9 Contestants So Far!

 I have had nine people email me their weights so far.  I am very excited for you all!  You will do great!

I was laying in bed tonight, thinking about this contest.  If any of you would like me to configure how many calories you should be ruffly eating in a day, please email me FRIDAY with your next weigh in.  (I am on vacation and can't get to it till next Sunday or Monday.)

I can estimate your daily caloric consumption you should be eating ruffly everyday to loose weight.  I like to base it off of your goal weight.  Now, this won't be exact because we will not be able to calculate your BMI or BMR.  But we can figure a rough number.  You will probably see that you will drop fast but the closer you get to your goal weight, it will become slightly harder to loose the weight as fast.  However, it will come off.  Then, it will be a great maintenance caloric intake for you to try and live by for the rest of your lives.

If you would like some base, rough numbers please email me with your FRIDAY'S weigh in.  What I will need is: your GOAL weight, your height, and how many calories you think you are expending daily in exercise.  [You can estimate around 100 calories per mile you walk, jog, or run.  Again, that's not taking into account your BMI or BMR.  It's just a rough number for the average person.  For example: say you are walking 2 miles a day then you would email me a figure of 200 calories expended in exercise.(2miles x 100 calories =200)]

Also, if there are others who want to sign up, please have them email me.  I am really excited for you all.  I know it feels like a big undertaking but you all can do it!  Take your before and after pictures so you can see your accomplishments.  It won't seem like a big deal until you see those last final pictures.  You will be amazed, if you loose the weight!

Here's a cheesy saying me and my husband say: "An apple a day is a great treat to keep the calories away!"
(I know it's corny but life needs a good laugh every now and again, right?)
