PHAT - Preparing for Health and Transformation
"Because we're cool, but also fat"
January 9th - June 29th
Okay everyone, Jane and I have put our heads together and come up with a sure-fire solution to all our weight-loss issues! (well...maybe that's saying a lot...). We're just both tired of feeling bad all the time. Anyone else out there with us? It seems like every Christmas we're all sitting around the table talking about what bad shape we're in and how it's worse this year than last and blah blah......and we're only in our 30's! If this pattern continues we'll all be in hover chairs like on the movie "Wallee" by 2015.
We will have a "Facebook Phattys" group page for encouragement and support. We will make this a "secret" group that only group members will see any postings or pictures. So, feel free to post before and after pictures or continuing progress pictures. Discretion please, NO NUDIES. Yes, this is competition, but we also want to be a support group for each other in our desire for health and transformation.
So, here are the "rules" for The PHAT Year:
1. Because this group will be mainly to encourage lifestyle change WITH the weight loss - the number one rule will be - nothing is allowed that can be harmful to your body, including but not only:
a. diet pills
b. surgery
c. crazy diets
d. amputation
2. No extreme fasting for non-spiritual purposes.
3. NO CHEATING. (Revelations 21:8)
4. Once Monthly "Virtual" weigh-ins (end of the month) with weight to be emailed to the facilitator (because NO ONE wants to post their weight for everyone....). My email address is: amyschaffner@cox.net This will be on the honor system, people. Please refer to rule number 3.
5. $52.95 dues need to be paid up front so as to have funds for prizes.
- Starting weight emailed by January 9th.
- You will need to have the money in by Jan 22, 2012 in order to compete.
Winners will be chosen using a system similar to "The Biggest Loser", with percentages of weight loss showing the top three.This makes it fair to all: men, women, and pygmies. Every month there will be a monthly winner, and at the end a grand prize. Money will be broken down as such:
Using an example of 20 people (30 people have so far shown interest, so this may be more or may be less)
20 people at $50.00 a piece = $1000.00
$300.00 to be paid out at $50.00 increments to monthly winner
$500.00 Grand prize
$200.00 Runner up
(We are still working on the set-up for the money system. We are hoping to use Paypal, which means that 2.95 will go to paypal fees.)
To sign-up:
1. Send a message to Jane or Amy saying you want to be added to the group page.
2. Email your start weight to Amy
3. Send in your money.
We are excited to be on this journey with you in preparing for health and transformation. We're not saying it's going to be easy, just remember that with man it is impossible but with God all things are possible, and by June you will look hot in a swimsuit. So just get over yourself and sign-up!
