Rules

First off, I already got one company to offer up a prize for the winner of the Weight Loss Competition. I'm not going to say who it is, but I will say I've tried it before and loved it. I'm going to try to work my magic a little more to see what else I can get.

We also have more people who are interested in joining the fun!!

Plus the people I listed yesterday...(365Runs, Liz, Jeanette, Amanda, Hoodie, Marlene, and Natalie).

Now, to keep it fair I think we should report our total percentage lost. This will take into account those who don't have as much to lose as some other people. To calculate the percentage lost:

((Starting weight - current weight) / Starting weight) * 100

For example, if your starting weight was 100 lbs and you lost 1 lb:

((100 - 99)/100)* 100 = 1%

RULES:

• Every Tuesday email me (dclaffey76@yahoo.com) your total percentage lost. You do not need to send me your weight.
• I will report results on Wednesday.
• Contest will go until Oct 27, 2009 (which happens to be my birthday!!).
• Everyone has to be honest!!!
• You have to report in each week, even if you had a slight set back and gained a little. Which I'm sure will happen to all of us!!

So, I'll be expecting to hear from everyone on Tuesday!! Good luck!!

Oh, and my running...it's been going pretty well. I got up early to run each day this week to beat the heat but today, there was just no escaping the humidity. I really felt it and was soaking wet when I was done. All I have left for the week is a 3 miler tomorrow then 14 miles on Saturday. Each week my long run has been increasing since the Ultra recovery and I love it. Can't wait till I'm back up to my 20 milers!!
