    5. You will be disqualified from the challenge if you miss 2 weekly weigh ins. Your partner will be encouraged to complete the challenge.

    6. Weekly winners will be determined by overall percentage of weight loss as a team (percentage calculator from www.fitwatch.com) will be used for this challenge.

    good morning, thank you for your interest in this challenge. Your In!! Could you please copy and paste this message in response to my main post or post something expressing your interest. I want everyone to be able to see when I have received responses from 19 individuals. just in case I receive more than 19 people that are interested, no one will think that I just didn't chose them for the challenge. Thanks.

    Thank you for hosting a challenge yourself. I was disappointed that I didn't make it into the Biggest Loser -MFP edition. I hope you consider me. If not I understand and it won't hurt or derail me from my focus :) I feel strong and know I will make it...that's why I was looking forward to the challenge!

    Best of luck to you!!

    Okay, more than half has joined the group. I would encourage everyone to at least send a friend request to their teammate if you haven't already done so.

    Also, don't use the next 4 days to eat what you want because you know that you'll be starting this challenge on Friday!! Let's prepare ourselves mentally as if the challenge has already begun. Strive for clean eating and exercising!!!!

    Also, I have created a list for individuals waiting to join, If you have changed your mind or feel that you will not take this challenge seriously, it's okay to drop out now. I'd rather you do it now versus later!!!!

    Update!!! Update!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello everyone, I have decided to change the date for everyone to become a member of the "Mental and Physical Health Challenge- MFP Edition" group. I need everyone to become a member no later than Wednesday, July 03, 2013. This will help me wean out those that are not serious about this challenge and allow time to include those waiting to join and be prepared to weigh in by Friday, July 05, 2013 no later than 6 pm EST.

    I apologize everyone, the time zone for post will be 6 pm EST and NOT CST as in my previous post.

    Again, everyone need to become a member of the group for this challenge by Wednesday, 07/03/2013 by 6 pm EST.

    I can't find the group anywhere, leading me to think that it's private.

    I've just sent you a friend request, hopefully you can send me an invite from there.

    Internet has gremlins :grumble:
