Losing to Win: Daily Somethings...

I have decided I'm going to do daily entries on this blog.. just short and sweet.

Each Sunday I will pose a challenge for the week.

On Mondays I will post some sort of statistic.

Tuesdays with be a small nutrition tip.

Wednesdays will be a JOKE.

Thursdays will be WHATEVER I FEEL LIKE! ;o)

Friday will be an inspirational quote.

Saturdays I can't guarantee I'll be able to get to the comp! :o)

And because it's Friday.. here's your inspirational quote:

You don't drown by falling in the water.

You drown by staying there.

Rules

(If you have had a weight loss surgical procedure more than 18 months ago you are welcome to compete!)

* Each competitor is REQUIRED to blog AT LEAST 4 TIMES A MONTH with no longer than 10 days between entries on a blog set up specifically for weight loss. (Check out an example HERE) Competitors who miss a week in any given month will not be eligible for prizes that month.
