We're not quite done yet. On October 20th, we will have one last weigh-in. There will be a $100 drawing for everyone that has maintained their weight. Anyone that has stayed within 2 pounds of this week's weight (plus or minus) will put their name in the drawing. For every pound lost, they will put another name in. If you lost 5 pounds, you will put your name in 6 times.

If you can't make it to the weigh-in that day, let me know in advance and we will work out another time for you to come weigh before the drawing. 

Thank you again for playing, everyone! It was such a great experience!!!

p.s. If you think you'd like to join another competition, let me know! Some people have already expressed interest and if I get enough people, I'll start another one!

This week is the week to pull out all the stops: put your guilty pleasures on hold, exercise twice a day, add an extra mile to your walk. Do what you need to do to give yourself an extra edge on the weight loss this week. Be especially careful tomorrow at your Labor Day picnic! Don’t go overboard on your eating and maybe go for a bike ride instead of having a piece of dessert. We are so close to the end; this is not the time to blow it! J I know you can do it!!

This Saturday, I am going to present the winners with their prizes at 10:30 am SHARP! If you’re coming to my house to weigh in, please show up between 10:00 and 10:20. If you’re an outta-towner, I need you to send me your weight no later than 10:20. To be fair to everyone in the competition, you must wear the exact same outfit you wore at the first weigh-in. If you wore shoes to weigh, they must be worn at this weigh-in as well. Also, again to be fair to everyone else, YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO GET YOUR PRIZES (unless alternative arrangements have been made prior to Saturday morning)! Obviously, this only applies to the local competitors. Outta-towners, this is why I must have your weight in by 10:20. IF YOU CANNOT BE HERE BETWEEN 10:00 & 10:30, let me know and we can work out a time Friday night or earlier Saturday morning for you to weigh in. Once the first prize* has been handed out, no more weights will be taken.

*the first prize handed out will be to the person in 12^th place and then we’ll work our way up to the person in first place.

Here’s a rundown of all the prizes that will be handed out:

Participation- $50 (drawing from the names of everyone that missed less than two weigh-ins)

Exercise- $25 (drawing from the names of everyone that exercised at least 5x each week)

1^st place- $500

2^nd place- $375

3^rd place- $250

4^th- $100

5^th- $75

6^th through 12^th- $50 each

Remember the first week when I had you write down what you’d be spending your winnings on? Keep those things in your mind all week to give you the motivation to push yourself! We’re so close! WE. CAN. DO. IT!!!
