Its up to you which day you actually do your weigh in. For instance Week 1 runs from 4/27 - 5/3...you can weigh in on any of those days, you can even weigh in on 5/4 or 5/5, you set your own weigh in date. The thing is that you have to have your weight for that week posted on 5/5. My weigh in days are Saturdays (I do WW) So every saturday I go in and post my weight so I dont forget. So for instance week 1 on 5/2 I would post my weight, On saturday 5/9 I'd post my Week 2 weight. Alot of people just weigh in on the day the weight is due. Some people weigh in a week early so they are sure not to forget. Its all up to you and what fits your schedule. Just remember the deadline, and that once you post a weight for the week you cant go in and change it.

Make sense now? I hope that cleared up some confusion for you, if not let us know!

Ok got it.....i just wasnt sure if we had a special day we all did it or just the deadline for us to post it....ok cool. i'll do saturday then, so i dont get confused. works for me....i think i'll be doing my initial weigh in closer to the challenge starting so maybe it'll be a more accurate starting weight for me (TOM has begun so it'll throw my numbers off for a feew days)....

thanks for being patient with me and helping me understand everything. looking forward to starting this challenge.

Thats what we are here for!!

I was looking around this section to get a clearer idea of what happens as I intend to join this challenge. I saw a thread with starting photos and measurements, is this something you do at the beginning of every challenge? Do you do it again at the end of a challange? Are photos sufficient or are measurements required also (I will have to harrass the person who borrowed my tape measure a month ago!)

i must have missed that thread about measurements and pics...i took some before pics a while back before hubby got home in january...but nothing's changed since then....will have to remember to take some new ones. i've been meaning to update my measurements too. thanks for the reminder. i use my cloth measuring tape from my sewing box ;) lol

We did a thread with pictures and measurements last challenge because it coincided with the "Watch Me Bloom" theme. We won't have one this round.

oh well...i think i will still do before/after pics and measurements just to see how far i have come since the start of the challenge....mabe do measurements every two weeks or so during the challenge to see some small changes that could help keep me motivated ;)

Can I still get in on the challenge?
Vicki

Thanks
 

Thanks. My goal is to lose 60 lbs so I need a lot of pushing to help keep me on track.
Vicki:carrot:

yes i need to update my blog...i have my april goals on there and my daily workouts...and once i finish my walk (which i'm about to do) then i'll update my 20-something april challenge log and then my 3fc blog too.....and once i do my initial TBL weigh in - will do the measurements too...and make a new blog post for TBL weigh-ins and measurements and such....so i'm more accountable ;)

Is it a requirement that we have to post before/after pics? I'm not really comfortable with that idea yet but, will if I have to.

Nellagirl--That was done for the previous challenge. It won't be needed for this one. Besides it was a choice then too.
