This weeks biggest loser is KEVIN! A three week sweep! Congrats to you. Also congrats to three of you who reached a very exciting personal goal. You know who you are!!! Also, I am amazed that we have almost 4 of you that have reached a 30 pound weight loss total. You are almost there Chelsea and Susan. Keep it up!

So, is this a competition or what?!! I know it seems like this may never end for some of you, but remember that is isn't supposed to! We are hoping for lifestyle changes, not just winners to a competition. The competition is just supposed to be motivation, support, and accountability. I know several of you have lost weight prior to the start of this and I applaud you. Don't think your efforts will go unnoticed!

Remember, you will no longer send in your weights to Kevin once we hit December. We want the reveal to be a surprise to everyone. Please chart your losses, and on the day of the final weigh in (the morning of Dec. 24th) you will get a call for your final number. The percentages will be totaled and the results will be sealed in an envelope!!! December is your month to work your butts off...quite literally! Lets try to put up some big numbers!!!

Also, another reminder for those who haven't sent in their checks. Please do so ASAP! Everyone in this competition committed to the buy in, so please make it fair to everyone by sending in your money. I am unaware of who has actually sent in their checks, but just know that there are a few out there that still need to come in. THANK YOU!

* ATTENTION ATTENTION*
For those of you who have not sent your checks into Paul, please do so as soon as possible!!!

Congratulations Kevin, you are this weeks biggest loser! Two weeks in a row! Way to go!!! Although you all have lost a whopping 173 pounds it seems as though a pep talk is needed! ;) This weeks weight loss total was only 3.4 pounds. I know lives are busy and some have had company, but lets try to focus this next week! Plan your meals, gut your pantries and get exercising! We are coming on the tail end of this competition and we want to end strong!!! The 25 pound minimum weight loss is still attainable for everyone. We know you can do it!

P.S. Please try to make sure all of your weight loss totals are emailed to Kevin on Monday so we can get the totals posted for everyone. Thank you!

Here we go! It is the eighth weigh in and a sHoCkInG 169.9 pounds has been lost!!! A-ma-zing! I am so proud of everyone's hard work. This weeks biggest loser is Kevin! Hooray Kev! Great work.

OK everyone, get your Thanksgiving Day game plans ready. If you don't do it now you may be a deer in the headlights when you are trapped in front of a buffet of savory foods. If you gear up and plan what you are going to eat, and when to stop eating (haha) you may not blow all your hard work. Imagine...leaving a Thanksgiving dinner and not feel guilty. Can it really exist? YES! A few extra work outs in days prior to the big feast just may allow you to eat just what you want! Good luck and stay focused!

Alright, alright. Give us a hard time if you want, but we were busy partying it up in California!!! You may be able to tell from Kevin's and Paul's weights! Hahaha! Sorry for not being on the ball and getting things posted for last week, but we are back and committed!

OK, enough of that! Let's get on with it!!! Congratulations CHELSEA!!! You are this weeks biggest loser. What a great week for you! Those dogs of yours are going to be pooped after you are done with them ;) . Keep it up because Kevin is back in the game, and he wants to be back on top! Oh, and just so all of you know, Nestor is looking fabulous too! He is dropping weight right along with his cutie patootie wife. It's amazing the results this competition can have!!!

Keep up the good work ya'll!

Hooray for Kevin! He was this weeks biggest loser! Sorry this post was so late. We were out of town!

5 weeks have come and gone, and the results are still amazing! You have lost an Aubrey AND an Olivia (plus some)!!! We are a third of the way through. That means you all still have weeks 10 1/2 weeks left! It is unbelievable what some have accomplished in this short time. Remember the minimum weight loss goal is 25 pounds by Christmas, but don't sell yourselves short of what you think you can do. The holidays are rapidly approaching, and that means the sweets and feasts are too! Gear up and make a game plan now for what you are going to do to prevent sabotaging yourselves. A little extra exercise may allow a little more room to enjoy the flavors you enjoy most. Just make sure you don't lose sight of our end goal!!! Congrats to all, and keep up the good work!

Quaker Rice Cakes!

So I was at the grocery store the other day and I saw these..so I bought a few different kinds to try out. They are SOO good! 

This kind is my fave! 

These ones are quite yummy too!

And these too(of course!)

I also got some cheddar and sour cream ones that are pretty good. Its nice to have when you are craving something sweet (instead of candy) or crunchy( instead of chips)!

Their are lots more flavors! 

Best of all..they are only 90 CALORIES for the WHOLE PACK! And their are lots (in my opinion) in each pack! 

So if snacking is a problem for you ( like it is for me...) then I would suggest picking up some of these! :) 

Enjoy!

♥ Chels

P.S.

If you go to quakerricecakes.com, they have LOTS of yummy, good for you recipes for the big Quaker Rice Cakes!
