    Default October 2012 Weight Loss Adventure with a Prize!!!!!

    On October 1st weigh yourself and write it down. Do NOT send it to me. On October 31st weigh yourself again and PM me with your loss. This is weight lost not % lost. I will announce the winner November 2nd.

    PM me for address. FQ’s need to be received no later than the 15th of month.

    You cannot win 2 months in a row.

    Chit chat is allowed, as well as WAYWO, (what are we working on). Please stay positive and uplifting as that is what keeps us on track. Come to this thread for tips, recipes, encouragement and {{{{HUGS}}}}}}

    The prize is a themed FQ. At the end of the month, I will mail all the FQ’s received to the winner by the 5th of the month. I will contact the winner and announce the winner with the number of FQ’s they will receive.

    October fall is in full swing and gets some of us thinking of the upcoming holidays. Theme this month will be shades of green Fabrics, what reminds you of Christmas. Please send quality what you would want to receive. As always if you cannot send the theme fabric please send what you have. If you don't have a FQ, send a linear 1/4 yard. If you have signed up to be in the competition, please send the FQ to hostess by the 10th of the month. The winner has worked hard for this reward.

    Eat healthy, exercise, try and lose weight but most of all have fun!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sign up deadline to be included in the Prize Adventure is October 4th at 9 p.m. CST, with your FQ received by the 15th of month. You can always contribute to the thread, but it is only fair to have a cutoff for those trying to win.

    TO PARTICIPATE, JUST SIGN IN HERE ON THIS THREAD BEFORE SEPTEMBER 4TH. THERE IS NO NEED TO PM FOR PARTICIPATION, JUST YOUR ENDING WEIGHT LOSS FOR THE MONTH.

    You must sign into the thread at least weekly to be eligible for the winning "skinny quarters" or to be declared "best loser for the month."

    I've already sent my FQ, so I'm in. This will be my month - not to win, but to lose weight.

    I am in, for the first time. I have been watching this site for many months and think the idea is so great. I am really looking forward to the support. Thanks so much for organizing this for us.

    tell us all about your vacation when you get back. If you feel waiting until November to start is better, cause I know we dont always do what is best when on vacation. have a great trip.

    If you still want to join in for October please send you FQ before you head out of town.

    Ladies,

    Please remember to include your screen name somewhere on the envelope or inside. I have several that I only have last name and with that I don't know who to give credit to. Thank you for your help.

    I will be posting what the themes will be for all of next year for those who like to send in multiple months. And if anyone has suggestion, I am all ears.

    Keep up your hard work on losing. I didn't do as well last month.
