We made it through the first round! Congratulations everyone!

Whether you made your goal this time or not - and you're still in it to win it even if you were shy of your goal this round! - just know that you should be so proud of any progress and, most importantly, making this commitment to your long-term health!

Most of us are rooting for each other as well, and I know that this January round is going to have a lot of winners! That being said, we may not have much for winnings this month - remember that only half of your bet goes into the pot for the round and half is in our final pot for this game. We're in it for the long investment - money and health!

Speaking of money, let's have a little fun! If you were to win the lottery today, what is the first thing you would do?

How was your weekend?

You're all doing so great! Keep up the great work and stay positive. We have a week to go and it's just one out of 6 weigh-ins. We're here for the marathon not a sprint.

So, here's something fun. Share with us what you would chose - if you could pick just one! I know, it's tough!

Can't wait to see what you would choose! (Don't forget to give others a like if they share your choice!)

I’m going to guess a lot of us struggle with getting enough sleep. In our culture of go, go, go (even when we can't really "go" anywhere) and with so many distractions, it can be very hard to turn it off. 

Studies show that poor sleep is one of the strongest risk factors for obesity, as it’s linked to an 89% increased risk of obesity in children and 55% in adults. In fact, sleep loss can release a hormone that will make you feel hungry when you’re not. Sleep loss also increases fat storage. 

Losing weight can help you get better sleep because it can help with sleep apnea, how comfortable you feel, and insomnia that can come from depression related to your weight.
