Message to those in the Biggest Weight Loser Challenge

Canelitas

WARNING - This might not be what you expect - WARNING

I do not intend for this to come across in a mean, hateful way, and please forgive me if it does. I want to be honest with my teammembers, and give everyone a fair chance at playing the challenge, I hope you will do the same.

I'd like to post about 2 issues.

1. Joining - Everyone is welcome to join, with that being said, if you join and decide you want to drop out or you feel you are not ready for this challenge, PLEASE let me know, (You won't be the first, I had 1 dropout 2 days after signing up and 2 more within the first week). I'd rather know and delete your name from the list, then showing you on the list with a "no loss", besides that your weight adds more weight to your team, which in return shows a higher weight, so if they have a good loss, thier % will be low, because you had no loss....make sense? So, again please let me know.

2. Weight-In - Weighting in days are either Tuesdays or Wednesdays, with that being said, you are more than welcome to weight-in which ever day you prefer and just message me or your team leader, your weight-in on Tuesday or Wednesday. Team Leaders should have thier teams weight-ins in by Wednesday night, and they can't do thier part if you fail to do your part.

Why Tuesdays or Wednesdays?
- The show "Biggest Loser" will be airing on Tuesdays, which means "thier" weight-in days will be Tuesdays. I don't know about you, but I plan on competing against someone on the show. Also, we will interact more with each other, chatting about the show, thier losses, etc.

With that being said, I have gone ahead and deleted 3 members this past week off of the Black team, it is not fair to all the other black team members to do thier best and have a low %. Just so you know, these 3 members were message by me more then 3 times, I made sure, they had read each message (throught my sent box)...before deleting them.

Thank You for reading me out...and like I said, I do not intend for anyone to get upset at me, I just want this to be a fair game for all of us. :flowerforyou:

Thanks so much for posting this... It is only fair.

obliged

agreed, its just going to interfere with everyone else's good work,
i felt guilt because i couldnt weigh in this week, but that was beyond my control, but you still have to let your team member know whats going on

LETS GO SMURFETTES!!!

I agree!

I am very interested in this. How do I get on a team? Is there a thread that explains how this works in detail, or is what's posted above about it? I think being involved in something bigger than myself would be helpful. I've lost 115 pounds 3 years ago, now I need to rid myself of the 40 which has slowly crept back on, so I know how to do this.

Thanks,

Message Canelitas and she will put on a team. We have 3 teams, Purple, Black and Blue ( go Smurfettes) IT is pretty simple. Just do your best to lose weight for your team and weigh in on Tuesday or Wed morning to your team leader. Every other week we post our measurements. I hope this helpful.
