The Diamonds Challenge: Round 3 - Now Seeking New Members!

Hi Diamonds!
We are currently seeking anyone interested in "buddying up" for a 4 week weight loss challenge. The goal is to stick to our diet and exercise goals with a partner. The Diamonds Challenge: Round 3 is a REAL commitment, so if you cannot support your partner each and every day, this is NOT the group for you! We expect ACTIVE involvement. Unless you request otherwise, I will select your partner.
If you are familiar with the earlier version of the challenge you should know that there are some changes!
You are partnered with your buddy, but you are also a member of a division--Diamonds in the Rough or DiamondDolls. Further, each division is broken into three color teams. Each week the team that loses the most will get bragging rights and the opportunity to add a digital trophy to their signature. We will also continue to celebrate individual victories.
There are ten members on each team and a total of 60 members in the Diamonds Challenge League.
Expectations:
1. Check in with your buddy every day via MESSAGING (not just on forums)
2. Check your division thread regularly
3. Say as much as possible when writing to your buddy and when writing on the forum
4. Post the Question of the Day on your assigned day**
5. Use your team logo in your signature.
6. Submit your weekly loss or gain.
Unfortunately, each round we have to remove a few participants who fail to adhere to these guidelines... don't let that be you!
Please pay attention to the following important dates:
Sunday, June 12th
First day to register for the challenge
Friday, June 17th
Last day to register for the challenge
Friday, June 17th
You MUST weigh in on Friday BEFORE 7 p.m.
Monday, June 20th:
1st day of the challenge! Let's go Diamonds!
So, how do you sign up? There are three easy steps!
1. Reply to this thread with your name AND reason for joining The Diamonds Challenge.
2. Follow this link and complete the registration form:

My name is Lauren, and I would love to join this group. I have been in a few other challenge groups, but I think I would really benefit from the requirement to check in with a partner! I tried one of the biggest loser challenges that was set up, but my partner never accepted my friend request or answered my messages!!! I can't wait to be a part of a challenge like this! It's exactly what I've been looking for!!!0

Hey my name is Jessica and i would love to join this group. I have never been apart of these challenge groups before, however i think i would benifit greatly from it because i would have to check in everyday and i feel like doing this i would be motivated to stay on track.0

Welcome Lauren and Jessica!0

Hi Jamaica! I'm ready for round 3. I decided that stepping back from MFP would be disastrous to me. THank you for heading this up again for us! I would like to be a Diamond.0

Hey Miss Jamaica, I signed up on the spreadsheet. Do I need to sign up here too?0

Hi I would really like to take this challenge because it sounds like you guys/gals are serious and I like that, but my only concern is that I'm not that good with navigating through things on this site. I really didn't know what you were talking about in the guidlines about the forum and other things. so if you would accept me and be willing to give me a partner who is patient and willing to teach me I'm in, if not that's ok too. laura0

Yeah!!! You made my day!0 -
I'm new at MFP so this would be my first challenge. I like the 'buddy' aspect and the fun competition. Being committed daily to the challenge will help me meet my goals: log in for 30 consecutive days and not gain any more weight.0

Hey Laura!
No problem, the guidelines sound more confusing than they are and I will find you a great Diamond veteran! This is actually one of the easier challenges to follow because I am pretty good about giving you all the information you need. Check out my profile page for a lot of useful information!0 -
