We are currently looking for more members for a Biggest Loser type challenge that will be starting Monday, May 5th. Here is a little info on our group:
Welcome to our Biggest Loser competition - MFP style! We had a successful Season 1 back in 2012 and have kept it going ever since. We are getting ready to start season 10 and are currently planning to continue running this challenge through 2014. So if you ‘re looking for an awesome support group, fun challenges, and a little bit of friendly competition, you’re definitely in the right place!!!
Our Biggest Loser competition will be held for 6 weeks, beginning on Monday, May 5, 2014. It will end June 15, 2014.
This season is TEAMS competition! Teams will be fighting to get their name in the coveted top spot every week! Since no competition is any fun without a little extra teamwork, teams will be competing to claim the highest average challenge points as well as the highest team percentage of weight loss each week.
Each Monday, every individual will weigh in and compute their own challenge points. They will submit the numbers to their team leader. Later in the week winners will be announced based on the following:
1) Team with the highest percentage of weight loss
2) Team with the highest average of challenge points earned by it's participants
3) Individual recognition for the week's biggest loser
4) Individual recognition for the week's highest challenge points earner
We have weekly challenges, daily challenges, as well as optional challenges to participate in throughout the competition. You earn at least one point for each day’s challenge that you complete. At the end of the week, you will also earn points for completing the weekly challenge and some fun new side competitions!
We also have optional mini-challenges that you will be encouraged to join. You may join as many or as few as you'd like, but we suggest that you join at least one. Five bonus points will be awarded for each additional challenge you actively participated in each week. Details will be lined out in each mini-challenge’s description. There is no limit to how many mini challenges you can participate in, so feel free to challenge yourself!!!
Space will be limited, so if you are interested please let us know right away. Please keep in mind before asking to join that we are looking for participants who will give board participation, support, and can commit to participating the entire competition!

I'm assuming this is all done on our own, not everyone lives locally, right? If so I'd be interested. I definitely would love an extra challenge and some help pushing myself. Although I must say I do not run (yet!) if that matters. I'm in Southern California if that mean anything....0

I have put everyone who responded up to this post into a list for leaders to choose from. We will be setting up in the next couple of days so please be patient in waiting for the official invite. If we need more participants after these are all taken I will make another post letting you know we still have more space. Otherwise, until then this is all the names we are accepting.
