    Default December Weight Loss Challenge

    December Weight Loss Challenge

    December 2014 Weight Loss Adventure with Prize!!
    On December 1st, weigh yourself and write it down. DO NOT send it to me. On December 31st, weigh yourself again and PM your loss. This is weight lost not percentage lost. I will announce the winner on December 3rd.

    The prize is a themed FQ from each member. Once a winner is declared, I will contact the winner and FQ's will be mailed by the 6th.

    Private message (PM) me for the mailing address. All FQ's should be mailed by the 15th of the month. You need to check in on the thread at least once a week to be eligible for the winning "skinny quarters aka FQ's" and to be declared the "biggest loser" for the month.

    You cannot win 2 months in a row.

    Chit Chat is allowed, as wells as WAYWO (what are you working on). Please stay positive and uplifting as possible to keeps us all on track. Share tips, recipes, encouraging words and {{{HUGS}}}
    IN December we have many challenges to weight loss. I December there are almost too many challenges to weight loss to count.So lets see how we can play with some your choice of FQ's. Please send quality fabric that you would want to receive in return. As always if you don't have the theme, send what you have. If you don't have a FQ, then send a linear 1/4 yard. If you have signed up to be in the running for the prize, please send your FQ to the hostess by the 15th of the month. As the winner has worked hard for her prize.

    Eat healthy, exercise, make wise choices and lose weight but most of all have fun!!!

    Count me in. Anything has to be better than my performance for November - but this keeps me aware. I've told myself no more than a few times.

    I'm definitely in again for Dec., mostly because I not only still need to lose weight, but I already send in my FQ several weeks ago.

    I was so bad this weekend. I was shocked when I stepped on the scale and was only up 2 pounds. We went to Hocking Hills with my family. There were 43 of us. We had a 12 bedroom cabin and it was lots of fun. The amount of food was amazing. We did have a lot of salads and veggies and fruit. We went on several hikes etc.
    On the way home in the car I started out OK with a DIet Coke and pretzels. Not too bad. Them I had cheese popcorn and some candy. Hopefully I am back to behaving myself, it is only about a 3 hour drive. I stopped at Fabric Shack on the way home. I was bad there too. I spent $70.
    Everyone remember to sign up and PM me your weight loss!
