I have to lose 40 lbs and it might be fun for a bunch of us to band together and make a friendly competition out of it.

Friendly competition can be a great motivator, it could really help us on track, and make weight loss fun.

Anyone down can post here and we can start tomorrow.

    So cool that we already have 4 in for the friendly competition.

    We will begin tomorrow. If everyone can weigh in during the morning, each winner will be posted by the days end by me.

    If you reach your weight goal, congratulations!! And anyone left will continue to compete.

    This is going to be a lot of fun.

    So what exactly is the competition? What are we aiming for? Calories burned. weight loss by weeks end....

    Not too sure if this is a good idea. A 300lb person will lose weight a lot faster than a 100lb person. Just saying. I'd be in if there was a fair measurement.

    I'm very open minded but I was thinking we could do daily winners for weight loss in 24 hours while also doing weekly and monthly winners.

    I would put in the work to tally everyone and the winners could be announced on the board.

    We could have weight classes for fairness.

    Would this be created as a group or coming to this thread to check in? I am horrible at challenges that require threads and do better in a group setting so just want to check before I commit to anything.

    Because MyFitnessPal is centered on pounds we will make the competition based on pounds.

    We can have a weight class for starting at 300 lbs +, 200lbs-300lbs, 150-200 and 110-150.

    Winners will be announced by me on the board, daily, weekly and monthly.

    I hope you guys don't let me smoke you!

    I will announce the 1st winner tomorrow afternoon.

    If you want to participate just weigh yourself the first thing tomorrow morning and allow your scale to record your progress and update it on myfitnesspal automatically, or enter your progress in manually.

    I hope you guys are ready!!
