January weight loss
 
January Weight Loss Challenge


January 2015 Weight Loss Adventure with Prize!!
On January 1st, weigh yourself and write it down. DO NOT send it to me. On January 31st, weigh yourself again and PM me your loss. This is weight lost not percentage lost. I will announce the winner on February 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 January it is time for a new start/ new you. It is time to start over with a new year/new you.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!!!

The FQ themes for the next 3 months. I thought white/ off white would be good for January since we are all trying to start over with a clean slate. February- purple, March- orange. You can send all 3 months at a time to save on postage, or just 1 month. Please include your name and your screen name in your envelope. 1 FQ will fit in a business sized envelope, 3 fits in a slightly larger envelope. This is cheaper than using the USPS envelope. Good luck to everyone.

Ya know, I honestly don't know why I bother, but I am here again. My weight has held pretty steady for these past two months - lose 3, gain 3.

But, I am sick of constantly going around this mountain.

Count me in! I've been struggling with my weight for a while. Maybe the chance to add to my stash will motivate me.

HaHa, me too, Leann. But I do know I'm worse when I'm not in on this. So, I'm in again.

Happy New Year, everyone.

Hope everyone had a great holiday....and wishing you all a VERY happy, healthy New Year full of Love, Laughter and Lost pounds !!!!
Was sick for much of December -- so probably lost weight - been eating healthy since....but also not saying no to the cookies....despite this, i only gained 1 pound this month so won't beat myself up too much.
New year....new resolve.
Will send out my FQ next week.
