11 Week ELIMINATION CHALLENGE

Ready to shed that holiday weight and start off the New Year right????
I've learned how much more motivated I could be by getting into a competition that also "Pushed Me", sometimes to the limit, to make it another week in the competition and/or help my team make it another week and I believe those that have done this before have been successful for the same reason.
If anyone who decides to join has done my last one - It will be pretty much the same concept but anyone is welcome to join right now.
Roughly how it will work....
The first 1 or 2 weeks will be an individual competition strictly based on the challenges - the first (yet undetermined) amount of people will make it through to the next week - the following week will either be put into teams - or 1 more week of individual challenges. Honestly here, I'm trying to weed out the people who aren't going to be committed to their team. If everyone on a team isn't committed then it hurts the whole team, and the individual challenges will also help me balance out the teams.
Once I establish how many people and teams there are then I will be able to let everyone know roughly how many people will be eliminated each week. These challenges for some may be easy, for others may be hard but you will push yourself to do more to keep your team in it for one more week! For those of you who have done this last time - the challenges will be similar. - Ranging from giving recipes, to specific exercises, to specific calorie burns or food choice challenges, personal goals (and probably a mixture of all).
As this is a competition, I encourage some level of ("Fun and Still Supportive") "trash talk" between teams to keep everyone "going"! This is NOT meant to be negative! Just banter to keep everyone alive out there!
The first WEIGH IN for this competition will be FRIDAY, JANUARY 13th or SATURDAY JANUARY 14th by noon (you may weigh in either day). The first challenge will start on MONDAY JANUARY 16th! If you are interested please post on here by THURSDAY, JANUARY 12th so I have a couple days to put the information together. PLEASE don't post on this if you aren't really interested and committed to something like this.
And on a side note - I will be having a "side" competition for the weekly eliminated players (that are interested in staying in it) that will give 1 or 2 people a chance to get back in the main competition towards the end - to keep those (that are interested) still in the game and still working to the "main goal" of losing weight in a supportive, helpful environment!
Happy New Year All!!

IDK how to find the post for the previous challenge - can someone send me a link?0

We will be doing it like the last time - I will keep a blog each week with the challenge and for everyone to post on - and once teams are established - there will be a team leader with a blog for their team to post on. I will create a google spreadsheet for each team (that the team leader will update or have their team post on) and one for the whole competition that I keep updated.
Here is the link to my blog from the last competition - if you scroll through it has a bunch of info as well as the challenges each week - it has weeks 2-10 (I accidentally erased week 1) (it was a 10 week competition last time).

Please "friend" me if you want to be a part of the competition. Its a lot of work but a lot of fun too, especially once the teams are established and you have that team competive spirit!
Hope you'll join us!!0 -
Please count me in! I've done a 30-day challenge before (at least 30 minutes of exercise a day for 30 days straight) with a group and YES the support does work!0
-
Also, if you do go to the blog and look at past challenges - keep in mind week 9 and 10 were a little lighter because they were right in the middle of all the holiday chaos so please scroll through other weeks as well.0
-
And to "TiffanyF" - yes you can be in more than one challenge at a time - you just have to keep pretty good track of what you're doing and which challenge it goes to or what can be used for both.0
-
I am in for sure! It was the motivation I needed to keep me going!0
-
Ooh, I would like to join! I really enjoyed the last one--it made me do strength training for the first time in years!0

I'm going to skip it this time until I get in better shape. I think I found a more "beginner" challenge to join to work up to one of your future challenges. Thank you though! :0)0 -
No problem....thanks for letting me know! Good luck to you and I hope you join us another time if we do it again ;-)0
-
I'm in! Is there a group that we could use to keep better track of each week's challenges???0
-
