Week 1

Subject: Day 1 Welcome to day 1 and week 1 of our fall challenge.  We are at 40 people and still growing daily.  If you know of others who want in send me their info or send them mine so we can get initial measurements!

If we don't have a time for initial measurements this week or next please let me know what works for you! Once I have all measurements I will send out fun stats.

As a reminder check out my blog or FB page for more info, daily inspirations and food ideas.  www.stephaniewinters.blogspot.com and www.facebook.com/stephaniewinters30

I am also in the process of organizing a group workout/potluck, if you have ideas please send them my way!

Here is our challenge info:
Fall Challenge
Initial Weigh in/pinches - September 4th-10th (mandatory if doing the challenge)
Mid point measurements -  September 26th-October 2nd (optional)
Final Weigh in/pinches - October 16-20th (mandatory, even if you don't think you succeeded)
