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.

Goal

  • to see who can win the most percentage of weight in a 30 Day period.
  • What You Win

  • A Senseo Coffee Maker + cash pot
  • Cost of Participation

  • $3 ($1 goes in the cash pot, $2 towards shipping/cost of Senseo)
  • How to Enter

  • Pay $3 participation fee. You can do so in the sidebar—-> Look for the button.
  • To easily keep track of your weight loss you can get a free account at Weight Loss Wars (if you already have an account, make sure you change your start weight to your current weight. No previous weight lost will be counted in this competition)
  • Every Wednesday post your percentage of weight lost since the start of the competition in the comment section of that week’s post. I will give you the formula to figure out your percentage on the first weeks weigh in.

  • Weigh Ins: Every Wednesday
    (percentage must be entered in comments section of that week’s Weigh In post) until July 4, 2008

    How do we know if someone doesn’t cheat?

    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.

    How long does this thing last?

    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?
