VIP BasketI have my meetings combined with other directors. We count down from 10 to 1, the highest sellers each month after announncing any one over 1k. We combine all our stats before the meeting so the top 10 are from everyones cluster. The #1 in addition to getting whatever their director gives them also gets a pick from the VIP basket which is filled with items equal to about
$10. Each director brings a couple items when the basket gets a little low.

I like this idea!
Typically our meetings consist of our AD, and the 3 directors under her plus our teams. Although for the last few months two of the directors have been busy with family commitments and have not made it to meetings. But I would love to see us doing this!

I was speaking with a director friend of mine and she shared that what she does is to offer a $2 raffle at each meeting. The $ goes into a ziploc. A winner is drawn at the end of each meeting, and the winner not only gets a Pampered Chef tool (fron the AD's stash from her Director's Benefits package), but also gets that ziploc full of cash which then gets labeled with the winner's name and placed in the AD's freezer until July. Come July, ziplocs are distributed to the winners (so, there will be $12 bags each with a name on it) AS LONG AS the winners are attending conference...that way the winners have some extra conference cash. IF a winner chooses not to attend conference, she forfeits her cash...and it goes into the kitty to help pay for a cluster-dinner in Chicago for all who are attending NC.

She says it has been a great way to get more people to go to NC as the winnings help defray conference costs...I am thinking I may try it.

Thoughts?
Anyone do anything like this?

Why??Why, oh why does my hubby tell me I look like I've lost weight, I feel like I've lost weight, my clothes fit different....but when I get on the scale, I weigh the same as I did before??????

I just don't get it!!! It's so frustrating, it makes me not even want to keep trying. :cry::cry::cry::cry:

Thanks for letting me cry.

What are you doing to lose weight?? Muscle weighs more than fat does so if you are gaining muscle when you are losing the fat you will look like you lost weight but what you actually look like you lost fat...so don't pay attention to the scale so much...if you want to figure out if you are being successful...measure yourself.

Heidi is right. Depending on what your workouts are, you could be building dense muscle and buring fat and water. If people notice and you are cutting dress sizes, that is reason to celebrate and maintain motivation!!

My DH tells me that I look like I've lost weight when he wants something.....

I've started bike riding with my two kids in tow. I'm also modifying my diet to watch portion sizes & also cut out some of the junk (baby steps, I say as I drink my coke for the day!).

I feel better too, it's just that danged scale!

Trust me...Measure yourself and you will see the difference a lot quicker....Also how often do you weigh yourself...I have heard both sides...weigh a lot or weigh once a week...I recommend once a week.
