Hello all! At first I wanted to make it for those over 200 lbs, but I cannot discriminate, there are all sizes and shapes that are trying to lose so this offer is open to anyone!!

I am looking to put together a group of people who are willing to compete to lose the lbs and inches and fight to be named the #1 Shredder!!!

The challenge will officially start July 2, 2011 and End on September 2, 2011 and each Friday (. Starting weights must be posted of your current weight on the scale either as your profile picture or attached through photo bucket and posted on this blog before July 3 so I can verify starting weights)

We will be set up in four teams, group Red, Blue, Yellow and Green in which each team will have to lose the most weight each week in order to not face elimination. The other 3 teams will have to risk letting someone go. I think it will be a fun way to get in shape and help us get motivated to continue our weight loss!

Each week each team will be assigned different challenges. Once your team has completed all of your challenges then you automatically advance to the next phase. There will be different phases each week and if a team does not complete those phases you will remain behind while the others move on until you catch up. It sounds confusing but it will be fun! (example blue team has to walk 50 miles this week. blue team members will need to become friends and keep track of who walked however many miles. when the miles have been completed you contact me and u will move on to the next goal) Along with the team that loses the most amount of weight each week automatically advancing, the teams who complete their challenges first will automatically advance also, and it cannot be the same team that already beat elimination.

By the end of the 2 month challenge if complete color teams have been eliminated we will then elimitate individuals from the same team to try and gain a winner!

The wonderful part about this challenge is that everyone may not lose lbs each week, so if you would like to take your measurements as well, it will be also counted as a loss and help you to avoid elimination!

Let me know if you want to join this challenge!!

I need 30 people to sign up in order to have enough people for each team and last the 2 months.. Hurry and Get your spot!!

    Fat2Fab - have you thought about counting inches as well as pounds? It may be too much to do, but some weeks I've not lost pounds, but have lost inches......just a thought. I'll do it regardless.

    I'd love to be a part of the blue team if we can recruit enough people!

    Just to clarify... you want me to take a picture of my scale with my starting weight? Haha. Time to invest in a pedicure I guess.

    LOL well, maybe put on socks? the pic does not have to stay up long, just long enough for me to get the numbers off.

    I would love to jump in on this - buutttt you said its open to anyone - are you doing straight weight loss or % of weightloss. I have about 18 lbs more to lose and those don't come off quickly - while I love the competive challenge I know I can only lose 1-2 lbs a week likely so wouldn't be much help to a team unless it was on a % basis.

    I am balancing the teams so that there won't be uneven numbers like one team only have 5 lbs to lose while other teams have like 100. that would not be fair. You would be very beneficial to balance out one of our teams. Let me know if you want in, i have s spot for ya
