Part 2 of Competition!!

So based upon our little poll...which only had 8 votes:) But based up on those votes we will be breaking our competition into 2 parts. I will be taking all of the points from November 30th-Feb 7th. I will also be throwing out each person's worst week or one week that they chose to take off. Then we will award half of the money to the winner! Does everyone want to get together for that?? Or do you just want me to do it??

We will begin part two of the competition on Feb 15th. The rules will remain the same except for the following:


* There will be no more minus points for chips, sour cream, cheese etc. **however we will still be minusing points for deserts*** which is defined as: any sugary treat. If you have an questions on what that included feel free to ask me during this week. Just post your question on the comment section of the blog. Each dessert will be worth 3 minus points.

* You will also be responsible for posting your points each week. I will put a post up on the blog. You will log in every week and post your points under the comment section. You will be able to see everyone's point totals. Maybe this will help people be a little more accountable for their points...


Something that I have felt the need to say for a while now. Remember that this competition is only here to help keep you motivated and involved with a group of women that care. I also hope that it helps to keep you accountable to someone. Keep in mind though that I am not claiming that following this plan is going to guarrentee weight loss. Each of us should be able to apply this to what we are currently doing in our quest for healthiness. We each need to reach inside ourself and find that little extra to motivate ourselves! That is one of the hardest things to do!!

I hope that made sense! Let me know if you have any questions. Also, just to clarify...if you paid at the beginning of the competition you will not need to add any more money in the pot. However if you know of someone who would like to join the competition they are welcome to join at this point and contribute 20 dollars.

Thanks,

jamie

I have a question??? PLEASE READ!!!

Hey there fellow Badonkadonks!!

This round of Badonkadonks has been a very interesting process for me. I have felt that for the most part people are not too motivated to keep going. That could be for a number of reasons. Alot of people have fallen off of the ban wagon...so after some thinking I had an idea.


I was thinking of ending what we will call the 1st round of badonkadonks on Feb 6th. I would talley all of the points and we would give half of them money to the first round winner. Which If I am remembering right would be around $150-200 dollars.


Then beginning Feb 8th or the 15th we would begin what we will call "Round 2" We would take this one for 12 weeks so ending the end of April. Just in time for swimsuit season!! In Round 2 I would change a couple of things....No Minus points. That area got too be to gray of an area and I thinked stressed out to many people. I was hoping that by doing this it would give people who have fallen off of the banwagon to have a second chance so to say. If there were any people who would like to join they would be given this opportunity right now.

You have paid for this competition so I would like to do what you would like to do. So take a minute and feel out the poll in the right corner of the screen. The poll will be open until the end of this week and we will what the majority of everyone would like to do!

If you have any questions you can post them in the comments section of this post.

Thanks everyone!
