We Have a Winner...
Okay, BigSlicers - based on my oh so scientific data entry system...
Our contestant with the most pounds lost after the first four weeks is... Jaime! Congratulations, girlie!
Jaime is the proud mama of a three (well, must be four now) month old. Since her first weigh-in photo, Jaime has lost 12 pounds.
TWELVE! As in my grand total for, like the last year, minus the amounts that I keep gaining back.
You go, girl! I'll email you about your prize :P We want to know what is working for you... do tell!
Congratulations are in order for:
Healthy Mummy, with a six pound loss
Kris, also with a six pound loss
Jenifer, with a four pound loss
Rae, with a four point two pound loss
Fat Bridesmaid, rocking a three point six pound loss
Elizabeth, down two and a half pounds
Sheila, with two pounds lost
SazzyRedneckMama, with a pound and a half gone
In typical Jenny fashion, I'm still muddled on some of my updating on my chart. I'll put the rest of the numbers together over the next few days. If I've missed you in this entry, I"ll be adding the rest of the participants and fixing the links to your sites. Bear with me.
You may have noticed that I haven't created a worksheet for the last two weeks. My computer has been having some issues with uploading documents, but I think I've found a work-around. Look for a new worksheet on Saturday morning.
Also, you may have seen the button for my CafeMom group. Go on, click on it. It won't bite ya. I'm going to be announcing a daily fitness challenge there, even on the days that I don't do an actual post here on BigSlice. Join in the madness. (We're doing standing leg lifts today)
Finally, I want to tell you all how proud I am of you. You're checking in, you're facing the scale, and you're deciding to start fresh every day, even when you've had a rough slog of it...I'm looking at you, Tess.
The numbers on my scale are still within a pound or two, depending on how much mousse is in my hair, and the humidity in the air. I'm going to buy a new scale...and I'm going to keep at it. Those of you who haven't seen the success on the scale yet, stay with us. We can do this. Don't give up.
With Easter baskets full of candy right around the corner - keep your eyes on your goal. Barring that, remember that Monday morning you are going to be stepping on that scale again... and it is time to take your measurements as well.
Drink your water!
xoxo

Yay! Wow Awesome thank you!
I am doing weight watchers on my own kinda, but keep slipping at keeping my points. But I had read somewhere (I think from a link over at Amazing Shrinking Mom) that if you do really well with eating and exercising for 4 days you usually see a loss. Well I do well for 4 days then slip for a bit, then do well for 4 more days, and somehow the weight stayed off even after a some baaaad food choices.
I had gained 47 pounds with my pregnancy but I am now below my pre-pregnancy weight!!!! YAY!!!

YAY Jaime! That is so great! As a mom of three (one 8 months old) I know the baby weight is a bugaboo. You're doing so great!
Everyone else that lost...Hooray! I'm joining that club.
