Independence Weight Loss Challenge Week III Updates

Here are the updates for this past week on the challenge. If you don't see your name and are certain you emailed me your weight by this past Monday at Noon(CST), email me. I will search my Outlook by your name and locate the email. The finish line is near. This is the last week and you actually have a couple bonus days so keep working hard! You guys have really been doing great. Even if you have managed to hang on to your starting weight you are obviously not overdoing the stuffage and balancing the exercise to keep your weight steady. As always if you see in error in you weight percentage, contact me via email. I will look into it. I might inadvertently enter your weight incorrectly in the spreadsheet and cause a miscalculation.

*Important Info*

The challenge officially ends on Tuesday July 1st. I will not except weights after Wednesday July 2nd at Noon (CST). If you need to send your weight to me a couple days before due to races, traveling, or anything just email me.....as you know I am officially flexible.
