Spring Focus : Group check in week 6 of 8
General June 22nd, 2010Spring Focus is advancing - some people have had great results, some have had decent results, and a few have not really been with the program (so it’s like normal life, right?). This was the lightest percentage of check-ins since we started - maybe next week I’ll organize myself to give you another day to check in, but this week with my schedule that wasn’t possible.
Meeting our goals together
Yet again, most people who are participating in Spring Focus are benefiting from the group accountability to motivate them to help meet their goals at least partially : 72% are meeting their goals this week
Weight loss for the week
Weekly weight loss for those reporting in was 14 pounds, but averaged between those reporting in it’s -1.25 pounds per person (and there are a few people who report in on goals who don’t report weight, so that actually drags numbers down in that kind of analysis). Anything that can get to a steady consistent weight loss is great in my book, and so that -1.25 pound average is exactly what I’d love to see in my own weight loss over time.
Cumulative weight loss in 6 weeks has topped 100 pounds!
Again, some of the folks haven’t even checked in, so it’s a great result: 101 pounds in 6 weeks for the 11 participants who reported in by midnight Monday! Woo-hoo! Three of those are from people who’ve each lost more than 15 pounds (one more than 20!).
It’s focus time, people!
There are still two weeks left. Even if you haven’t done much to move the numbers to date, two weeks is a solid time to do so, and it’s a smart time to start - imagine how happy you’ll be to be at the 4th of July BBQ a few pounds lighter or just knowing your eating is under control & that you’ve been exercising recently. If you think you’d be helped by joining for the last two week, just leave a comment and see how accountability helps you.
Survey to Spring Focus participants hopefully will go out end of the week or this weekend - and will also be available to others reading the blog.

Thanks so much for doing this. I was away from the computer for nearly all of last week so I missed the check-in but I’ll be ready for next week. How fantastic that some people are having amazing results. I’m excited to see what I can do over the next 2 weeks

I know this group has helped me and I’ll be part of another one if you do it. I’m hoping to get down to “just obese” by Labor Day and I know I’ll do better if there’s some accountability.

That’s so weird you found a mouse the next day.
I never caught mine (I have a couple of traps out).. ugh I hate them.
Awesome job with this group! I read such good things about it on other people who are involved- how it keeps them going

Okay, I admit it, I am dead-weight on this challenge. The last month and a half has been my worst since starting my latest and last diet. But maybe this also means I picked the right thing to work on for the challenge since it seems to be such a struggle for me. I am going to buckle down now. About time!

Great report, Sarah. Again, thank you so much for organizing this. It has really helped me get back on the right path. I’m excited for to get below 190 this week. I’d love to get there by July 4th.

that’s “for YOU to get below 190″

Two weeks left! Eeek! I’m excited.
Two weeks is enough time to do some damage… and earn a purse or two
