And Away We Go......

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

Well 2002 has started so I think we should all get started on our success

stories.....

For those of you who dont already know SWW has 3 moderators, Lyn (the

founder), Connie, and myself. If at any time you need to contact any of us

you could email us at Serious-Weight-Watchers-owner and all

3 of us will get the message.

We have two list here at SWW, the main one (this one), and one designed just

for our journal posting. You could find that one at http://groups.yahoo

com/group/Serious-Weight-Watchers-Journals/

The three of us have thought of some fun things that will help keep us

focused, determined, and authors of success stories for 2002. Some of which

we are going to introduce now and some of which will be introduced to you

later on. A few things we want to introduce now are:

1.) Topics of the Days/Weeks - We did this for a while in 2001, but it is

going to be a permenant feature in 2002. Connie will be beginning these

today (I think). If you have any ideas for topics please email them to us

at Serious-Weight-Watchers-owner with the subject TOPIC

SUGGESTION.

2.) Birthday Club - This is just going to be a fun way to bond the group

and to help people celebrate each other's birthdays. What we are going to

do is post a everyone's birthdays to the calendar so it send annoucements

and also to thos participating, they will get a list a the beginning of each

month with that month's birthdays and people's email addresses so you can

send people ecards and such. If you are interested in participating in the

birthday club please email me at tgregor@... with the following

3.) Surprise Journals - This will be happening on the journal list

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Serious-Weight-Watchers-Journals/ Each day I

will pull 2 participants names out of a hat and post their names, those two

people will post their journals for that day. This is a great way to stay

motivated with your journal posting because you never know when you are

going to be picked to post. So, to enter this please join the journal list

and then email me at tgregor@... with JOURNAL PARTICIPANT int

he subject line.

4.) Weigh In database - This is more of a reminder and a reintroduction but

we have a progress chart at http://groups.yahoo

com/group/Serious-Weight-Watchers/database?method=reportRows & tbl=1 Where you

can enter your weekly stats and then at the end of the week Connie adds up

the totals for the group andpost the group total in the other database at

http://groups.yahoo

com/group/Serious-Weight-Watchers/database?method=reportRows & tbl=2
