So far it is 70 players and we still have the rest of the day for sign ups. Some lucky person will be winner about 17 yds of wonder calico fabric.

If someone would like to write the list of players and post it that would be a BIG help to me.

I thought of that but I have so much on my plate with DD (read my PDA) for me to have them sent to me and then have to keep track of who sent them I just can't do it. We are talking about 70 people signed up, doing that would make it a full time job. I also feel we are adults and I should not have to be a policeman if someone has made the commitment to sign up then they should be resopnsible to follow through. I am sure the people who neglected to send their FQ to the winner would have not liked it if they were the biggest loser and didn't get the amount of FQ they expected.

SO ONCE AGAIN.............to all who are signing up PLEASE if you are making this commitment and you lose send your FQ to the winner. thanks

May I make a suggestion? Instead of the total lbs. lost, maybe it could be the largest percent of weight loss. That way it's fair for everyone. I read where someone only has 10 lbs to lose and is starting out this month, while others, me included, have been losing weight for awhile. You usually lose more in the beginning of a weight loss program than after you've been in it for awhile. We did this at work once and it worked out well for all. I'd be glad to do the percentages at the end of the month. What do you think?

Ok I'm ready to get this started. We went and had burgers and fries last night so now I can get serious. Good luck to everyone. My goal is to take off 15 or more pounds this month. I will weigh myself when I go to work out tonight.

You are right everyone should be honest and make sure they do the right thing and send out their fat quarter to the winner. So ladies get your fat quarter and pin it up where you can see it also pin the envelope with it and as soon as the winner is posted get it in the mail to her.

How do we post our beginning weight?
