Novemeber Throw-Down Challenge Update

Good Friday everybody! I hope you are all looking forward to a great weekend.
I should have posted yesterday, but my day got away from me. So here are the results from week one of my challenge with Leah:

Leah's current weight/ weight loss/percentage: 190, -1.5 lbs, .78%
Barb's current weight/weight loss/percentage: 167.5, -1.5 lbs, .89%

Notice these result may be different than what is on Leah's blog. She used the Fit Watch calculator, found here. I had not used that calculator and my initial results were a higher percentage loss. But I want to use the same calculator to measure as Leah so I calculated using the Fit Watch calculator, which seems to calculate lower than my own calculator and a couple of other sites. Hmmmm... not sure why. But it doesn't really matter, as long as we use the same calculator so it is fair.

It looks as if I won this week, by the hair of my chinny chin chin. I have to say I am sooooo proud of Leah. She is on vacation and still kicking the scale's behind! I think this means I better step it up myself, because Leah won't be on vacation for much longer.

I am very happy with my loss this week, though. I have been posting my weight on here every Wednesday for most of this journey. My last Wednesday weigh-in was 170.5, so since then I have lost 3 pounds. Not so shabby! Thursdays will be my official weigh-ins for the time being.

Well, I have to go now. I am giving two talks on Sunday for church and really should finish preparing them so I am not totally nervous because of I don't feel prepared. Who am I kidding? I'll be totally nervous anyway! But if I'm prepared, I may not come across quite so nervous.

Have a great weekend everybody! I'll post an update on my goals on Monday.
