The Challenge is ON! Good Luck

August 1 has arrived and it's time to get serious about the challenge.

We will determine our progress by recording percentage of weight loss. Here's how it will work:

1. Weigh yourself today (you don't need to send me your starting weight - we will use only percentage of weight loss so no one has to disclose their actual weight).
2. Weigh yourself next Saturday
3. Divide the number of pounds lost by your weight "last week" and multiply by 100
   example: last week = 175 this week = 173 pounds lost = 2
   2/175 = .011 .011 x 100 = 1.1%
4. Send me an e-mail with your percentage of weight loss by 6 pm next Saturday and I will compile the results and post them to the blog.
5. The winner will get 5 points and the second place person will get 3 points.
6. The person with the most points on December 1 wins!
7. Prize will determined later by everyone in the challenge.

Please let me know if you need help navigating the blog. I will add all of you to the list of people who can post to the blog. Please use the blog to share your ideas and feelings. The whole point of using the blog is so that we can support each other.

Good Luck!!!!
