Week 4 results! HALFWAY HOME PEOPLE!!!!

Wow, I can't believe how close the #2 spot to the #8 spot is! Only .8% difference, it's going to be a battle to the finish I think. Then there's Angela, I have her address for those who want to send her pastries.

Angela: 7%

Jason R.: 5.9

Julie M.: 5.8

Linda: 5.7

Greg: 5.6

Julie R.: 5.6

Jason P.: 5.3

Dane: 5.1

Alex: 4.2

Sara: 4.1

Jenny: 3.7

Anna: 3.2

Wayne: 2.3

As usual, GOOD JOB everybody. Everybody is posting a loss so that should make you all happy. Even if there are some of us who will have to continue on after the contest we are off to a good start. I'm HOPING to only have 5 more to lost once we are done but we'll see.

Week #3 results.

Can you believe we have completed 3 whole weeks already, thank goodness. Although I have already had to commit to continue competing with my husband once our competition is complete as we both got excessively portly this past year. Enough of this, here are the results:

Angela: 6.0%

Jason R: 5.5

Linda: 4.9

Greg: 4.5

Julie M.: 4.5

Dane: 4.2

Sara: 3.8

Anna: 3.7

Julie R.: 3.4

Alex: 3.2

Jason P.: 3.2

Jenny: 2.8

Wayne: 1

The only one I'm missing is Lea's so I'll add it when/if I get it. Next week we'll be half way home!!! Can I hear a great big HALLELUJAH to that! Keep up the good work guys.

Week #2 results.

First of all, we've had at least one drop-out. Stacey has opted to quit so I'm not certain if that means her sister is not going to compete either but I'll let you know. That means we could be down to 14 participants which will change the money pay-out a bit. As of now I have 11 results so I'll go ahead and post those. Linda is always diligent about getting her total to me but one of her good friends passed away yesterday so I would imagine the B.L. isn't the first thing on her mind so I'm cutting her slack. I know she will get it to me but she can take her time. So, here are the ones I have:

Jason R.-5.5%

Angela- 5.1

Greg-4.5

Dane-4.2

Julie R.-4.0

Sara-3.8

Anna-3.7

Julie M.-3.6

Alex-3.0

Jenny-2.8

Wayne-2.4

I was feeling quite disheartened at my percentage but then looked back through the blog from the last 3 years and I am nearly at the identical spot on them all so I guess I'm a "slow and steady" girl. I'm good with that.

Anyway, I'll add the other totals when I get them. And once again, good job everybody!

It's that time again!

So here we are at week #2, please get your results to me today. Also, I am still waiting payment on a few people so please get that mailed to me as soon as possible. Thanks.

Week #1 results

I know I said I'd post these on Tuesday but I have a lot of the results now so will add the other three as I get them. Once again it looks like it's going to be the Jason's that we have to chase.

Jason R.- 5.2%

Jason P. - 4.3

Greg - 3.4

Anna - 3.2

Linda - 2.9

Julie R. - 2.9

Angela - 2.4

Sara - 2.3

Dane - 2.3

Julie M. - 2.1

Jenny - 1.9

Wayne - 1.3

Alex - 1.2

Lea - 0%

As soon as I get Stacey's and Darcy's results I'll add them in. GOOD JOB everybody, we're all off to a good start!!!

Today's the day.

Time for our first weigh-in, I'll accept percentages lost all day and will post the results in the morning. Also, remember to send your payment to me at: Julie Montgomery, 1303 Hamilton Ave., Yakima, WA. 98902. I know a few of you are handing off your payment to Sara, and that is fine being as I'll be seeing her in just a few days. For those of you who have already paid, thank you.

I hope you all did well this week, my start wasn't as good as last years but I tried just as hard so I'm happy with what I got and will continue to try and lose the same 20 lbs. I have to every year. NEXT year maybe I won't have to compete. Yeah, right. And next year I'll also be flying my Lear jet to my own private island in the Bahamas.

Ready, set, GO!!!!

So everybody, here we go again, another 8 week Biggest Loser competition. I vowed that I wouldn't have as much to lose this year when in reality I now have MORE so I am primed. Weigh-in is Monday, Jan. 2, which is tomorrow so I'll look forward to all your results in a week. Remember all, nobody ever has to divulge their weight (if I did, I would then have to kill you as I would insure you took that nasty total to the grave with you), just the percentage lost. Just divide your cumulative pounds lost by your beginning weight and then move the decimal point over a two places for your percentage. And I'm sure I don't have to remind any of you but since we may have one or two new placers I am reminding you that this is a diet/exercise program only, no diet pills, diet aids, supplements, stomach stapling or the likes. That makes for an even playing field for us all. It is also still a $20.00 buy in which I will be collecting. My address is: Julie Montgomery, 1303 Hamilton Ave., Yakima, Wa. 98902. If you send me a check I will hang on till the end of the 8 weeks and if you happen to be one of the happy winners I'll just tear up your check and send you the rest of what you won. One more thing too, PLEASE don't make me harp on you for your payment, it makes it awkward for us all (and Linda, you already paid me :)). As of today, Jan. 1, we have 13 contestants but I think 2 more will be on board as well so we'll be able to pay out to 4 places again if everybody is in agreement to that. It makes for an easy 40-30-20-10 split. Our contestants as of today are Jenny and Dane B., Greg and Sara J., Linda M., Lea K., Angela B., Alex and Anna F., Jason P., Stacey E., and Wayne and Julie M. Good luck to all and I hope to kick all your butts.
