WELCOME & GOOD LUCK !

Hello everyone!  Welcome! I am excited to help keep your results over the next few months.  I am sure Ellen told you all that we did this competition with a group of friends in our neighborhood and it went really well. My husband actually won!  He lost 39 pounds within a three month period. As a group, we lost a total of 168 pounds.

I was the official track keeper for our friends and I am very excited to do it again for all of you! I actually have a passion for health promotion and I am going back to school to finish my degree at Weber State. I love this stuff and I love to watch people succeed!

The game plan is as follows: every FRIDAY you will need to email me your weight. It is best to weigh in first thing in the morning (without clothes). Once I have received everyone's weight, I will then post it on this blog site. I will have it posted by the following Saturday morning. The only thing I will show is your name, the number of pounds you lost, and your percentage of weight loss.

This is an example of what will be shown.....

(This was our final Results)

Most likely, there will be a different winner every week. Once a month, the last Saturday of the month, I will post the overall scores and who is taking the lead of the Holt Elementary Biggest Loser Competition!

Your first weigh in starts this Friday, November 5, 2010 and you will end Friday, December 31, 2010. The winner will be announced January 1, 2011. Please make sure you get your $25.00 into the secretary or Ellen.

One thing our group wished we would have done is take a before and an after picture.  Those of you who would like to take the pictures, please email them to me with your LAST weigh in and I will post them with the FINAL results. (I think it's a great way to see your accomplishment.)

If you have any questions, please email me at: jen.healthpromo@gmail.com. Also, please send your weekly weigh in to the same email address!

Thank you and let the weight shed begin!  GOOD LUCK!
