It is ON!!

Ok.   Whether you responded to this in Facebook or on blogger, I am assuming you are in. I think we should start this Saturday. That will give us 7 other Saturdays until we go to Redfish. I've been doing some research and will try and post some Water-skiing prep workouts or other tips etc as we go. I don't really care if you put in $ or not. I'm going to find something awesome for the winner (I'm thinking a new neoprene lifejacket... any other suggestions?).  If you don't have blogger you can always message me your % in facebook or email (ludlow.rachel@gmail.com) and I will put them up for you.   Remember we are going off %  of lbs lost. You don't have to have a nice scale, just the same scale week to week. It helps to do the same day and time for weigh in (same clothes/naked if you can as well) but this doesn't always happen.

To calculate your %, take weight at beginning of week 1 (lbs1) and subtract your weight at the beginning of week 2 (lbs2). Take the difference (diff) and divide by the first week's weight (lbs1). Mathmatically it should look like this:

 lbs1-lsb2=diff, 

 diff / lbs1= % lost! 

 And feel free to post whatever works, we all know Jen will be on the Watermellon Fat Flush, Mommer will be eating away the pounds of carrots, and I like to down squash and zuchinni... but find what works for you and post some!! Love you all!

PRE-WEEK CHALLENGE:

FOOD DIARY. Most people have little to no idea of how much (or little) they are eating. Even if you don't keep track of calories or any nutritional information, try keeping a food journal for a week. You will be suprised how much knowing you will have to write it down will keep you from eating!
