2013 New Year's Author Challenge Results

Drum Roll please!
It's time to reveal the grand total of everyone's results!
Everyone's Final Results are:
Melissa Mayhue: Wow... 11 pounds! Congratulations!!! I stayed the same this week. Walked three times. So, my GRAND TOTAL for the 6 weeks is 5 pounds. [Ugh. It's on there with SuperGlue...] Hoping for better news by July and wishing all my fellow dieters all the best! While I'd obviously LIKE to lose more, I hate depressing myself by not hitting the darn goal. :-) So... TEN pounds by July. And any more than that I'll feel like I'm extra special.

Annie Adams: I'm pleased to announce that after this hellish last week, filled with the fastest of fast food, and high calorie treats from well-meaning folks, I didn't gain one pound. In fact, I think that once the swelling in my legs and well--the rest of me goes down from work, I may have actually lost a pound. My goal will be 12 lbs by July.

Marie Sterbenz: I am down one pound and my total for the six weeks is four pounds. I plan to keep going. I thank all of you for helping to keep each other motivated. I'm hoping to lose 15 lbs by July. I am also keeping it low.

Stanalie Flecther: I’m down a total of 5 for the 6 week period. But the habits are there and that was the other thing I wanted to accomplish. I’m hoping for a great report in July too. Good work and see you all in 6 months.

Judy Baker: I've been working out during the week day and this 6th last week was a surprise. I actually looked forward to stretching and sweating my muscles. I've been taking Sat. & Sun off and going back to my workout on Mondays, but since my hubby is out of town, I got up this morning and worked out. Crazy, huh? Thanks to all of you for jump starting me with my workout and developing a habit, which was overdue to a downhill body. Looking forward to out 6 months checkin.

Mary Martinez: I lost 1 lb this week, did my regular 10 minutes walking per week day. And my GRAND TOTAL lost for the 6 weeks is 11 lbs! I’m very excited. Thank you all. I have 14 pounds to lose before our July Check in!

We have decided to have a follow up/check in July 8, 2013, to see how everyone has done. So please mark your calendars and drop back in. Maybe we'll have some good recipes too!
