Hi guys!

This has been a pretty quiet Project Skinny, but congrats to everyone nonetheless! Susan, great job on the workouts!

Let's all do a big push this last month! I'm aiming to lose at least a pound!! (Just need to stop eating....argh)

Project Skinny Part 8

Project Skinny Part 8

The Plan:

Each week, we will be tracking how many times we work out and how many pounds we have lost.
One workout must be at least 30 minutes. (Walking counts if it's 45 minutes). Please be as honest as you can on the 30 minute workouts. For example, please don't walk for 25 minutes and jog for 5 minutes, then count it as the same workout as someone who ran for 30 minutes straight. As long as you have a clear conscience that you had a good 30 minute work out, then it's okay. We trust your judgment!

If you work out more than once during the day, it must be a different session to count.(Meaning, working out for an hour does not count as 2 workouts). Maximum of 2 workouts per day will count. (But if you want to work out more,then good for you!)

Starting weigh-in will be Friday, May 1st. Workouts will begin Saturday, May 2nd. The week ending cycles go from Saturday to Friday.

This will be a THREE MONTH long competition. Final weigh-in will be Friday, July 31st. Please try update by August 14th or else all updates will be considered final.

If you do not update after two weeks, the week in question will be considered void. For example, if you forget to update for the week ending 5/9, then by 5/22, all workouts for the week ending 5/9 will be zero. (This prevents those non-updaters from surprising everyone with a come from behind lead!) Cheats and weight loss will still count regardless if they're updated on time.

The Bet:

Project Skinny buy-in is $10/person.

The person who works out the most wins 37.5%, and second place wins 12.5%.
The person who loses the most percentage of their original weight wins 37.5%, and second place wins 12.5%.

The split is 50%/50% between the two pots, then 75% to 1st place and 25% to 2nd place.

(To calculate % weight loss, take the number of pounds lost divided by your original weight.)

The total pot will increase because of the cheats. (Thus, if everyone cheats a lot, you could win some major spending money!)

The Food Challenge:
 
Every cheat will cost a quarter.

The Cheat Foods:
 
  Janet: inappropriate snacking, portion control 
 
Judy:
fried food, baked goods
  Lynn: fried foods, chips

  Melinda:
 
Stephanie:
deep fried foods and desserts
  Susan: portion control, snacking after dinner

I totally agree with you Stephanie! Over the next 12 weekends, I have 4 bday parties (all different weeks), 3 bachelorette parties, 2 weddings and a trip to Vegas. Yikes!! It's those 2 weddings I'm worried about. Must lose weight this round! No one wants to be the chunky bridesmaid who looks chubby in all the pictures. Watch out everyone - super motivated this time!!

Haha, empty threat, I say that every time. :(

Well, good luck everyone!! It's a small competition, but let's make this a good one!!

Btw, what do you think of splitting the prizes between 1st and 2nd? It's kinda small so the payout will be really little. 2nd place might just get their money back. Is that okay with everyone? At least it's some motivation to keep going?

Ugh

Even though my May is going to be super busy (but FUN!), it's not going to be a good diet month...

This is how many parties I have going:

1. Early Mother's Day/My bday with my fam
2. Birthday thing with boyfriend's fam
3. Mother's Day with boyfriend's fam
4. Boyfriend's Grandma's rehearsal dinner
5. Boyfriend's Grandma's wedding
6. Boyfriend's friend's graduation
7. Possibly bday party with friends?

OH GOSH :(
