Several people I have talked with wanted to do a fitness challenge type thing this summer. So here you go guys, ask and ye shall receive. One of the reasons why I wanted to start a competition is because it is so much easier to be motivated when you have to answer to other people as well as a nice little chunk of change to be won
Here is the break down of the competition: (if I happened to miss a vital piece of information, let me know and I’ll get it printed up here) I opted to host the competition here versus on weightlosswars.com because I didn’t want everyone to have to pay $10 to enter the competition. I think $3 is a good tiny fee that everyone should be able to contribute to without going deep into debt.
Weigh Ins: Every Wednesday (percentage must be entered in comments section of that week’s Weigh In post) until July 4, 2008
Karma. This competition is based on honesty. You might know you are the only that is lying about your percentage of weight lost but trust me Karma will come back and get you for not being honest.
June 4, 2008- July 4, 2008
Weigh Ins will start tomorrow. Come back and leave your starting weight and your goal weight on the first weigh in post that will be posted tomorrow morning.
Let me know who all is interested in participating by leaving a comment. Get your participation fee submitted so I can add you to the participants list by tomorrow. If you pay later on that is fine but you won’t be entered into the cash pot until you contribute to it. Makes sense right?

I’m in - but last weigh-in for me will have to be 7/2 as I’m leaving that day (7/2 is also a Wednesday so this would probably work too). Thanks for arranging this - I needed motivation.

The button is on the sidebar above my flickr stream. You will see the “30-Day Challenge Button” on the right and a little paragraph of intro to the left. The words “Are you ready to Compete? contribute your $3 to the pot and start competing today!” is the button you click on and pay your registration “fee”.

Cool… I’m in. I’ll be going out of town tomorrow until the 14 or 15th. I’ll try my besttttt to log on and give an update but it might not be possible. Is that ok? I won’t have pc access where I’ll be at. I am signing up at Weigh Loss Wars now.
Also… I think a good way to keep people from cheeting is video recording the final weigh in, no?
Either way, in the end, if someone cheats and isn’t honest, oh well… I get the satisfaction of knowing I was honest, gave it m all and I “DID” lose the weight. *hehe* Cause I’ll be looking GOOOOOD! LOL
