Hi there, Fitness Warriors 45 is waiting for you! We’d love to have you join us! Julie asked me to host it, because she will be at the Fitness Warriors meet in Mexico. No reason we shouldn’t have fun at home, though! Let’s start 2017 with fun, fitness and plenty of support! ### $10 bet, starts January 1, late weigh-ins OK. ### https://www.dietbet.com/games/90310/activity

Hey Melissa - congratulations on making goal! Looks like everyone did pretty well this game - guess $100 is too much to lose!

Those are some pretty big numbers! I decided that I'm only going to weigh in every few days since I don't want to obsess over the numbers on the scale. Feels a little dangerous - may have to change my plan if things don't look so good when I weigh in on Monday.

That's a great idea. Any way to keep it in front of all fast food drive-ins?

Melissa D.

Still trying to figure that one out!
