Some of our husband/wife members or spouse of member are beginning a weekly weight challenge. Encourage your spouse to join in. You may post for them if they so desire. This space will be for your progress. There are two graphics choices to go into your signature. One is if the wife wins that week, and one is if the husband wins that week. Sign in and keep us posted and if you have additional ideas let us know. We want to be supportive!



Added this for Mom's

Oh Yeah!
Thats yours truly, the Foxy mama and papa allright! Editor, how did you get pictures of us without us knowing? :loll:

Its Ours People! Ain't nobody gonna take that away from us, YOU HEAR THAT J.I.L and TONI and whoever else is lurking around!!!!!!!

Yours Truly,
:angel Faith

Editor, I do love your ideas. You are such an inspiration to us all. Love ya sis.

:moi: Its tough being so beautiful, but we can handle it! :rah: Go me and Foxy! :loll:

Smile, you all were on Candid camera!
Love you too, Faith. I am no good without other's inspiration, believe me.

LOL Faith! I'm lurking....but my dh wouldn't be interested in a challenge at this time. He's proud of his tummy! hehe

I'm thinking of asking my dd if she wants to do a challenge, though. I think it will motivate her to work harder if she's up for it. Betsy has inspired us so much with her and her dh's challenge!

Toni, I am willing to make special graphics with your and Shannon's name as well as Angelic and Bruce's. Let's roll!

Cool! I'll talk to her as soon as she gets her tired buns out of bed! :loll:

:rolleyes: A long time ago, my husband and I did a month long challenge. He lost 21 lb and I lost 7. Seven is pretty good don't you think? But I was devestated because he lost 3 times as much as I did. Never again. Just think what would have happened if I had kept going. :) P.S. Is there a spell check around here? :loll:

Carol, there is a way around that and it is done with percentages. I am a Math idiot but someone on another challenge offered it if we did male/female teams. I am very opened to suggestions how we can all work together to make this fair because men do lose faster than women. No spell check, but Invision boards did promise it with their next upgrade. That was a long, long time ago.

Shannon was happy to go for a challenge with me. :yay1:

Since I lose weight faster than she does we chose a goal for her of 16 pounds, and a goal for me of 32 pounds. Our challenge ends April 10th, just in time for us to take our trip to South Carolina to visit my dad and step-mom. If neither of us makes goal weight, the person closest takes the pot of $50.

Very, very cool. Sounds fair. Until I set up indivdual spaces or rules, we will be content right now to have Shannon add this to her signature weekly win or not.

Shannon says: :yay1: :cooly: Thanks so much!

allright dh mark has joined in he just registered and said hello.
LOL Faith!!!!Of course you realize dis means war!!**JIL says in her best bugs bunny tone** :lol:

JIL, you needn't be nice to Faith now that you have spousal support. Welcome Mark! I greeted him in Say Hello forum.

Wow....just like BL Couples! Woohoo!

Shannon, I might appoint myself as Judge and I can be bought off very inexpensively to influence the results of this challenge. :)

That's cool....I have no money. That's an inexpensive price, correct? My mom tells me you can be bought off with pizza. I make a mean pizza.

I am totally dedicated to you and pizza. I am in your pocket.

Shannon says: Score!

Toni just shakes her head. I see you two plotting!

*Shannon uses her invisible powers to hide from mom...*

Shannon says to Editor: If we move really slow she won't see us. :muha:

*sidenote* I secretly agree but can't go public. Mom's of teenagers are never the first to see all, know all, or move quickly enough to combat.

:mad: Jil, don't you even be making me mad! My hubby can punch your hubby if he has to! :giggle: :moi: I personally ain't messin with you (YOU LOLLIPOP SNATCHER) Next you'll be trying to snatch those lovely pictures editor took of hubby and me! Look out Shannon, theres some sneaky people around here, includin your momma! You can trust Auntie Faith though. :angel I'm here for ya!

Editor, whats this? Whos side are you on anyways? I've heard of money talks, but pizza? Oh well, we will be all skinny and you'll be rollin all over this board from all those pizza bribes. :loll:

I :dunno: You all just don't know how to behave yourselves around here!

:hug:
Faith

:wub: A special welcome package awaits you in Breakin the Ice Forum. If you accept you will be literally breakin' the ice :giggle: , thus hubby and I will win challenge! Hungry JIL?

Seriously, we are so happy you have joined us and I love my sister Jil too! You both are :super:

God Bless,

:hug:
Faith

Personally, I loved your offer to Mark and Jil of a welcoming gift. I think that is even more underhanded! Wish I had thought of that.

Editor,
When is the official weigh in to be? I think I need another week. We had Jack & Jil's 5 gallons of ice cream in the house and somebody had to polish it off. :joking:

I was hoping I'd see these results instead:

Jack & JIL went up a hill to fetch a pail of ice cream
Jack fell down (He cheated on this challenge, shame shame)
And JIL ran down
Cause she was sure to crown him :stress: :faint:

*Faith is :loll: I'm just too funny!*

Seriously,
Will we have charts and is there an official date to begin? I need more details here

:weight4: Faith and hubby :weight1: are anxiously awaiting!

:pigged: Faith (Gotta go clean out the fridge first)

Faith, I'm gonna have to call Dr. Phil again with the lollypop thing that was in the past! I took it from the dog for you! Why?!?!Anything for my sis! can you feel the love in this room?!?! Besides you admitted to loven your sis JIL...How could you not ?!? You ate all our ice cream!!!The nerve! got any ho ho's left tee hee :lol:

We will keep the weigh-in's on Monday so that will still coincide with our members that are in the New Year-New Me challenge.

Shannon, I think there is no way, no chance, no whatever, but if you lose the weekly challenge with Mom (yeah, sure like that could ever happen), here is the graphic you have to wear in your sig.

I know I'm going to have to work to keep up with her! She went to a friend's house last night to play Dance Dance Revolution. That's a video game that you dance to. Very fast! She probably lost the whole 16 pounds last night! LOL

Can't wait to show her this cute new graphic. Thanks for showing her the love Editor!

My grandchild has that! Best thing I ever laid my eyes on---really. She dared my to try it. Guess since she challenged me with a hoola hoop I have lost my zip for movement. :lol:

I love that they combined a video game (a usually sedentary thing) with fast paced exercise! Truly genius!

Hooray, that someone saw the need of this generation that was raised on eyesight activites to get them moving!

ddr (dance dance revolution) is really fun! All the music is japanese so of course that makes it twice as cool! There's also an excercise setting and it tells you how many calories you've lost while playing! :yay1:

I would especially be interested to see how many calories I burned.

We didn't know this challenge started. No fair! :mad: I guess its our fault. Kind of confused on rules for this challenge. Are we supposed to post weight here? Also since we are in this challenge are we supposed to not post anymore in New Years Challenge?

We are really happy for you Jack. Great job. I don't remember that you mentioned your goals. Probably in it just til Jil stops threatening to serve you liver and onions, right? We will be praying for you and Jil. Jil a maintain is still great cause you have done so well last couple of weeks. Whatever y'all are doin, keep it up!

Where oh where is everybody else. I know we have more people signed up here don't we?

:hug:
Faith

Shannon and I are having our first official weigh in next Monday for our challenge. That's why she didn't post yet. She will be posting here, but not in the New Year New Me challenge.

Faith...are you mad again? Good grief! :loll:

Hush up Toni! :giggle:

It was my hunky husbands picture that was given to Jack. Well Jack might be hunky too, (Faith knows sister Jil has good taste, I'm sure) but its our picture! :mad:

Mean editor!

Sweet :angel
Faith

Faith you crack me up.!..Hey why dont we start it on next Monday we can all state what our goals are by the end of this week, and then start Monday what do you all think? Faith it was your fault , but we forgive you sis :loll: I'm not sure of the rules either I know Mark is only going to do 30 pounds with me I have more to go after that.

Jack is weighing in at 206
JIL is weighing in at 230 :eek:
our challenge is to lose 30 pounds whoever reaches goal first wins 100 bucks! :woohoo: We are also accepting check and money orders :loll: :joking:
End of challenge weight for JIL is 200 pounds
End of challenge weight for Jack is 176 pounds

:love:
JIL

Hush up Toni? Hush up Toni?! Now you're gonna get it Faith! :mad:

:giggle: :help: now she's really gonna get me!

Good start JIL. For those in the New Year- New Me challenge continue to post there. And for those that want it more personal and supportive also post here. Next Monday is a fine starting date and we will take it from there. I could not resist giving Jack his graphic, and Shannon gets to keep hers all the time, but gets the, "oops my bad" added for the week if she loses to Mom.

:eek:

247 for Foxy :weight1:


213.4 for Foxy Mama :weight4:

Well not too Foxy right now, but were gonna be again.

:hug:
Faith

The bad news is neither Faith or Mr. Faith get a graphic in their signitures this week.

The good news neither of them lose the signature they never had.

Not a bad trade off, I'd say.

I know your household had upsets with illness this prior week. I am praying for health and well-being for the family, and back on track for the two lovebirds.
