FINAL WEIGH IN - MONDAY

Challenge Participants!

The end is almost here! :)
*Monday morning* everyone will need to weigh in
and report their percentage of weight lost along with points for the
previous week. *Remember to weigh in on the same scale of your first
weigh in...wearing the same thing you wore then*
. If you have missed
reporting points for previous weeks, you will need to report them asap.

For anyone that isn't sure about how to calculate the percentage, here is
what you will need to do.

1. Calculate how many lbs you lost.

2. Take the lbs you lost and divide them by your starting weight. Then
just move the decimal 2 spaces to the right to give you your percentage of
weight lost.

---------------------

Here's an example:

Starting weight: 205

Lbs lost: 22

22 lbs divided by 205 lbs = .1073 or 10.73%

--------------------

Another example:


Starting weight: 187.5
Lbs lost: 28

28 lbs divided by 187.5 lbs = .1493 or 14.93%

---------------------

If you are unsure about calculating your percentage, let me know, I would
be glad to help.

**The deadline to have your percentage of weight lost and weekly points turned in will be Tuesday @ noon.
If I don't get your points and percentage lost by then, I will need to assume that you have dropped out. So get your points in!**

I want to congratulate everyone that participated in this challenge. So
many of you put your heart and soul into it and it's paid off. Regardless
of who actually wins, we should all feel good about making progress and
doing things that will help us to be healthier. :)

Don't forget to weigh in MONDAY morning!

Good luck! :)

Week #7 Points

We are now entering the FINAL WEEK of the challenge! :) Woo Hoo! It's been a long 7 weeks but I hope you've all noticed some great changes. I know this challenge has been so good for me. I have more energy, I feel happier and I've been able to drop a few pounds.

I wish you all the best of luck (though I guess I should be saying that I wish you the best of your efforts) during this last week. Stay strong. You can do this.

Even though the challenge is almost over, I hope that these weeks have taught you some things about what eating healthy and exercise can do and that you will want to continue these habits. :)

On MONDAY, OCTOBER 17th we will have our final weigh in. Please watch for an email later this week giving you instructions for calculating this and reporting your points.

Please leave your Week #7 Points either as a comment below or send them to me by email: Evansfamily2007@hotmail.com

Keep up the good work!
