Tuesday Check In - Week 8
Tuesday, February 26, 2008
Welcome to week 8!!
I have a LOT of things to announce today!!
So Lets get started!!!
~*~ TIVO/DVR ALERT!!! ~*~
This THURSDAY, February 28, 2008, our very own LORA from Less Of Me is going to be a guest on the Oprah Show discussing events leading to a midlife identity crisis. Head over to her blog and check out her comments about her experience on the Oprah show, she's had three posts about it so far with more to come and be sure to watch on Thursday to see her on TV! She looks so warm and friendly in her photo, I can’t wait to see that photo come to life on TV!!
NEW!! Some of you wanted a smaller HYC button for your blog, here you go! I’ll revise more when I have time! Here is what it looks like, the code is below and I’ve added it to the Buttons and Badges link!

An Update From Me!
A few weeks ago we realized that with the group growing in size we needed to revisit the “rules”. Just to make sure everyone is clear I am going to state it here once again.
If you are actively blogging and want to give and receive support, sign into Mister Linky on Tuesday’s.
If you sign into Mister Linky you will be considered “active” that week.
If you are active try to visit a few other blogs to give support
If you need support, please ask.
If you need a break, take one!! Don’t get derailed from your healthy life just to keep up with blogging or the challenge.
Don’t feel like you have to visit every blog in the blog roll, just visit a few of the people who’ve signed into Mister LInky in the current week. We said try to visit a few above your name and a few below your name, that seemed to work for most of you.
Don’t sacrifice things in your life for the challenge.
The challenge is and should always be about staying accountable and giving and receiving support.
I’ve edited the FAQ’s and other information as best as I could, I’m sure I missed a few places that said weekly check in is required; if you notice any errors kindly email me so I can correct them.
The bottom line is I want you to have fun. I want you to be healthy and work towards being the best YOU that you can be, with or without the challenge. This is meant to be a way to stay in touch with likeminded people who blog just like you do. We all have good weeks and bad weeks but sometimes we need to take a step back and look at things from a new light.
Lots of Love,
Diana

Cool - like the small button and the signing up with the Linky.
Wow! The team continues to grow!
I can't wait to watch Oprah on Wednesday! That is so cool! Thanks for the tip!
Not Wednesday CC, THURSDAY!!!
Just wan to thank you for the HYC, especially because of all the cool people we're meeting.
Happy to report another pound gone this week. Total since Jan 15 is 16 pounds and 14-1/2 inches out the window.
This was not a good week in weight ,oss for me. I didn't lose anything. However, I didnt gain and I belive my lack of loss is due to too much strength training. I may be building too much muscle at one time. We shall see.
I am glad to see so many new people on this team. Makes me feel like I am not alone.
Thanks for posting the reminders. I have been forgetting poor Mr. Linky--whoops!
My excuse? Spending too much time on all my favourite bloggers!!!
Looks like I'm a day behind -- lost 1.6 last week. D
This is an exciting week, lots of new participants, Lora on Oprah and someone hit a milestone!
Great job Diana keeping up with everything and everyone.
