The Challenge
Welcome to Tales from the Scales. Are you loving this new look? I am! I feel like that girl in the middle of the banner, leaping through the air. Well, maybe just barely hopping once or twice. Either way, I'm very excited and I hope you are too!
Along with the new look, we have a new challenge and here are the details.
What's the challenge?
Look Great in 2008 Challenge.
Don't wait for New Year's Resolutions, start the year out looking and feeling great!
When does it begin and end? Wednesday, September 19 - Tuesday, January 8th
Can I join at anytime? ABSOLUTELY.
What do I need to do? Every Tuesday - weigh yourself. If you have
a blog, write about your losses, gains, successes, frustrations. Then
come back to Tales from the Scales and sign Mr. Linky, linking back to
your weekly blog post. We all need a little accountability, this is a
great way to have it.
Do I have to weigh in every Wednesday? Weigh-in on whatever day works best for you. Just report to Tales from the Scales on Wednesday.
Do I have to have a blog? Nope. You can type in your losses/gains next to your name every week. However, perhaps consider starting a blog. They're free and journaling while losing weight is awesome.
How do I get on your blog roll? Just e-mail your blog name and url to Beth at scaletales@gmail.com.
(please note: if you find yourself not participating in the challenge,
please e-mail me to have your blog removed from the blogroll. Thanks!)
What if I have information I want to share? Please share any
thoughts, recipes, product reviews and meaningful blog posts with me.
You can e-mail me anything. We'd love for this site to feel like your
home, so get your running shoes on and get comfortable! More than likely
we will share whatever you send us! Just keep it clean and pertinent!
Do you happen to have any advice for me for this challenge? Why yes I do. Take your before picture now. You will never regret it. When I look at mine, I throw my donut in the garbage and I don't even go back and get it later.
Do I have to be on Weight Watchers to join this challenge? Oh goodness no. Do whatever works for you.
Can I put a button on my blog promoting this challenge? I certainly don't want to keep all of this healthy goodness to myself! Goodness yes. The codes are below!

What happens if I lose weight? Well, first of all, you'll fit your
clothes better and you WILL FEEL AMAZING. I guarantee it. You'll
smile more and laugh often - a happier person you will be!
That's not what I mean. What do YOU do if I lose weight? OH! I
will laugh and clap and sing and yell! AND I will give you a
congratulatory weight loss buttons that you can have on your blog
showing off your incredible successes. You deserve it! I swear you do!
