Join the Diamond Challenge! [Accepting New Members]

[Important note: There is a THREE step sign-up process listed below. Be sure to follow the THREE steps!]

Hi Diamonds!

We are currently seeking anyone interested in "buddying up" for a weight loss challenge that ends on July 15th. The goal is to stick to our diet and exercise goals with a partner. The Diamonds Challenge: Round 3 is a REAL commitment, so if you cannot support your partner each and every day, this is NOT the group for you! We expect ACTIVE involvement. Unless you request otherwise, I will select your partner.

If you are familiar with the earlier version of the challenge you should know that there are some changes!

You are partnered with your buddy, but you are also a member of a division--Diamonds in the Rough or DiamondDolls. Further, each division is broken into three color teams. Each week the team that loses the most will get bragging rights and the opportunity to add a digital trophy to their signature. We will also continue to celebrate individual victories.

There are ten members on each team and a total of 60 members in the Diamonds Challenge League.

---

Expectations:

1. Check in with your buddy every day via MESSAGING (not just on forums)
2. Check your division thread regularly
3. Say as much as possible when writing to your buddy and when writing on the forum
4. Post the Question of the Day on your assigned day**
5. Use your team logo in your signature.
6. Submit your weekly loss or gain.

Unfortunately, each round we have to remove a few participants who fail to adhere to these guidelines... don't let that be you!

My name is Jamaica, and I am excited about the start of Round 3 of the Diamonds Challenge! This challenge has grown so much in the past fourteen weeks, and I am eager to continue with my wonderful ladies. I hope that you all will enjoy this challenge as much as we do!

Keep Shining!

We are being a little more stringent with the rules this round... it just isn't fair to those who are active to have an inactive partner.

Ladies, this challenge totally ROCKS!

Hello! My name is Meghan. I would like to join this challenge because I am finding it really difficult to motivate myself to follow my nutrition program. I am spot on with workouts but can't get the diet down and I feel that having a team and partner to be accountable to will really help me. I also love supportive people in my life. Hope I can join this challenge!

hey! i'm kaitlyn and i would love for there to be a spot for me in this challenge. (: i've never been involved in any challenges before but after seeing how much fun this looks, i really want to get involved! i've been pretty good about what i've been eating but i'm too easy on myself when it comes to the work out aspect of weight loss. i think if i had a buddy and a team of people right there with me, pushing me to do my best i'd be better off.

It's sooooooo fun. I've only been a member for a week but it's great! It's inspiring to see all these ladies working hard and encouraging you to work hard too I've started stealing exercises routines that I see working for other people, and I can already tell my workouts are more intense

Hey all! I hope I'm not too late, I know there are only 2 spots left, for now

My name is Trina and I am more than excited to join the Diamonds Challenge! I am on my health journey to be the best me and have been on this ride for over 2 years now. I am a MPF addict and would love the daily support and encouragement and getting to know like-minded women. Hope to hear back soon and be one of the chosen ones, thanks!
