Talking UK Race before the Meet in November. Prize Giveaway!

Hello all my fellow UK friends,

Ok here is the thing, I for one have been having a hard time getting back on track. So I thought, we could start a challenge before our Meet in my place in November.

I thought I'd make this fun and exciting. I will be giving away ONE prize to the winner. Race begins as soon as you post your stats and ends November 20th, a week before our Meet.

Here's how it works:

You have to weigh in once a week and post your stats. Take pictures of your progress and post them in the Gallery and let us know you posted it so we can all go see. You can take measurements too but winner will be selected by pounds lost not inches. No fibbing cause I saw you all last month and know what you look like.

The one to lose the most weight between now and our Meet will win a basket full of goodies. I don't want to have a set amount to lose, so it's who lose's the most.

I was thinking of adding some LC products in the basket as well as a nice Top or sweater for the winner. (Which means the winner will have to give me their shirt size at end of Race) The competition will end the week before our Meet so I have time to buy the Top for Man or Woman winner. SORRY ONLY ONE WINNER and I'm not including myself in the race for the prize but I will be in it too for weight loss sake.

Who wants in? And as soon as you enter the Beat the Bulge Race, you have to enter your stats.

And remember, we are all winners at the end, because we will be healthier.

May the Race begin:

My stats:

Sept 6: 213 I will be posting my recent picture today when I take it later today.

Who's Next?

Oh and if you take pictures wearing the same outfit each time I think that will help in seeing the differences better. Cause some clothing makes us look bigger or smaller. So pick on outfit and always use that one for your progress picture. It'll feel so great to feel and see that outfit getting big on ya.

Yeah we are. Usually we meet in London some where but I offered to do it at my house this time. I think this will be lots of fun and the prize give away will just add motivation to those struggling to get on track or finding motivation.

Here is my picture for today. My 18 size pants are snug, I really need to shed some pounds they didn't use to fit that way.



I have another pic in my gallery showing the difference between now and about 6 months ago wearing the same shirt.

I'm ready to burn some fat baby. WOO HOO!

WOO HOO sexy Vicky is in!

Question for ya though, why does your weight say 274 pounds? Shouldn't it say 160?

Don't underestimate yourself, I mean for all we know the winner may only lose 6 pounds while everyone else lost 4 pounds.

Just stick with it cause at the end, we are all winners.

OK - I'm in. But can't post pictures cause the technicalities of that are beyond me.

And I think you should include yourself in the race and be eligible for the prize.

Will weigh tomorrow and post stats.

WOO HOO so glad you joined Vanessa.

Well honestly the only reason I didn't join the race is cause I lose fast. It wouldn't be fair.

Hugs!
