in Motivation and Support
Hey everyone! I have tried EVERYTHING to motivate myself into losing weight. Nothing is working. Does anybody want to start a weight loss competition? I don't know the exact date of when it would start since I need more people obviously, but the sooner the better. I am super serious about losing weight, so please only respond if you really want to do this! Obviously each week or whatever, we'd have to report our weight or something, and we'd have to have an end date I suppose. I need ideas! If anyone has any input on how we can do this, please post! How would it work? What would the specifics be? Any ideas, please let me know!!!

    Its all ladies responding but what about starting in the new year or even the day after? I'm starting a Challenge group to for some people as well. Similar to what you ladies are talking about. Didnt really think of a prize yet, but something along the lines of 60 or 90 day challenge with weekly weigh ins if possible posting there pix from the scale. I just finished one and people want to do one for New Years. Just a suggestion. If you ladies do not get one started message me I'd love to share ideas?

    We did one at work and we each paid $25 to join...it was a month I believe and we did weigh ins as well as a body fat count. Whoever lost the set percentage won a piece of the prize. So we had multiple winners I think I dont know if anyone made the set percentage amount...I know I didnt!!!

    YES! this is awesome! ok so ideas??? i mean what kind of reward or whatever could we do? message me too if you want! that'd be awesome to set this up tho! :) weigh ins could be weekly or something, and obviously a list can be put together of who is all in this. but if you have any ideas, just message me so we can figure out a firm plan! :)

    weekly weigh in sounds good, and maybe a monthly tape? :)

    I like the idea, too.

    I've been in a similar group. A little different twist is at the beginning we had to report what our weaknesses were (potatoe chips, cookies, ice cream, whatever). We weighed every week. If anyone ate one of the things they reported as a weekness, they had to pay 25 cents everytime they ate it that week. If they gained weight they had to pay 50 cents for every pound they gained. At the end of six weeks, whoever lost the most was taken to dinner and given the jackpot.

    Obviously we can't meet that way online, but perhaps we could find some incentive to want to lose the most weeight other than a competitve personality.
