Christmas Losers Challenge - Week 1

[tonyacapricorn]

Nevermind below! A lot op people put their height on their personal page--- so I found my answer! Thanks! And this is a great inspiration to me as I follow along!

[tonyacapricorn]

Would you mind asking people for their height? I would like to find the participant that matches me most in height and weight and kind of follow that person as a virtual partner. I know this is more work... so I understand if you can't. Thank you!!!!

[bpurchase21]

Jess I can't believe how much you and your sis look alike. I came across her channel and almost thought it was you..

[msixpackabs]

Jess, the limit has to be 1min...OMG girl, make it 1 min. I saw 100 and .... OMG...I hope you are ok...

[silvermags1]

yes I agree!

[hnybr89]

o ya i agree too.

[allisonpacino]

I posted a video response ,but from some reason it's not showing up for me.

[silvermags1]

it may not show up on the direct bar under Jess's vid, but if you click 'view all' you might see it. Also try uploading it then choosing that vid and posting it as a response rather than uploading as a direct response. Just two ideas as the same thing happened to me and those were the probs.

[allisonpacino]

I tried to do that too and now my video isn't even showing in the list to add...I looked through all of the videos here and mine's not there...Oh well...I tried!

[hnybr89]

ya that has happened to me before too...she has to accept it then it will show up.

[hnybr89]

hey i was also going to say i kept uploading the video share thing or w/e its called...till i was no longer able to attach it to her video then she accepted it and it showed up...wow i hope that made sense it did in my head hha

[fat2slender]

Hey truly jess, I uploaded my video! got my stuff fixed so I can be in this competition! I am going to have so much fun! been working out and having good eating days...

[TravMcTavish]

Jess Do you need to have a photo or video proof of your weight every week or just in the first and last one?

I'm traveling for 2 weeks so will find it hard to do a scale shot every week. I will find a way if it is essential though.

[msixpackabs]

OMG, Jess, can't hardly wait this week's task. It was fun to do the 1st one and guess what...I treated it as a promise I made and kinda kept.

[greetz79]

HI i was wondering if i was entered intot he contest i had my entry video on time but it was my first video so i did not know about the video response so i just commented your video last week saying to look at it ... but i have my second video and i know how to video respond but i wont do that if im not in ont he challenge.

[trulyjess]

Hey there! I`m sorry but I wont be able to accept! Reason being that I already said no to others in your situation. The video had to be in response. I will have another challenge after this one!

[fat2slender]

hey jess, my camera is messed up and I don't think that I am going to have my video made before this SAT, so I was wondering if I would be still disqualified if I emailed you my starting weight and all that...

[trulyjess]

Hi love! Sorry but I need to have a video response. That's how I will record all the weights. I need to disqualify whoever cannot place a video. If I start making accomodation for one, I need to do it for 200 more. I'm sorry love!

[190Fat2Slim130]

omg still don't know why my video response is not on here did i screw up?

[190Fat2Slim130]

hey Jess hop you saw my video response if not on here you can click on me, i was gonna try to upload it again but i know i posted under :video response"

[msixpackabs]

OMG Jess, I spent so much time watching videos and I definitely pity you. Geez....Hang on in there Jess...hang on in there

[princessfairyfunk]

Oh no!! I havent had internet for about a week now and I've missed the challenge.. I really want to do a christmas challenge and I'm so gutted I missed my chance :(

[hypeer12]

[trulyjess]

I'm french canadian:) Montreal. Quebec is where my accent is from!

[190Fat2Slim130]

lol did you get my video response i don't see my video on her ear yet lol

[trulyjess]

Please place it as a response. I have it as approved right away now. I need to have it as a response to have you in the challenge!

[SheSoHeavy]

I'm so glad so many people have responded to week one already! I hope everyone sticks with it!! THANK YOU Jess for motivating so many and taking so much time out of your life for us :) *hugs*!

[LosingtheFat]

[leraloses]

Hey Jess,

Quick question. I just weighed in this morning @ my WW meeting. I have the weigh in sticker in my book. Is it ok to show that in the video...or should it be on a scale at home?

[trulyjess]

Yes you can:) I trust weightwatchers:)

[Sikstie]

Do we have to give you the weight in pounds ? I'm used to Kgs but I can change the scale's parameters ...

[k191073]

Good Morning Jess - Do we have to weigh in on Sundays since the contest officially began on a Sunday? My next weigh in isn't until Thursday. If you would prefer for us to weigh in on Sundays' during this contest I would have to show you my weight from 10/29/2009. I wasn't sure which day you actually wanted us to weigh.

[trulyjess]

I explained in the video and on the side bar that you can weigh in ANYTIME during that week!!

[coquinat]

When we write down our goals on paper, we're more likely to achieve them :D

Thanks so much for running the challenge I know it will be a lot of work for you, Jess.

[trulyjess]

YEs:) So true:) You are welcome! YEs it will be but it's worth it!

[90toathinnerme]

I am SO excited to start this! We threw a HUGE bowl of leftover Halloween candy straight in the garbage last night... didn't feel bad about it at all! Cleaned out our fridge, organized the cupboards, went grocery shopping........ WE'RE READY!!!!

[trulyjess]

WAY TO GO! That's AWESOME!!! XOXO

[taramariel]

so excited to see yours and everyone's videos. you are SOO motivational and inspiring :)

I don't do youtube videos (yet!) but I am going to follow your challenge on my own and keep track for myself.. and do EVERYTHING you ask us to do in the vids :)

You're the best!

[trulyjess]

Thank you so much for saying that! That's so sweet! Yes PLEASE follow:) XOXO

[sheilachristine]

Thanks Jess! I am so stinkin excited! Will post my starting weight vid hopefully tomorrow. My camera has gone in cognito.. which is NOT a good thing!

[trulyjess]

haha ok! Thank you so much for being part of this!

[Chemchoumi]

Great thing you are doing here.. Motivating people including me. I'm not in the challenge but I am follow you and all the other on this great journey... Greetz from holland

[trulyjess]

Aww thank you for still following! XOXO

[Chemchoumi]

And good luck tomorrow on the first day on your new challenge at work... Keep us posted how that turns out to be... Lovely for sure!!

[jthanz87]

thank you so much for doing this! ill be watching and following as many of the challengers as i can and use that for my own motivation. im not in the challenge but ill be following either way......... :)

[trulyjess]

So glad to hear that:) XOXO

[mabeb03]

Oh my! Im going to do this Challenge.. though Im too late to enter but that doesnt matter. Its a great way to lose weight by doing it with others even though we are far away! Here we go guys! Good Luck to all!

[trulyjess]

aww thanks for still following!! THe real prize is to lose weight, so not being part of the challenge isn't technically that bad! YOU CAN DO THIS! And we're still there for you!

[learningmoderation]

Yay--I'm so excited!! I wrote down my reasons a few minutes ago...Going to go take a shower, etc. and then get started on my video.

[trulyjess]

yay! Can't wait to see it!

[msixpackabs]

do we have to write things?....for me it would be very motivational to just make a small before and "fake after" picture. I am doing it to look hot. Just got out of H4H challenge...no longer in the obesity range (barely in the overweight one).

[trulyjess]

Well you don't have to do the task, you just won't be entered to win weekly prizes:)

[dieselmota]

Hey, make your fake before and after picture and that can be your card if you write words on it too, like "I'm doing this to look like this and not like that~" This way you can be motivational for yourself and complete jess's task.

[SusieZeeland]

good morning jess

thank you for this video& projekt iam so exciting even i'm not officially in this projekt

tomorrow i will buy a cut card to write down all the reason .....

happy greeting from germany susie

[trulyjess]

YAY! Can't wait to know you'll still be aboard!

[mollybcutie2000]

Very Exited about the Challege :o)

[trulyjess]

YAY:) me too!

[alycat25]

It's funny, I had a friend who when I told that my husband and I were going to hide the Halloween candy from my son(so he couldn't just grab it whenver he wanted and we can monitor how much he eats of it) AND ourselves because we are trying to eat healthier, she said not to bother until after the holidays.

THEN we got to talking about how if we waited until after the holidays, we'd have what, a few months of the year that we actually attempted to be healthy. Makes NO sense. We had a good laugh

[trulyjess]

EXACTLY! THere's no day like TODAY!

[alycat25]

LOL and I fricken forgot to put in there what I planned to do to make it a great week so I had to add an anotation or whatever. I WILL get better with this stuff LOL I swear. Also, this video just came in under 3:00 mins, barely so next time I will make it brief, sorry about that.

[trulyjess]

lol it's all good! Just read everything before doing the video:P

[alycat25]

When you said put it in the sidebar as well, did you mean post a pic in the sidebar of the scale weight? Sorry I was a little confused about that LOL I have a picture of it just not sure how to put it in the sidebar.

[trulyjess]

Just put the weight in numbers on the side bar.

[TheRealMelissaLynn]

Jess,

I will upload my first vieo tomorrow ON nov.1st.

if this is too late, just let me know and i won't make anymore.

[trulyjess]

I'm sorry but I won't be able to accept the video! The acceptance video responses were closed!

[TheRealMelissaLynn]

is it too late to join?

also, i think i noticed a slight french accent... where are you from? I'm only curious because i love the french culture! lol

[trulyjess]

Yes it is! I'm so sorry!

Yes it is french! I'm originally from Montreal:)

[nirvanachick84]

Can i show u my weight watcher's weigh in book instead of the number on the scale?

[trulyjess]

Yes:)

[Slim4Iife]

Woohooooooooooooo, Thank you Jess!

Great tasks for this beginning!

New month, new things.

Cheers,

Mari

[trulyjess]

YAY:)

[k191073]

Jess your so amazing thank you again for always being there and encourging us all. I'm so excited to see everyone's progress. I did have one question regarding the weigh in. I'm in TOPS and our weight recorder writes our weight down in our weight book every week can I use that to show you my weight during my weekly video.

Cheers! Katherine

[trulyjess]

Yes you can use that. :)

[OperationRightNTight]
