edited September 29 in Introduce Yourself
I'm looking for some people to compete with in weight loss. I'm a competitive guy and figure it might be motivational to compete against others. If you want to compete please let me know. We will base standings on weight loss percentages. Each week the last place finisher will be asked to donate $5.00 to a charity of your choice. Only join us if you are serious. If you are interested please send me a friend invite. Weigh-in and donation is honor system. LETS GO WE CAN DO IT.

    How many weeks will this competition go on for? Because I'd like to suggest that maybe the loser of each week should donate the week number to charity. For example, if the competition lasts 12 weeks, the first to be kicked out must donate 12 dollars. Week 2's loser donates 11 dollars, etc.

    Ah, do I make any sense? :) Lol. It doesn't matter. I'll go along with 5 dollars, of course!

    Oh, I understand now! :) I thought the loser was getting kicked out of the competition after each week. That's why I suggested a larger donation for each week. But, this is so much better!

    Ok, I will join too =)

    Question though....what happens when we reach our goal weight and don't want to lose anymore weight? Does that make us "the" loser each week? This might be a dumb question though....lol

    If you reach your goal weight you are the winner already. That's the whole idea is to help us all reach our goal. If you reach your goal you will probably want to drop out of competition. I hope we all have to drop out for this reason.

    Oh man, I am saving up my money then. I have a feeling I'll be the "loser" quite a few weeks if we're playing until we reach our goals! Lol.

    I have a question for you, bomomar. Is there any way that I can use "last week's weigh-in" as the official weigh-in for the challenge? I just recently changed my weigh-in from Saturdays to Mondays. Now, I've got all my days planned out on a Monday to Sunday basis. I would weigh-in on Saturday's too for the challenge, but a part of my recovery from bulimia is to only step on the scale once a week. So, my starting weight would be 160.4 from July 4's weigh-in, and I'd report my loss for the week next Saturday as July 11th's weigh-in... Could that work?
