Hi gang!  Boy, it was obvious that EVERYONE had 212 DETERMINATION this week, as the final tally showed 4 teams w/in 1 TENTH of the winners losing percentage!  As we settle into the "grind" of this weekly lifestyle change, we can see how important that 212 FOCUS is going to be!!  I am SOOOOO proud of our 212 family, as almost EVERYONE either posted a loss, or maintained!!  Every pound lost is a victory over not only our bodies, but our MINDS as well!  These parents are PUSHING THROUGH the obstacles & MAKING the changes necessary to create healthier lives for themselves AND their children!!!  Way to go, guys!!!  Our 212 "BIGGEST LOSER" couple this week was Ray & I, with another 3 lbs. lost.  We won by only .06 lbs.!!! I am so PROUD of Ray, as he finally broke the 220 mark by hitting 218 this week!  He doesn't remember the last time he was below 220 ... probably before our 1st son came along 12 years ago!! GREAT JOB, honey!!   David & Kristi (2.8 lbs. lost) (www.kristi-david-weightloss.spaces.live.com) & Mike & Michelle  (2.9 lbs. lost)(www.mmullins94.spaces.live.com) were right on our heals with a .68% loss this week!  I want to mention the two other teams that were in the .6% range as well, Frank & Abby (2.4 lbs. lost - .64%) (www.thejimenezmenace.spaces.live.com) & Scott & Frances (3 lbs. lost - .61%) (www.scottandfrances.spaces.live.com).  With the losses so tight, I felt they deserved recognition as well! CONGRATULATIONS, again, to our ENTIRE 212 Family, for hanging tough for yet ANOTHER week in this journey!!!  May you each tackle this upcoming week with renewed  212 determination & enthusiasm!!
