Everyone is to start the WISH challenge at zero pounds Loss and....

earns clippies for each 5 pounds lost while participating in the challenge. I have earned a 5 pound clippie since starting the challenge but I note my total loss under that clippie (total is 30). I worked so hard at it -- that I want to be sure to get credit for it!

I know that so many others have worked hard at losing weight before 'officially' taking this challege --- give credit where credit is do --- add your total loss under your WISH clippie

I think that Kelsie has come up with the only fair way to do this -- and I hope it continues this way. (everyone starts the challenge at zero and only earns clippies for the weight lost during the challenge) But, I also get encouragement from seeing everyones 'total loss' before and during the challenge. I hope more people will add this info to their signatures.

Thank you! I was doing mine wrong! I think I fixed it.....

You know, Jody, it seemed like just as soon as I took the challenge my weight loss stopped dead LOL, I didn't think I was ever going to earn that first 5 puond loss clippie. Now, I've earned the 10 pound loss clippie.

I've lost 32.5 pounds since January but only 12.5 since taking the challenge. Oh well, unfortunately I still have almost 70 pounds to lose, so I will eventually earn that 25 pound loss clippie.

It would have been fun to get to count my weight loss before taking the challenge, but I think I really appreciate my clippie even more now

Good idea, I'm going to add my total loss pre WISH challenge to my signature

I had only lost a pound or 2 which I promptly gained back before starting the challenge so My figures are actually accurate!! I am so happy that since taking the challenge I have FINALLY gotten serious about loosing the weight!!!

And you are doing so well, Holly. You are such a great part of our WISH support group

Hey I think that's a great idea. I started WW on 9/30/03 and to date have lost 31.15 lbs. I'm like you nativetxn, as soon as I started WISH I seemed to plateau or at least really slow down. But that's ok, we're still losers and that's what counts.

I like this idea. I had lost 6 lbs before starting WISH, then hit a major plateau. I found myself getting very discouraged because I couldn't count that weight here, yet I'd worked very hard to lose it. I think this is a good way to acknowledge my total loss, plus indicate the loss I've had with the support of all you wonderful WISHers. I really do like the idea of the WISH clippie reflecting the WISH weight loss because this WISH board is such a very special place to be. I know I wouldn't have made it through that plateau if I were doing this on my own. This board is awesome!

 

[nativetxn]

I added the total weight I've lost since 1/9 to my signature. I feel better now

 

[perfectmatch300]

Ok, once I figure out how to get the words where I want them I'll add the total loss. What I just tried simply wasn't working the way I wanted it to. Right now I have to get ready to go out & exercise!

I can't remeber if I Took the challenge before I knew what my weight loss was or after I weighed in my first week. I think I came in after my weigh in. So because I'm not too sure (senior moments!) I"ll go back to the DiWish challenge and hope I can add the 5 pound clippie back this Thursday!!!

 

[Beanie]

Well, I added my total loss since it is 1 pound more than my clippie!
