Monthly weights - Accountabiliy
"Well, I was thinking that perhaps we should just have our weigh ins at the first of the month and only do one per month. My thought is that everyone should set a goal that they want to stay at and then if they go over that, they need to get back on track. High or low, type that number and be accountable. That way we can still check in every month and keep in contact. What do you think? If I don't get many replies, I may throw this part of the post into a separate one (which I'm doing now). Be ready with that first one on October 1st...that falls on a Wednesday."
The above paragraph was pulled out of a post below that Esther started...so you prompted a good idea Esther. It would be more fun if we had a rotating host each month. The only requirement of the host would be to reply back to everyone who checks in and give some form of encouragement (even if we don't deserve it..just kidding). Unless someone objects, I'll take the month of January. I have off from school and I think I would make a great butt kicker for anyone who let the holidays get the best of them. I'm just kidding...I'll be gentle...I promise. Also, the host has the job of sending a PM to at least 10 people encouraging them to submit...those whom we've not heard from for a time. We can even make this requirement optional...yep...I'm pretty easy going these days. I know one of my goals is to get T.Rob to cast a post upon us.
Also, I think that anyone who would like to join in the fun could stop on in for a quick chat on a monthly basis (we will go quarterly if interest dwindles or lacks). We seemed to do pretty well when we did the Sunday schedule back in 2007. So, I'm proposing that we give it a try to see if anyone wants to join in. The most logical would be to set it up as the Sunday following (or including) the first of the month. We will plan to chat at the following times: 6 pm (Pacific) 7 pm (Mountain) 8 pm (Central) 9 pm (Eastern) (these are all simultanious times - so join for 10 minutes or whatever. I'm guessing how busy everyone is, probably about 45 minutes would be the maximum, but we can play it by ear for now.
Let's march on this new journey together...keeping off what we've worked so hard for thus far.

P.S. Now taking nominations for hosts (facilitators - fancy name so you can put it on a resume..lol) in October, November, December, February, March (6 months at a time I guess). Just call out your preference...

Love it, love it, love it! And, if ya'll don't mind, I'll be happy to take December as a facilitator (haven't heard that word since my days at DuPont LOL). I need some butt-kicking as I've been doing a little "emotional eating" lately. My scale hasn't shown it...yet. lol As for chats, I'm there too. If my Cowboys are playing I might not be "as" attentive, but I'll be there. LOL
I've gotten too blase about my new life. Got lots of compliments at a party with the hellish side. But, yippee, I wasn't the fattest woman in the room! Shoot, I was one of the smallest. Nice change. And not one insult from my a-hole uncle. Shockers!
So, okay, May Family. I'll see ya'll here October 1st. Let's get back in the reporting groove!
