I haven't heard anyone else volunteering, Sue, so unless you hear somebody
else speaking up, consider yourself appointed as the official April Fool Day
Challenge coordinator! Last chance for somebody else to speak up! We have
a real live volunteer here, folks, cheer her on!

It's seven weeks from Feb. 14 to April 1, as I figure it, so put me down for
seven pounds minigoal.

Carol Schmidt, start 312.5 Feb. 14, minigoal 305.5 April 1.

Maybe I'll be down another pound Feb. 14, and if so, I'll let you know.

We would be FOOLish not to accept your offer, Sue. How nice of you to
volunteer!
I'd be FOOLish not to join, so sign me up!
I'll let you know how much I want to lose after I see what my
Valentine's numbers are. Who else out there wants to FOOL some pounds?

Billie in San Francisco

207.2 / 168.8 / Val. Day Goal 166.2 (-10) 7.4 lost 2.6 to go
Total lost 38.4

If` there is anything half so much fun as being alive, I'd like to know
what it is!

Nobody's really "the leader" here, though Joanie and Rocki send out the
greetings from the newsgroup. People just step up and volunteer and if they
hear no "nays" they go ahead.

From what others have done with the various challenges, you just have people
send you their beginning and goal weights, and their intermediate weigh-ins,
and you keep a record of all of these stats for everybody and post them
every so often. Words of encouragements along the way also seem to help!

Look at Rocki's recent posts on the St. Valentine's Day Massacre for
examples of how she's handling that one after Kim had to drop out.

The challenge is , you have people
send their beginning and goal weights(as at 1/4/01), and their intermediate
weigh-ins,
and a record is kept of all of these stats for everybody and they are posted
every so often.

Hope that helps

Wow! Thanks for volunteering, Sue. You can count me in! I will let you
know my weight and goal next week (I weigh in on Wednesdays, so I will
have an accurate "bottom line" on VD).

Blessings,
Liz

Count me in too! Since I just got back on track after months of being off
track, my current weight of 264 will be my starting weight for the
challenge. I'd like to be at 250 by April Fool's Day.

Good Luck to all this week!

Count me in too. My weigh in day is THURSDAY so my weight was 242.6 so put
me down at 243 (since I feel so fat this morning). I will set my goal for
235 for the AFDC (april fool's day challenge)

Piggybacking due to net squirrels stealing the original post:
Sue, I will be glad to help if you need for the AFDC.
I would like to sign up too-- I challenge myself to 10 pounds. I doubt that
I will make my VD challenge, since I have 6 lbs to go, but hey, I lost
something!
so: 162.4 to 154.2
