I knew this month would prove to be tough because it's that time of year! This week showed just how tough it can be. Here are some tips Wendy Rudy found online and shared with me about trying to lose weight during the holidays:

• At parties don't hang out by the food table.


• Be particular about what you eat. Choose food you don't have at home or won't be making yourself.


• Visit the food table once. Throw your plate away after your first visit and don't pick up another one.


• Engage yourself with conversation.

You really took the advice to start off strong!! For those that aren't used to seeing the weekly post, I list the partnership that is ahead at the beginning and down the list in order of combined percentage. You will see each person, their weekly report and weekly percentage, followed by their combined weekly percentage. Next week I will add a combined "to-date" percentage. Check out the results of our first week:

Amber Beagley - lost 5 (-2.76%)
Heather Murphy - lost 1.3 (-0.69%)
Weekly Total: -3.46%

Mashell Lungren - lost 1 (-0.76%)
Kristen Stout - lost 2 (-1.05%)
Weekly Total: -1.81%

Becky Cantrell - lost 0 (0.00%)

Weekly Total: -1.22%

Ann Christensen - lost 1 (-0.66%)
Lucy Leatherman - lost 0 (0.00%)

Here is one of the biggest pieces of advice I can provide: DONT GET DISCOURAGED and quit trying!! There isn't a person on this list that won't have a week where they don't gain or stay level atleast once, I promise. In the next 6 months some of us will travel, get sick or have something come up we didn't expect that will affect our weight. Continue watching the numbers each week and know where you sit there will be a week where someone ahead of you will have a tough week and you can slip into their spot. That will only happen if you are consistantly working at it. This will be won by daily, weekly persistance. You have to keep going strong until the end and you will see the results.
