Please leave a short description about something you enjoy doing in weight loss groups that keep you motivated.
Even if it has already been said , because I want to try and make this an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Ideas we have so far:

*Separating into teams
*Challenges (Individual & Team)
*Spreadsheet to keep track of everyone's progress ( I can do this and post weekly)
*Possibly setting up a Facebook Group to keep everyone more connected. I don't like how we cant congratulate people on their losses with in the group setting.

    I like the Facebook group idea. I have a friend that is interested in doing a challenge of some sort but we just cannot not find something that is motivational enough

    Here's a thought I have.... I really love watching Biggest loser and for some reason I get really competitive when trying to out run (I'm horrible at running) or out lose someone in weight loss( i fail a lot!). I would like to try a biggest loser set-up but I'm not 100% how to run it. Every week the lowest loser goes home. I don't like that because anyone who has been on a serious weight-loss journey has failed many times. So I was thinking maybe a challenge of running so many miles by May. Or if enough people want to try the Biggest loser, we can do that, I just don't want people to get discouraged. Or we could split into teams depending on how many we get and do weight loss challenges each week.

    Here is the Google Doc I set-up for us to keep track of the group if you guys want to!
    I have the first week formatted correctly all you have to do is locate your name and input your beginning weight on January 1 and every week after! :smile: Any questions feel free to ask!

    oh and, bm1409, I had to change my search options to 'groups' to find the FB group. It is private and you have to send a request to be approved

    Hi maginsky,
    The spread sheet will not let me edit it to enter my beginning weight or 1/1/2015 weight. Thanks for building it. Best of luck perfecting it. I know these things can be tricky.

    I can help with the spreadsheet if you need some help, I'm very familiar with Google Docs. It is currently not letting us edit it to add our weights :)
