8 Week Wrap-Up

I can't believe 8 weeks have already gone by! Congratulations Brian & Becky - I will get the checks in the mail ASAP!

I believe there are a few of us that would like to continue to track our weight loss every week. It's definitely a good way to motivate each other, so I will continue to update the sidebar with how we're doing. Since it's not a competition any more, I plan on doing my TOTAL percentage lost so that I can feel a little better about myself, and so I don't have to try and remember how much I weighed on July 12th :)

Good luck to everyone with continuing on to a better and healthier lifestyle!

Weekly Updates?

Sooo me and Becky were talking and we feel a little disconnected from this whole process we were hoping for some extra interaction. So what awesome things have you done this week? Have any new recipes that you would like to share with the group? What has helped you get in the game? I just want to hear how everyone's doing!! Love you guys and good luck!

Prize

It appears that the majority of us have agreed that each participant should put in $10 and the total will be divided between the two winners. Hopefully everyone is okay with that. So if everyone would get the money to me before July 31st, that would be great.

Week 1 - Percentage Lost

Be sure to leave a comment with your percentage of weight lost this week. I will record your information on the sidebar and rearrange the names to show who is in the lead (if there are more than one person with the same percentage I will put them in alpha order).

Let's Start This!

Since this is starting TOMORROW we figured we should probably put together some rules to get this thing started off. It appears that the easiest way to do this would be to have TWO different challenges. The first would be a weight loss challenge and the second would be a point challenge. At the end of the challenge – September 6 – we will have two winners – one for each challenge (we can figure out the prizes later).

Weight Loss Challenge – Each of us will weigh in TOMORROW, July 12th. Each week we will record our percentage lost on the blog (to figure out the percentage lost take the total lost since July 12th and divide it by your July 12th weight). Since we’re starting this on a Monday, we’ll weigh in each Monday morning and record the percentage on the blog some time that day.

Point Challenge - Each week you can earn points based on your “healthy” lifestyle. On the blog record the points you’ve earned that week and also list the total amount of points you’ve earned for the contest. We’ll post these on Mondays as well.

Exercise:

1 Point – Exercising at least once during the week

2 Points – Exercising three times during the week

3 Points – Exercising fives times or more during the week

(Exercise equals at least 30 minutes moderate intensity)


Eating:

1 Point – Meeting your calorie/eating goal at least one day during the week

2 Points – Meeting your calorie/eating goal three times during the week

3 Points – Meeting your calorie/eating goal fives times or more during the week

(Since not everyone will be counting calories, you can earn points as long as you reach your eating goal for the day)


Miscellaneous Weekly Points:

1 Point – No soda all week (Soda includes ALL carbonated drinks)

1 Point – One serving of fruits each day of the week

1 Point – One serving of vegetables each day of the week

1 Point – Drinking 64 ounces of water each day of the week

Welcome to The Biggest Loser!

Welcome to The Biggest Loser!

To join the game, click on Design (top right corner), click on edit next to Competitors (right side), click Edit next to your name, Add your starting weight.

Start Date ~ July 12, 2010

End Date ~ Sept. 6, 2010

Everyone will weigh in weekly (with percentage lost or weight lost) ~ Mondays

We want to have a final prize, and possibly bi-monthly prizes...any suggestions on prizes?

Also, it would be fun to have both individual competition, as well as couples competition...

This is the basic idea, but what rules do you want to have in this game?
