HOLIDAY ELIMINATION CHALLENGE

This challenge is NOT for Everyone! So Please Read through and see if its something you would TRULY be interested in!

It is an Elimination Challenge - It is Also a TEAM Challenge - Each week there is a challenge put up for individuals and the overall team - and each week some move on to the next...some don't...it is figured by those that finish the challenge And % of weightloss each week....thats the nutshell version...

This will be my 4th challenge now - but I'm making some changes... it has been and will continue to be a VERY involved challenge...A LOT of facets/things to keep track of and to read through each week. It has a GREAT team element and a GREAT teamwork environment. It IS Competitive though - this time around it will be 11 weeks...starting on Oct 21st - which takes us right through the New Year....trying to start it on the right foot!!

This is a Challenge that has heeded some VERY big results for some...and just kept others enjoying the support and keeping them on track....

If you are someone who thrives on competition AND teamwork environment...
IF you are someone who is on top of posts and info and doesn't have a problem with Thoroughly reading through directions...
And Following Directions....(and questions are Always Welcome if you have them!)
And if you are someone who wants to be truly challenged without the excuses...
This might be a good fit for you!

I am looking for a few extra people and some new blood to join up in this next challenge - Probably only about 20-30 people though - I already have close to 40 and do not want to overload this time around....

I'm going to give you a link to a previous challenge week - to give you an idea of what a week is like - PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR INTEREST HERE UNTIL YOU'VE LOOKED AT IT AND TRULY READ THROUGH THE WEEK!!! I Have, in the past, taken all who are interested and Many drop out the first week or 2 because its just too involved for them....others LOVE it because of that very reason! Because you are put into teams...immediate dropouts really mess up the team dynamic right off the bat.

I am adding a side/separate challenge for those that are eliminated from the "main challenge" - this is a new part of the challenge and will be a "points" earned challenge that will enable you to continue on, as well as, Win that side challenge and continue to help out your team! If you read through the link - there won't be info on that - cuz it is new to this time around - but info will go up about it.

Pop Quiz....(if you don't answer these questions - I'll know you didn't read through and you didn't check out the challenge week...so no go...) I just really want to open this up for a few new folks that this might benefit...as I said...it isn't for everyone - many don't have the time or the inclination to join up in something this involved...but it Truly is Great for those that do benefit from something like this!

****What is "HR / FR" and "EM pts".....(take a guess.... - it doesn't actually say in the challenge) - give it a shot...hoping for a few entertaining guesses but try and think what it might be...???

****What were the team names???

***What week was this link for??

A little added info - everyone is separated into teams - each team has 1-2 team leaders - you report all your daily info on your "team page" to your team leader - They transfer the #'s to the chart - everyone has access to view the chart - team leaders have the only access to inputing....

If you are interested let me know After you check out the link and read through this post....

Thanks for your interest!

    I did the last challenge and enjoyed the team atmosphere. Sheri provided new ways to push myself every week and I picked up some good habits along the way.

    I have participated in the last two challenges and have lost close to 40 pounds during them and all I can say is wow. I had joined MFP and stumbled upon the challenge post and am so thankful. I have learned so much and have found some incredible inspiration through this journey with some amazing people.

    As mentioned above, if you enjoy competition, are willing to work hard, have fun and make new friends, you have found the right place!!!

    Is there room for me in the challenge? I do know the answer but I want the newbies to get it themselves :tongue: I love this challenge! I find that when I'm not doing it I feel lazier. I've lost 11 pounds in the past from this challenge!

    I love these challenges & love my team!! The challenges have helped me lose some extra pounds I had, but most importantly help me to be stronger & healthier for me & my family! This also came into play in a huge way when I had my riding accident a few weeks ago. Being so fit definitely helped me to recover & I think is a big part of why thee were no other broken bones besides my poor tailbone!!

    Thanks Sheri!!

    My friend Nonnalynn just sent me a link to this. I would LOVE to join this challenge - and the sharks team if possible. I have just sent you a PM with the pop quiz answers (and one question I have for you). Hope I can join in! Sounds exactly what I need right now! Seem to be a bit stuck in my weight loss at the moment.
