NOW, you show me YOURS!!!!  Email them to me at amyschaffner@cox.net and we can keep each other accountable to our specific goals!

And the March Winner is......

And March's Winner is......drum roll please........

Matt Sandifer!!!!

Seriously kids, Matt is kicking all of our booties.  We all need to step it up if we're going to give him a run for OUR money!! hahaha, get it...

And in second place for March is our one and only

Maegan Herman!!!!

way to go Maegan!!!  Maegan, unfortunately, wins nothing but our admiration.  And I DO admire you....sigh.

So, how's April going for you so far?  Do you need a boost?  Read the last post again and GET ON IT.  

And for a special incentive for April to be a great restart for most of us (because everybody seems to be struggling), we're going to give the winner for April a one pound advantage in May!!!  So, if you lose 10 pounds in April and WIN, you will actually have lost 11 (get it??)!

Our PHAT challenge of the week is going to stay the same this week, because for some reason I just don't think we've all done this, and it is SO important!  How will you know if you've gotten where you want to be, if you never DECIDE where you want to be?  

In order to keep you more accountable to your goals, why don't you do the weekly PHAT challenge and email it to me?  That way I can help you more specifically in YOUR goals and objectives.  I'm going to post mine here for the whole world to see (because, of course the whole world read our blog...) and you can keep me accountable as well!

April is here, guys and gals.  If we don't kick it up a notch we'll be going through another bathing suit season HATING to take our kids swimming.  We can do this.
