Weight Loss competition anyone?

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?

Hey! Can u message me on any details of your New Year Challenge thing?

Me too!!

I'm in! I could really use motivation.

I'm in! Any of you ever look into dietbet.com?? There's money involved, just a suggestion!

oh man! that is so neat!!

the dietbet.com thing looks pretty sweet!

Me and some of my colleagues started a weight loss challenge on December 1st BEFORE the holidays. The idea was to avoid over-indulging through the holidays, and then making some typical "New Year's Resolution" that never works for anyone.

Our challenge? The first person to lose 10% of their December 1st body weight wins. Why a percentage? We have two men and two women participating; all of different ages, heights, and weights. The reasoning? How can a 5'-1" tall woman weighing 170 pounds be expected to lose the same amount of weight as me, a 6'-2", 240 pound man? The prize? The four participants go out to a healthy lunch and pick up the tab of the winner.

As one who has dropped from 293 pounds down to 218, and then went back up to 240, and now on the road back to the low 200's, I've been here before. Create a group that people can join. Members can do weekly weigh-ins and post them on a specific day of the week in your group's blog. You can use a weigh-in format something like this:
SW: xxx lbs. (i.e. Starting weight)
CW: xxx lbs. (i.e. Current weight)
TW: xxx lbs. (i.e. Target weight)
TL: -xxx lbs. (i.e. Total lost)

Accountability and understanding are key. Accountability is putting yourself on blast to help keep yourself in check. Understanding is knowing that there are so many people out there that know EXACTLY what we are all going through.

Oh, and since December 1st I've dropped 6.4 pounds (CW: 233.6). :happy:

Best of luck to you all!

count me in.. if there is anything organized.. msg me

Is this meant to be weight loss or fat loss? Because I could drop 20lb's in a week and a half no problem but not all of it will be fat.

You can drop 20lbs in a week and a half? Tell me your secret :happy:

yes, its pretty simple, just glycogen deplete and intermittent fast with 2 - 3 hour eating window at calorie deficit of 1200, and don't resistance train, but do consistent of medium jogs. By the end of it you'll probably feel like total crap, and like I said most of it will not be fat that is lost, but muscle. Losing weight is easy, losing fat and retaining muscle requires an educated approach.
