SCHMOOZE & LOSE II - FINISHED Sept 5

Need extra help and support? Join me in the battle to lose those pounds! No goal weights for this group…just a determination to lose.Post your weigh-in on THURSDAY, FRIDAY or SATURDAY!!!YOU CHOOSE!!

GET INVOLVED!!!  Each Sunday we will be presenting a mini-challenge for all participants to take part in. You might have to post your favorite snack under 100 calories or tell everyone the nicest compliment you have recieved so far.  Message me with your ideas and recieve honorable mention as the week's BIGGEST SCHMOOZER!

This group is all about keeping that postitive attitude throughout your journey. It doesn't matter if you are just starting out or are maintaining, everyone needs someone to lean on now and then. So SCHMOOZE & LOSE with your friends and stay motivated!

WHAT TO EXPECT (GUIDELINES):

1. This is a 10 week motivational group. If you feel you cannot endure the full 10 weeks, message me and let me know I don't hound you.
2. You must post a Start and Finish weight. If you're not up to posting your weight on certain weeks, that's fine. This is all about staying motivated. 
3. Mini-challenges will be posted on Sunday. We hope that everyone will take part, but if you don't, there is no pressure. We're here to support you on this journey.
4. Feel free to use this group as a place to express yourself -  fears, frustrations, worries, goals, triumphs, successes. We are here to support and motivate one another, whether you're doing great or stuggling.

So, I didn't lose too many inches on this 10 week journey, though I did lose 14 pounds. (Maybe it was all in my hands and feet.) I still have about 40 pounds to lose, but I feel more and more fabulous every day.

I'm away until tomorrow nite, but will update our final losses then! see you all at Schmooze and Lose 3!!!

Well Schmoozers, of the original 90 sign-ups only 18 weighed in after 10 weeks. Kind of a bit of a let down considering this is supposed to be about motivation...but we've got lots of new faces in S&L III, so maybe it will be more successful.

We've lost a grand total of 322.15lbs.

The 18 who endured the full ten weeks lost a combined total of 160.45 lbs! VERY IMPRESSIVE!

Good luck to everyone in the future!
