For 13 weeks I've participated in Hot for the Holidays at Christie O's blog Baby Tea Leaves. You may or may not have noticed the cute button I had on my sidebar.
I reported my weight loss (or gain doh!) each and every Friday of the challenge and even won a t-shirt and DVD. I also lost the most weight the first week.
Today is the last weigh-in for the challenge and I'm going to miss it. It helped me to lose weight knowing I'd have to report my progress (or lack thereof).
I'm thinking about starting a weight-loss challenge here. I'm in the thinking stage only, well, thinking and feeling out stages. Would I have participants? Could I get prizes?
Ideally, I'd like to get sponsored (donated) prizes to give away. Another option could be for each participant to send in one $5 gift card and give the winner of the challenge most of the cards, with some cards for second, third and fourth place. Or I could just hold a drawing at the end for the cards.
What do you think? Any takers or givers? (would not need to have a blog to participate)
Back to Hot for the Holidays: I am supposed to tell my total weight loss for the 13 weeks and post before and after photos here. I didn't have time/forgot to take a full body after photo so I'll just post head shots with Baby D. Maybe you can see the loss in my face.

I still have a ways to go to be at a healthy weight again, but in 13 weeks I lost 13 pounds. One pound a week. Not too bad.

I had a post over at Midwest Parents yesterday too. Go check it out. Pretty please?

Good job- did you give some of the weight to D? Amma
You know I'm in for the challenge, and for a prize (a totebag for the gym? Book cover and bookmark?)
Congrats on your success!
Way to go you! Mad props.
That's a great job! Congratulations! A very healthy loss.
I LOVE Baby D's little face in that last photo!
I can't be in on the weight loss until this baby stops kicking me in the bladder, but I'd be in to donate some kinda handmade sewn sumpin'. How about a cute apron for all the healthy meals your participants will be cooking?
Heather that's awesome! You're BOTH lookin good!
Hi Heather! I'm Heather too - I think I've been seeing your comments here and there so I thought I'd stop by and check you out! Congrats on the weight loss! That's awesome. 13 pounds! I keep losing (and finding) the same 5!
13 lbs is a huge difference and I can definitely see it in your face.
13 lbs is a 4 month old. You lost a 4 month old . Awesome :}
You should be proud! This is the worst time of year for losing weight, IMHO.
You are looking fabulous!!! Your all glowing. Normally I am about the losing but something tells me that I will not be participating this time ;)
A pound a week is GREAT!
Not too bad AT ALL!!! I think that is awesome! Really awesome!! =)
Congrats, 13 lbs is great!
