The support group I am in, 'Visualize This', wants to challenge other groups! We are thinking of maybe a 12 week challenge, sort of Biggest Loser style! We'd weigh in weekly every Monday starting on November 9. We'd have to go off of the total % of weight lost. Anyone up for it? :wink:

    Hi, I'm up for the challenge if someone can email me to remind me. LOL

    I have joined a few challenges here on the boards and ALWAYS forget to check back in and even forget the challenge. LOL

    Bump, we are looking for specific groups maybe? Or else it would be our entire group against an individual person! That's not very fair! lol. So anyone interested?

    Will do! We will probably make a new thread for it, maybe post the results on Tuesday after everyone has a chance to weigh in on Monday?

    Ok sounds good. Are there any rules? Is it total body fat % of the entire team or add up everyones individual body fat %?

    Also, the first weigh in on Monday - wouldn't that just be an initial weigh in? So that from that point forward we can gauge the weightloss based on that initial weigh in number??

    It's the total percentage of weight loss for the team. So just divide the total weight loss by the total of the starting weights, but post it all individually so both teams can see everyone's. Such as
    Starting Current =/-
    Person A - 193 189 (-4)
    Person B - 167.5 166 (-1.5)
    Person C - 211.8 209 (-2.8)
    Person D - 210 211 (+1)

    Total 782.3 775 (-7.3)
    Total % .09

    Also, yes Monday would be our initial weigh in, so we wouldn't put our loss/gains till the week after.

    Team 3PC (Three Part Challenge) is ready to rock!!! I'll have our Initial weights posted by Monday night! Good Luck to all!

    P.S. can new group members (not teams) join later in the challenge? I havent heard back from some of our members yet, so if they miss the initial weigh-in can they jump in the week after that?

    Yay, so we have a 3-way competition!!!!! Thats fine if new members come along since it will be a total % of weight loss, not individual. I will make a post on Monday for us to use for the competition and post the link here. Can't wait!!!
