And the winner is .....

~FINAL WEIGH IN NUMBERS~

So our little mini challenge we had going on with a few friends and people at work is finally over and the final numbers are in. We started April 1st and went to July 1st to see who could loose the most percentage of body weight. Everyone put $25 into the pot and the winner wins the prize!! So here are the final numbers:

Bryan - start weight=227.8

final weigh in=224.8

total loss=3lbs

1.3%

Amanda - start weight=169.4

final weigh in=168.8

total loss=0.6lbs

0.4%

(technically she dropped out)

Denise - start weight=247.8

final weigh in=237.8

total loss=10lbs

4%

(this is the last weigh in # I know of)

Leanne - start weight=222.8

final weigh in=205.4

total loss=17.4lbs

7.8%

James - start weight=191.8

final weigh in=180.2

total loss=11.6lbs

6%

So as you can see, from all the final numbers that I was given .... looks like I'm the big winner!! But me and James have decided to do a double or nothing mini challenge. We are starting now and finishing around the end of October (Halloween). It will be based on % of weight lost again, so if anyone wants in on this mini challenge they are more then welcome. It is more for fun and just to make sure we stay on the right path, not like last time. When I did this same challenge with the Moms group I did really well and then once the challenge was over I went right back to my old ways and gained it all back. So this time we are going to keep going!!! James and I have the same weight loss goal of 169 and although he will probably beat me to it, it's nice to have someone push you a little to try harder. I'm glad that James is going to continue with me for another 3 months cause already I have found myself being drawn to foods junk that I shouldn't eat (like chocolate bars and chips).

Below are a few pics of our Canada Day celebrations! It was a fun day, we started off with a small parade downtown - the Silly Summer Parade. It is really short (only about a half hour) and really has just about anything in it. One of Jacobs little friends joined us to watch and beside the fact that I got a parking ticket it was over all a pretty good parade! :( After the parade we stopped for lunch, Jacob crashed on the way home and even went back to bed for two more hours once we got home!! Which was good cause we kept him up till midnight to watch the fireworks, which he LOVED!!
