🐴 Weight Loss Derby 🐴

Welcome to the Weight Loss Derby!
Saddle up, folks! It's time to drop pounds and race to the finish line in this month-long weight loss contest—with a fun, competitive twist.
Here's how it works:
1. Teams & Horses
Everyone will be paired up into teams (2 people per team).
Each team will be assigned a “horse” in our imaginary race.
The race will be posted on a virtual racetrack, and each week your horse will move closer to the finish line based on your progress.
2. The Race Timeline
The contest runs for 1 month (4 weeks).
Weekly Weigh-Ins are required. Mark your calendars!
3. Weigh-In Rules
Every week, each team member will weigh in privately.
Submit your weight to me via private message.
Then, post in the contest thread saying “Weigh-in submitted!” to confirm your entry. This keeps the thread active and builds excitement for the weekly reveal.
4. Advancing in the Race
Your team’s total weight loss (combined for that week) = how many strides your horse takes.
Horses will be moved forward accordingly and updates will be posted each week with standings and a fun narrative.
First horse to cross the finish line wins the race!
5. Prizes & Glory
The winning team gets bragging rights and possibly even custom ribbons—because why not?
Bonus points for best team name and best motivational hype in the thread!
Let’s go!
Get your scales ready, pick your team name, and let the games begin. Let’s make weight loss fun, supportive, and a little competitive.
