Summer Challenge Final Results

A big thank you to everyone who took part in the 8 week summer challenge :) You were all great at sending me your weekly weigh in's (most of the time!) so that made my job a lot easier, and I have enjoyed hosting it. I was hoping someone would step up to host the next 8 week challenge, but sadly no-one has.

*DRUM ROLL*

Firstly spot prize time :) This week the challenge was to walk/jog/run 5k and send me the results or post on twitter. I had three people complete this: Marisol N (@missmarisol), Alexis A (@divaonadiet) and Dacia L (@dacialee33)  Seeing as all three of you made the extra effort to do that this week, I am going to award you all a spot prize, so please send me your address so I can sort that out for you - and congratulations.

Not sure what happened this week, maybe it was the overindulging from 4th July, as between us we managed a gain of 9.2lbs this week which was 0.30%.  This takes our total 8 week loss to 119.3lbs so a big pat on the back to you all.

Do you think you did enough this week to be the overall winner? Our weekly winner for this week was Alexis A (@divaonadiet) who lost an awesome 2.03% this week :) This is the third time in the challenge that she was our weekly biggest loser. Well done :)

*EVEN BIGGER DRUM ROLL*

Our overall winner goes to someone who lost weight EVERY week in the challenge and as a result they lost a whopping 8.73% in the challenge - this title goes to Sarah G (@sarah1807) Congratulations to you, you have done really really well - keep up the good work. Please send me your address so I can send your prize to you.

I have one final spot prize to award and that goes to Becky M (@OMGBeckster), she stayed the same weight for two weeks but every other week she lost weight, so the only other person who didn't have a gain the entire challenge. Please send me your address also so I can send you your spot prize.

Thanks again everyone for participating, and remember just because the challenge is over the journey isn't, keep up the good work and good luck getting to your goals - you can do it

Competition winner

Back in December I was contacted by Notonthehighstreet about a competition they were running. They basically gave me a virtual £300 and asked me to blog about what I would buy for friends and family back home (in England) as gifts. So I blogged away and you can read my blog post here.

Anyway, turns out I won the competition and all my family back home received their gifts, they were all super excited about them.

My brother loved his chocolate pizza and mug, he said the pizza was super yummy and didn't last long!

My mum thought her personalized record was awesome - Unfortunately it turned out they didn't have the top 40 when she was born, so I chose the record that was number 1 on the day I was born, as  a reminder of how I'm such an awesome daughter!

My sister received the personalized keyring with our names on, and is now using it on her keys to remind her of me each day :)

Jess and Bluey have been looking super cute and British in their new dog collars, and we often get told how cute they are (both the collars and dogs!)

Since these items arrived I have been back to the website and ordered my mum a gift for Mothers Day and a gift for my sister for her birthday. 

A reminder for those of you in the US with family back in the UK - Mothers Day is March 18 in the UK this year. You should definitely check out this site as there are so many super cool gifts on there that are unique and fun, and reasonably priced. Shipping costs and times are great, and some items even ship internationally too.
