Description:
I'm SO sorry to those of you who had originally signed up for this swap! I was out of the country (on a cruise with no Internet access) and silly me, I did not assign partners before I left. I'm opening this up again for 2 days to hopefully get my participants back! Are you trying to lose weight? Are you into healthy eating and fitness? Then this swap is for you. You will need to buy a journal. It can be as simple as the black-and-white composition notebooks or it can be a journal from the dollar store. Decorate the covers to make it special. Throughout the journal, you will decorate it in a way to inspire your partner to keep at her weight loss journey! For example, you might include healthy recipes. You might make a collage with special inspiring words. You might make a list of things to do instead of pigging out on a piece of cake. You might make a list of good workout music (or even include a mix cd hidden in an envelope on one of the pages). Maybe cut and paste helpful advice from fitness magazines. We've all been there; feeling like giving up on our weight loss journey. Think about things that would inspire you, and then put them in the journal for your partner. At the end, your journal should be completed so your partner has a wealth of information to go to when she is feeling low. However... KEEP EVERYTHING IN THE JOURNAL HEALTHY AND POSITIVE! That means, nothing that might trigger an eating disorder or low self-esteem. Nothing like "you're fat", no hints for crash diets, etc. Be creative and make something that you'd love to receive :) You'll have a month to work on this.No recent 1s or 3s.

So watching this one!!

I am starting a collection of positive things for my partners journal and looking forward to working on this project.

I also follow the WW program

Count me in. I am doing WW, also.

I am definitely joining in on this one. I have been trying to lose about 50 pounds for well over 4 years. I haven't stuck with anything long enough to see that happen. I think both creating a journal and receiving one, might just be the push I need to make this happen.

Now to assemble the goodies for the inside!

has anyone heard from the hostess about this swap??????

occasiongb6557 07/ 3/2010 #

sorry ladies but lack of communication here is making me uncomfortable and since its the third day and no hostess.....I'm out....if this doesn't follow through and anyone wants a one on one then contact me.

Bizabeth25 07/ 3/2010 #

I hope all is ok with the Hostess. I am hoping maybe she is just out of town for the weekend. I will hang on till Monday to see what happens. Have a good weekend everyone.

Hmmm, I too hope everything is ok with the hostess. If something does happen and we don't hear from her, anyone willing to set up something similar? I really would like to do this.

Huh...Well, It's now Tuesday and still no hostess/assigning...I guess I'm out now too...Too bad-It was a great idea. In fact, I think I'll make one just for myself now! :)

Ah sorry guys! This was the first swap I hosted and I neglected to realize that I had to click to assign partners! I was actually out of the country since July 2nd and just logged in to see that I lost all my participants! I'm sorry and I can start this swap again unless someone else has done so.

ammalu 07/ 6/2010 #

Ladies, I reopened this swap- please join again! This time I promise partners will be assigned without any delay! Sorry again :(
