Ok, here it is! I know you could barely sleep last night just anticipating this last rule addition! Fret no more, ladies! You're about to read it in all of its glory. Please no hate mail once you realize how anti-climatic this is!!!
So, here's the skinny on the Skinny. On Saturday morning, I need you to email me your official baseline weight. Along with that, I need your 'poundage to lose' goal. I'll use myself here as the example-my 'poundage to lose' goal is 28 pounds. And, now because that is a lofty goal and it'll take me ALL 14 weeks to accomplish this, I'll use a make-believe player to describe this new rule. Let's say player A weighs 150 pounds and she wants to lose 15 pounds during the 14 weeks. That is definitely more reasonable! And let's say player A is really digging in and exercising and eating healthy and loses all 15 pounds half way through. Well, come next weigh-in and the weeks following, she's going to have to pay double-$4 per week because that's ridiculous! What is she trying to prove being all good and all over-achiever like. HA! Just kidding. Had you, didn't I!?!
Ok, so, Player A in all of her skinny minnie glory, will not have to pay if she doesn't lose any more weight. But, she will have to pay if she gains some weight back-so she must still weigh-in and do right by her body. I will know when you hit your goal, since you are going to tell me your goal in the beginning. Now, listen up ladies. Remember in the original rules how I told you if you lie no one will like you anymore...same thing applies here. Please take this seriously and if you need to lose 28 pounds, tell me 28 pounds. Don't give me a lower number just to keep yourself from owing later on in the competition. Please play fair!
In case you're wondering how you could win only losing 15 pounds, when others are going to try and lose more, let me work out this math with you. Remember, we are doing this by percentage lost-not pounds lost. So, again let's use Player A and introducing Player B. Player A weighs 150 pounds and loses 15 pounds-that is a 10% weight loss!! Now Player B weighs 200 pounds and she will have to lose 20 pounds to have to same result! See how that works? Seriously, if not, ask me in your email and I will clarify it. Do not be ashamed! :-)
G'day!

Do Ray Me Fa So La Ti Do
An enitre post about scales?!? Who knew one could have enough info about a scale to create a whole blog post!?! No worries though, it'll be a short one!
Just wanted to add some scale criteria to the official rulebook. By the way, if it's typed on here...it's official, just sayin'. First of all, you must be weighing in on a digital scale. Believe me, I know your tricks, gals-sliding that little hand to the right of the zero makes it appear as though you weigh a few pounds less. I admit to doing that; I admit to losing friends due to my lying. (Please refer to prior post). Not really, about the losing friends part. I've never told anyone I've cheated on my weight in that way before. I'm fessing up, please don't hate me!
And now, I'm racking my brain for a second rule about scales. I said 'criteria', not 'criterium' and I said 'First of all' as if there would be a 'Second of all'. I'm stuck now. There MUST be at least one more rule! Hmmm, ok, got one!
Second of all, if you are out of town on weigh in day...for goodness sake make sure you pack that scale in your suitcase. You must weigh on the same scale every Saturday morning. If you forget, you'll be fined $2 as if you gained! HARSH! So, just take it with you!

The Challenge! Holiday style!
Why, hello there fellow wish-I-was-skinnier-but-can't-seem-to-put-this-cookie-down-girl friend! (Sorry, no men allowed!) I'm so glad you're here, joining me in this friendly competition of shedding some major poundage! Not sure how you clicked here, whether you know me personally or you know someone I know; however it happened-doesn't matter, you're here and you're considering the challenge! That's the first step! Check off one small victory for you! Yeah! Anywho, here's how fat is going down.
First off, you have to pay to play. I mean, there has to be some type of motivation, right?? (Other than, of course, looking better, feeling better, blah, blah, blah.) I'm not sure how many people will be playing as of yet, but, there is potential for a pretty decent payout for the winner! The cost per player is $14, that's one dollar per week people, quit griping! The $14 is non-refundable to prevent drop-outs! I won't have it!
The challenge starts October 1st. That's right around the corner, so you better get your laziness out right now-be a couch potato, eat some bad stuff, whatever it is that is holding you back has to stop in just 22 days! October 1st is a Saturday, which is a perfect day to start with a weigh-in. That's how I like to start my weekends off-depressing myself with the scale! Really, it won't be bad, just know, you'll never have to weigh that ever again! Yippee!! We will weigh in every Saturday morning-naked, of course! I don't know about you but I wear sweats to bed (much to my husband's dismay)...I swear they weigh like, 15 pounds, at least-we can't have that added on-yikes! You will have to report your weight to me, but only me. I will not disclose it to anyone else, I promise. Now folks, since we are spread out everywhere (I mean location-wise, geez), we are going to have to be an honest group. I was thinking about having you take a picture of your feet on the scale and sending it to me every week, but I know the integrity of the group is better than that. So, you know, just don't lie-nobody wins like that and no one will like you anymore either!
The last weigh-in will be December 31st and the winner will be announced January 1st! Happy New Year to all of us because we will all be Skinny Minnies-but one lucky, hot, chica will be rich, I tell ya! Hard work pays off! And, doesn't that sound great not to have a New Year's resolution of weight loss! The winner will be determined not by pounds lost, but actually, by percentage of weight lost-just like the show, gals.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot the kicker! If you gain weight at the weekly weigh-in, that'll cost ya-$2! Stay the same? $1. Lose, and you're off scotch free-go buy yourself a...water...because that's all you can have!
Ok, so you need to let me know if you're in or out. Leave a comment here to declare acceptance of this challenge! I'm super excited to get this underway! And, just a small disclosure: I'm not only the president of The Soon-To-Be Skinny Minnies, I'm also a player-and I'm bringing it!! (Which means-I'm competing for the moolah too, yo!)
More to come, bookmark this site! I plan on posting results here as well as recipes and other great tidbits along the way!
