Hey Jess, I'm 16stone, 4 pounds so in pounds that's 228 (14 pounds to a stone - we're still doing old fashioned in the UK!)

P.S. You really do look very slim! Wahey to you :)

[trulyjess]

Awesome!:) thank you! And aww that's so sweet! Thank you!

[TheStarvingSoprano]

Hey Jess, have put my video up here now - can't wait! Em x

[trulyjess]

[thesiegster]

I am so half way there! :) I think you must have focused my mind to melt the tummy.

[trulyjess]

I'm so glad I can help!!! You are doing amazing!

[thesiegster]

I guess I am becoming a huge believer in Acai Berry and Wheat Grass...they seem to be workin!!

[julialuvssnowboardin]

Hello! could I join this challenge? I'll show you my feet on the scale or something in a private message, because I don't want to show my face or anything, either.

is it to late though?

[trulyjess]

Of course you can join! It's not too late and feet on scale is fine!!:)

[julialuvssnowboardin]

great, thanks! do you have to be overweight though? because i'm not overweight, but i'll still be "normal weight" if i lose 15 lbs, if that makes sense... :]

[trulyjess]

As long as you're still in the healthy weight range for your heights that's ok! I don't want to promote underweight!!!:)

[chicharwali]

hiya

i really want to join this challenge... i dont want to be showing my face or body online, can i show video/photo of my feet on the scale?? lolz... Im in the UK..

Is that okay?

[trulyjess]

That is absolutely fine! You do not have to show your face if you don't want to!!! :) Best of luck111

[sandia8383]

[UltimateAnonymity]

I want to join the challenge if it's not too late! :) Is my weigh in vid posted on 1/18 ok, or should i do another one?? Good luck everyone!

[trulyjess]

Hi! Of course you can join the challenge! And any WI after the 14th of january is perfect:)

[jesseakuh]

I'm hoping that tonight I can figure out how to record mysef on my video camera and then how to upload the video to youtube. Hopefully, I can make a few friends and gain a well needed supprt system.

[trulyjess]

aww of course! We're all here to support one another! I wouldn't be nearly as successful if it wasn't for youtube!!!

[fruitjuicyy]

What if all your contestants lose 15 pounds, what happens then lol

=]

im joining the challange yay;]

[trulyjess]

ahah it's the first two;)

[Tauris75]

I'm keen to join, I took video footage the other day of my weight so I'll make a vid either today or tomorrow with my start details.

Great Idea Jess :o)

[trulyjess]

YAY:) Thank you for joining:)

[thunderthighs43]

When is the deadline to have your video or picture in?

[trulyjess]

no dead line, it's really in your own interest! The later you put it, the more weight you have to lose in a short period of time!

[hursty810]

I love your hair in this vid!

[trulyjess]

aww thank you:)

[flabalicious]

So...I will post a video reply in the morning for this! I'M SO EXCITED! Can I show you my WW book from the 14th (when it all started) even though I didn't do a video then?

[trulyjess]

Of course you can!!! So excited to have you part of this!! xoxo

[NaeRae86]

Hey jess, I have a question...when we reach 15 lbs do we post a video response or just let you know?

[trulyjess]

Let me know! On April 30th I'll do a video asking you guys to do a video response with your current weight:) But make sure to send me a pic when you do get to that weight! To make sure you actually went to that weight at that time!

[trulyjess]

YAY! Sounds AWESOME! If you could (so I can keep track of everyone) post it as a response to this video? That would be a great help!!!:) COngrats on the loss!!! That's an awesome one! xoxo

[thursday2uk]

That is so wise to make part of the challenge the maintenance. I think a huge challenge for me would be maintenance or further loss...put what am I talking about--I should lose it first and then worry about the next step. I'll let you know on Saturday for the weigh-in, so I'll start this Saturday...my starting weight is right about where I am at now, but regardless, I want it to be official.

:) THANKS JESS!

[trulyjess]

haha you're cute! I wanted to make sure to have the maintenance in! It's not about fast weightloss! It's about a lifestyle change:)

For sure! Give me your stats on saturday! A video or picture would be so helpful!

[RunJGHueRun]

The video I responded with was from last week Thursday, January 15th. Hope it's legit enough! :-)

- Jordan

[trulyjess]

it's def. enough Jordan! Thanks for being part of this!

[thesiegster]

Maintain the 15 pounds through may 1st??  Hey little one, I plan on having lost about 50 by then ;);););)

We all love you for doing this...you are 73 shades of awesome!

[thursday2uk]

That's the spirit!!!!

[trulyjess]

he has AMAZING spirit!!

[trulyjess]

hahah you can lose more! Just got to have lost at least 15 by may 1st!

[sjconfessions]

you look gorgeous jess

[trulyjess]

Thanks sarah:D

[marleyinoc]

You look nice!

Hey, I was 273 around Christmas, I will weigh in today Should be about 250, so my quick and easy weight from cutting soda, mcdonalds and beer is already gone. Now the tough road to 220!!! I was shooting for losing it by May 1st anyway! (14 weeks about 2 lbs a week - as if) ;)

[trulyjess]

wow! That's amazing! WTG! You are fling in this challenge!!

[weightywonderwoman]

Your hair and makeup look amazing today!!

[ambielynn08]

hey jess- my hubby had a great idea of a short weigh in video actually on the scale instead of a pic because ppl could be deceiving with pics, so i will do my weigh ins with my face and then scale down to the marker on my digital scale....whoohoo he was really thinking- he wants me to win this prize i think!!!

[trulyjess]

PErfect! just make sure that your current weight is your initial weight!

[ambielynn08]

okay- my initial weight was 233, i am now 220 something, but i started on jan. 5th, will u want me to take a pic on the scale now with this weight, and at 15 lbs lost or use original weight, because u can tell in my first video that i have lost ten lbs.? jw

[trulyjess]

You can't use your weight from Jan 5th. I only started the challenge on the 14th, so it would be unfair! You need to start with your CURRENT weight!
