So I was wandering through groups and saw a Biggest Loser competition earlier this year - but didn't see any currently going on. Is anyone interested in creating one here on MFP? I think that would definitely help me with accountability - thoughts? :bigsmile:

    Sorry, guys!! We filled up REALLY fast and started October 29th (we had 120 people and had to close the group!!). I've had a lot of people ask if we can do a second session starting in January, so I think we're going to do that - if you guys are still interested let me know!!! I'll put you on a list so you have first dibs on spots!!! :happy:

    Awesome! I'm hoping we can get everything running to start January 1st, but since our competition now will just be ending December 30th, I may need a few more days to get new members, delete the old, and freshen everything up. I'll friend you and post something as it gets closer.

    If anyone else is interested, go ahead and friend me and like I said, I'll be posting as it gets closer.

    I am interested in a Biggest Loser competition. Is it all "big" people like us, or anyone on MFP?

    hey gals! We will be starting this coming weekend! I am SO EXCITED to see what Season 2 has in store for us. To answer the previous question, yes, people from all over MFP are in the competition (so all sizes - but there are quite a few of us, including me, who have a lot to lose, so you definitely won't be alone!)

    I'll post teams on Friday Jan 4th and our first weigh-in will be Sat, Jan 5th!

    We have 5 teams this Season, all led by awesome competitors from our Season 1 competition! We will go for 12 weeks, ending March 30th, 2013.

    Each week we determine a Biggest Loser team as well as Biggest Loser individual based on percentage of weight lost. We have weekly challenges as well as team challenges.

    Because we have high expectations for this Season, and want totally committed individuals, we want to know that you'll put a little time into it. If you are interested, please message me with the following:

    1. current weight
    2. goal weight for the 12 weeks
    3. ultimate goal weight
    4. TOP #1 reason you want to lose weight.

    We are SO EXCITED to start and hope you'll join us! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! :)

    Can someone tell me whether I am even in this competition? I replied to this thread on 12/19 and sent a message last week but I've heard nothing... now the competition is apparently started and I have no idea what is going on and have gotten no details so I assume I'm not in it? Help please anyone?
