    Hope I'm not to late. I really would like to join. My weight July first 1st was 244, last week it was 241. Everyone seems to be doing so good so far. Hope I can fall into the grove too! :)

    same here. I am going to climb stairs for the entire week at work, home etc (additional to the excercise I do every day). I did 5 floors this morning, 28 steps per floor which 140 steps this morning.

    Hi Saraylynnew and divalovely... I've added you both, welcome to the challenge :-)

    Just to let you know what's happening:

    This challenge was started by someone but it appears that something has come up so they haven't been on since before 1st July. I was really keen on the time line of this challenge so kinda took over cos I really wanted it to keep going.

    This isn't an elimination challenge so if you gain that is okay... preferably if you're still shrinking ;-)

    Weigh ins are on Fridays.

    The person who loses the most weight in the previous week gets to set the mini-challenge for the new week.

    Trying to make this a supportive, fun challenge.

    Now, I hope everyone has a great Thursday!

    Hmmm, while I was doing that summary, I suddenly thought... do we want to do the winner by lbs lost or % lost? It doesn't matter for last week as mroger801 was the biggest loser either way! (7lbs, 2.18%)

    So, what do you think? I already have % lost included on my spreadsheet so either way is fine with me. :smile:

    My vote is for % of body weight lost.

    welcome pantoinette!

    Please let me know what your start weight was (1st July) and what your weight was on 8th July so that I may include you in the challenge.

    OOh...now this sounds like my kind of challenge; something that is going over time. I'm doing a 1 month challenge too, but I really would like to see long term difference. Diver, I already sent you a message with my info, so please sign me up!

    So, since the challenge has now been going for two weeks, those who have not provided a start weight will be removed from my spreadsheet this weekend (with the exception of Pantionette as they only joined yesterday).

    I also propose closing the challenge to new members and that if someone misses weighing-in two weeks in a row they be removed (unless they've let us know that they're going to be away) - does that sound fair to everyone?
