You Can Be A Winner!
Where was I? Oh, yes, that's right. I promised a prize to twenty-five lucky participants. The prize? A super-cool and extremely-handy 20-ounce ClubMom water bottle!
The requirements are simple. You must:
1) Love this blog. (Or at least pretend.)
2) Declare your love, enthusiasm and admiration for The Amazing Shrinking Mom blog in your own blog, including a link to my blog. (Or just put up a link and say you had to do it to win a prize.)
3) Add The Amazing Shrinking Mom blog to your blogroll. (I'll reciprocate and add you to mine.)
4) Email me and let me know you've followed steps 1-3 and I'll send the first twenty-five participants an absolutely free ClubMom water bottle! (Include your mailing address, which I will, of course, guard with my life and then shred and eat when I'm done. Paper = fiber = okay for diet.)
What?! You don't have a blog? (How do you live with yourself?!) That's okay. We can work with that. Instead of a blogging proclamation, how about emailing a link to The Amazing Shrinking Mom and a recommendation to at least five of your friends? (Send me a copy of the email as proof.)
The first twenty-five participants win a water bottle . . . and then you, too, can spend the majority of your time in the bathroom where you can finally start reading that summer novel you have sitting by your bed.
I love a good link slut. You go girl! I'm gonna send this link to 20 of my closest friends - no water bottle necessary 'cause I am trying to de-clutter and only drink coffee, which doesn't really taste good in a water bottle, clubmom logo or no clubmom logo.

Ok, I did all those a long time ago. Does that mean I get two?

I shan't ever leave my Nalgene bottle (great for hot yoga where the 115 degree temperature melts other plastics into one's water over time)!
I DO love your blog, no pretendsies.

Done, girlie!
Posted by: Jennifer | July 07, 2006 at 12:18 PM
I did it! I added you and I even posted about your today on MY blog. All four of my readers will read about PMS. Love that post!
PS I am shrinking, too. I have lost 12# on the Fat Flush Plan (where you flush all of the bad stuff in your body) it rocks! I feel soooo much better!

I’m a complete sucker for a contest. ;)
You are already in my blog rolls (she said ‘rolls’….:-P ) I have posted on my blog about you and I think we’ve already established that your blog rocks my world.

Howdy! I haven't been ignoring you, just out having fun and then when we got back our scale battary was dead and so, no check in. It uses 9volt. We have all the other type of battaries, but not 9 volt.
But since the get go you've been on my list. Is that different then blogrolls or bloglines. I'm so confused!

I take water pills. I spend all my time in the bathroom now. :(

Oh I have so done all of that already. Just like me to be a trend-setter isn't it? There she goes, that Kvetch, ahead of her time yet again. It's exhausting being me. :-)

YEA! I love it here at The Amazing Shrinking Mom. I wish I could shrink. I come here for a boost -- if you can do it, maybe I can too.
I've got you in my blogroll, and here's my post:

Now that I've got to overcome my recent knee injury, I'll have to focus more on eating well than exercising. Bummer. :(

Wow, I am up for a challenge. Water bottle or not.. I will get back here as soon as I get this blog started.. I AM an incredible shrinking mom!! More to follow in my blog.

I'm not trying to win a bottle...I just found your blog and will be a devoted fan (uh...maybe stalker would be a better term!). Congrats on the 29.4 lbs! I am going to work very hard to follow your lead.

Posted by: Lisa | July 10, 2006 at 11:12 AM
first time ever on your blog. I know nothing about blogs. I am interested in knowing how you lost the 29#s. Please let me know. I will be reading it from now on.
Posted by: Gina | July 10, 2006 at 11:26 AM
I too am on a "lifestyle change" I have lost over 40 lbs since February. I just thought I would let you know that one of the major things that has helped me lose weight is not eating past 7 pm. It is a suggestion that those out there who are in the same postion could try and see if it works for you!
Posted by: Kendall | July 10, 2006 at 11:29 AM
I am a member, 38 with 3 children. I need one of the water bottles!
I am getting that middle aged spread w/love handles. Gotta work it out! lol!

I am really loving this blog, I'm a dietitian, I'm approaching 40 and my weight, even with all my knowledge has crept up on me the last 2 years. I teach a class at a community college and I think I may have discovered the road to success in what you are doing. "Naked Dieting".
I know my students would be oh so happy to see, hear and experience with me the trials of trying to lose 25 pounds. I think I'm going to try it.
