Hey there everyone!
Don't know if you noticed or not but there wasn't a weekly weigh-in this week. Why? Because no one sent me their weights. I am not too beat up about it though because we have our first official weigh-in in 2 days!!
That's right. Tuesday, February 1st is right around the corner. What this means for you is it is nearly scale time. Be sure to jump on the scale any time on the 1st and send me your new weight. The deadline is midnight and if you don't want threatening calls from me, send in your weigh nice and early. :)
So excited to see who the competition will be and who is really taking things seriously!
Make sure to work extra hard in your "last chance work-out" tomorrow.
Good luck!!!

Sites for people who exercise
Hopefully you all have seen and maybe even used some of the "Sites for people who exercise."
This is just a little collection of sites I have used or heard of from you.
Here is a little more info on each of the sites.
550 Workout:
I just found this new work-out and it's tough!! We could totally have a challenge to see who can do the full work-out in the least amount of time. Try it out!! Just don't plan on doing a ton of walking the next day.. :)
Lose it!:
Lose it is a fancy calorie counter. It tracks your meals and your exercise and tells you how much you need of each to get to your goal weight.
My Fitness Pal:
MyFitnessPal is pretty much the same as Lose it. I would say try them both out and see which one fits you best!
Plus3Network:
Plus3 is probably one of my favorite sites lately. Every time you exercise, you enter your stats on the site. Then you get "kudos" which turns into money you have earned for sponsors. I have been exercising to earn money for the American Heart Association. So far I have earned $6.82!! Which, I know, doesn't really sound like a ton... But, I earned it by exercising!! We are all going to be exercising anyway so we may as well be earning money for others while we do it! :)
Make sure you check them all out!!
If you know any awesome sites you would like me to add just send them my way!!
Also, if you haven't been keeping an eye on the countdown timer, we have 2 weeks until the first weigh-in!!

Tour pt. 2
I am so excited to post some weight loss results tomorrow!! A few of you are doing awesome!! If you want to add your great numbers to the list get your new weight to me by tonight.
Ok, on with the tour. Over on the right column you can see a few important numbers in "The Pot." This, as I am sure you are all aware, is the big prize for winning Merkley's Biggest Loser. Right now we have 12 contestants participating so the total pot is $1200. We do have a few undecided members of the family that could help increase the size of the pot though. So the final winning amount may end up being a little more. We will not know for sure until March 1st, the day all the money is due.
Under "The Pot," the "Countdown" is counting down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the next monthly weigh-in. The monthly weigh-ins are mandatory. Everyone must send in their weight to me on the first of each month by midnight. I am so excited for our first weigh-in to be able to see how everyone is doing!
Well, that's all for today.
Stay strong and say no to seconds today!

A little tour.
Welcome to week 2!! Hopefully you all still have lots of steam and you are going strong!! I have talked to quite a few of you and I am so proud to hear how well you are all doing and how committed you all still are!!
I figured over the next little while I would kind of give everyone a little tour of the blog so it can be used to it's fullest potential! :)
On the left column there is a "The Contestants" spot. Here is where each month I will post everyone's weight loss percentages. Here you will be able to see who your biggest competition is and how much weight you need to aim to lose the next month to get in the lead!
Some of you have asked what will be posted at each weigh-in. I will only be posting percentages lost. Your weight will still be confidential. :)
Right under all your wonderful names there is the weight loss calculation I will be using to see how everyone is doing.
This is here for two reasons. First, so you can track yourself. And second to show that I really do listen to you. :) There was a special request to add this little calculation to the blog so now it is here!! What does this mean for you? It means if there is something missing you would like to see or if you have any fantastic ideas to make our little blog even better let me know!! I am here to please!
Well, make sure you keep up the good work!! Go 5 minutes longer when you work out today just for me. ;)
