Swap Beat Week 1 Results

The scores are in the results tallied, percentages calculated and the winners can be announced. I heard back from Viv and Laura and have updated the SWAG post with their contributions. I have also listed the breakout of the Nike prizes and the Grand prize. There is a total of 14 prizes including the grand prize, so the way it will play out is each week the top two losers select their prize over 6 weeks the seventh week there will be only one winner and the overall winner will receive the Grand Prize.

Please post in the comments section of this post (yes I am a comments whore) your first and second choices; in case you both choose the same thing, the higher ranking will get priority. From there it is up to the winners to contact the relevant donor to arrange shipping etc. Clicking on their name in the SWAG post will take you to their blog. Once received you are honor bound to pose with said winning item, photograph yourself and post about it etc.

There is a slight rule change in the interest of fairness of distribution of prizes. Because of the small number of participants you now cannot win two weeks in a row. If you are in the Top 2 on consecutive weeks then prizes will slip down to the next person on the list, consider this motivation to keep yourself at least in third place. Of course if you’re third and the next week you come first you have to pass on the prizes. Hopefully this won’t get too complicated and the idea is that everyone gets something.

So without further ado and fanfare this week’s winners are: Maddy & NikeMom. Congratulations to you both. Congrats to everyone who managed a loss. Week 2 is underway, send me your updates Sunday and watch this space.

  3. was gonna send you an email, but after your comment about being a comment whore, I figured I add too your comments! Thanks for the info about Newton shoes! I had never heard of them! There are only a few select distributors in Canada so far, and they're all in the western portion of the country, i'm in the east. LOL So I've written to them to see if they will have more distributors soon. For the price of the shoes, I'd really prefer trying them on before purchasing. They're not cheap, but could certainly be worth a try! So thanks again! You have proven to be a wealth of info once again! Cheers

  4. Ughhhhhh this was such a bad week for me weight-wise! The good news is, next week I'm hoping it will be easier to post a loss. And I swear I didn't waterload... just beer-load and pizza-load and cake-load :(

    Congratulations Maddy and Nikemom! Keep up the good work everyone!

  11. I'm sure that after a great first week, the second week will not be as good. Although one can hope - and work hard.

    I would like to choose the iTunes gift card for my prize.

    Good luck to everyone with week 2.
