Summer Blog Party Begins TODAY!

Welcome to the official start of the Summer Blog Party!!

A few weeks ago I found a few items that I ended up with doubles on, one was a workout DVD and the others were just cute little items. Ken suggested that I give them away on my blog. I thought it would be a good idea and from that little conversation we came up with the whole concept of having a Blog Party.

My house is only so big and staying in Florida the whole time could get boring so why not spread the party out all over the world? I asked if anyone had room on their blog to host a party and WOW did I get some fabulous responses!

We have several events that are going on throughout the summer and during certain weeks, there are challenges that you are going to want to sign up for because they are not only going to challenge you to pick up your game and push yourself a bit, save gas money and they are also giving out some pretty fabulous rewards!

We have a few people who just want to meet you and invite you over for a party and give away a few prizes. It’s all good and its going to be a LOT of fun!

On Fridays stop by the Scale Junkie blog to see who is hosting the party of the week. Also stop by to see progress reports and reminders for ongoing challenges. On Mondays I’ll also post a reminder about the events for the week. Tuesday through Thursday will be business as usual here at Scale Junkie!

Many of the hosts have agreed to give away prizes that can be shipped world wide so everyone can play along, just read the details on the Host’s blog.

Are you ready to meet your hosts? The schedule and lineup is tentative because life happens so use this as a guideline, I’ll keep updating it as I find out more information:
