MAY 2 to JULY 4 Challenge -------- 9th and final WEIGH IN July 4th -------- COME JOIN -------- !!!OPEN!!!!

Okay time for a new challenge, maybe one that does not close.  Have you noticed how hard it is to find a challenge that isn’t closed.

There will be a winner every week that will be determined by percentage of weight loss.  And the winner gets the admiration of all the fellow competitors.  It's difficult to figure out much of a prize.  There will also be a final winner for best percentage by July 4th whether you join now or later.  Who knows you could be a part of this challenge for only a few weeks and have the best percentage.

Weigh-ins are on Friday, but I will accept weights as late as Sunday.  Starting next week you will need to have your weight in by Sunday evening to qualify for the awesome prizes.  I will still accept your weigh-ins after Sunday, but I will not change the winners.

!!!IMPORTANT!!!

Please do not edit your previous post each week, with so many participants it is difficult to go back and find everyone.  Go ahead and post a new message or email me with your updates.  Also feel free to post more then just your stats.  Use this space to encourage others and ask questions you may have.

If you would like to join let me know these few things:
