OK, round 2 of biggest loser starts this Sunday, May 31. Most of you have told me you are in already and some of you are wondering why I am emailing you right now. If you are in, weigh yourself Sunday, write the number down and keep it to yourself. The following Sunday, June 7 send me an email to johnmeganod@yahoo.com with your percentage of your original weight, no later than noon.

Here is an example - you weigh 200 lbs on day 1, and you lose 5 lbs in the first week (195 divided by 200), you are 97.5% of your original weight.

The lowest % wins the prize of the week(usually about a $50 value).

Will post the results Sunday nights on the following blog http://odbiggestlosers.blogspot.com/

Just $20 for the 3 month contest - send me a check if you are in to:

John O'Donnell
5512 N. Parkside
Chicago, IL 60630

Just let me know if you have any questions, good luck.

Thanks,

John

Nice job Aileen!!

Sorry for the delay. I promise to post same day results next Sunday. We have 18 contestants, actually we have a new-comer this week, so 19.. Hopefully we will have all %'s for next week. If all 19 people give their percentage next week everybody will win ten thousand dollars.

Aileen wins again!! 87.7%

5. Sean McManamy 93.37%

7. Megan O'Donnell 95.18%
8. Brett Ferullo 100%

The consensus is we are going to lay off the prizes for a couple weeks and see how it goes.

Your assignment for this week is to lose weight and to post on the blog what has been working well for you so far on your diet/exercise plan (or just send me an email w/ details and I can post).

I will go first. I try my best to work out 3x a week. Also, I eat a huge fruit plate every afternoon with two pieces of string cheese, and don't really have desserts after dinner unless it is a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich or a Weight Watchers sundae.

I am looking forward to your responses - I need some new ideas to mix things up here.

Thanks, JOD
