    Another option is maybe skinnyo.com? We can create teams and people can either join the color they want or who decides who goes on which teams? Pictures are just an idea...we can make one person the keeper of the pics just to keep people honest, but just an idea. My current challenge the rule was weigh in at the same time of day each friday using the same scale, submit your photo by 8am saturday morning. Pics just had to be of feet on scale with the numbers readible. I like the idea of challenges thrown out there by people...sounds like fun, plus if ours starts on a monday we have to stay in check over the weekend...those are my hardest days.

    Thanks GeoJeep girl...you rock! Red team??:flowerforyou:
    We could do skinnyyo.com...is it easy to use?
    I like the idea of taking pic w/ scale...should we all send pics to you tomorrow then?
    I'm just worried though about putting that much on you...it's not fair...like I said I want everyone to be accountable to make this challenge work...everyone do a fair share to make this challenge awesome!

    Also, just for fun...everyone want to list what they are doing today as far as working out?

    I am 5'6, 204lbs
    My team pick: blue (or where ever you want to put me :).

    Let me know if we decide to track on another site. The Google excel would be a good idea, but I am up for anything.

    Great idea to post pictures w/ just our feet, the scale, and the visible number...any idea of where we could post them so only we could see them?

    I love the idea, we have started one at work but it's a 'loosely' put together one so I could bring ideas into the other group while following this one would be great!

    Interested!

    Im checking into skinnyo right now, I think I can make up to 8 teams but still checking. So far there are over 35 people with a few maybe (wanted info). This is going to rock! Not sure what to do with the pics yet... unless we want to have a photobucket site that is private and you have to have a code to see it? Im not familiar with alot fo the photo sharing sites.

    If anyone would like to try to add themselves to one of the teams on skinnyo that Ive setup.. Here is the website. http://www.skinnyo.com/challenges/view/512a61de115d2

    Im hoping this works for us... its a pretty simple site to use once your logged in. You add yourself to one of the teams in the challenge. Then when you do your weekly 'chick-ins' it will calculate lbs lost and % lost. And we can track teams against each other. Since so many people were interested I made 8 teams but I think we should try to fill up the first 4 first then the others... if we dont come out with equal people on teams... some people may be shifted to another team to even them out.

    I set the challenge to start tomorrow and run up to 8 weeks. If we dont want to do it this way... Im ok with that too! :-)

    Great idea Geojeepgirl! I don't want the pics where everyone can see them though...are we talking stripped down to under wear?
    It's not too late too join...post your starting weight and color (divided into 4 groups of colors evenly).
    Just remember...this is a group effort and anyone can take control and set a daily challenge or anything they'd like to set up. Weigh-ins every monday...sound good?

    Also, pink team's jnn0409 mentioned putting height as well...great idea..

    210 lbs
    5'6"
    Red Team


    I like Kettlebell work outs and will be doing a 35 min conditioning workout from virtual skogg today.

    Is there a way to change what team I'm on? It automatically added me to the Pink team, so it might just add people to the next team and keeping adding one person to each team to make them all even.

    Interesting... I thought it would allow you to choose which team... But I can move you to any other color... just let me know. :-)

    Could we maybe take a pic of our feet on the scales then just put it on skinnyo as our display?

    Can I be on the blue team please? Pink, while lovely, is just not my color :wink:

    Looks like we just had more join up... and its putting people on teams automatically to even them out... either post here or pm me if you want to be moved and I will try to keep it fair. :-)

    I dont have a problem with that.... but disclaimer... this is a public challenge and even though you have to be a member of skinnyo to see the challenge.... any member of skinnyo can see your profile pic... not sure if that would make a difference to anyone.
