
  • are an Endres Chick
  • used to be an Endres Chick
  • will be an Endres Chick
  • your mother was an Endres Chick
  • you know an Endres Chick.

The challenge is this:

  • Initial challenge will run from August 1 to December 1
  • You choose your eating and fitness plans - please feel free to post things you've done and had success with. You will be able to post links to other websites that have interesting and informative info.
  • Each week you will report the amount of weight lost and the percentage of weight lost
  • Person who has the largest percentage of weight loss each week wins 5 points
  • Second place wins 3 points
  • On December 1 the person with the most points wins
  • Prize is yet to be determined - suggestion is that we plan a shopping trip to Chicago and the winner gets her way paid (hotel, meals, etc).

If you are interested in joining the challenge, please respond to this post. I will provide tools for calculating percentage of weight loss and I'll keep track of the challenge leaders. Please share any suggestions you have for this blog - and feel free to post anytime!

I believe we can make this work with the power of "Endres Chicks"!
