Three important notes:

1. There is a THREE step sign-up process listed below. Be sure to follow the THREE steps!

2. If you are already registered for Round 4 OR are on the waiting list from Round 3, there is no need to re-register.

3. All applicants will be placed on the waiting list, as the challenge is currently full. It is highly recommended that you join the waiting list if you wish to be a Diamond, as Round 4 was filled by the waiting list before it even started.

Hi Ladies!

We are currently seeking anyone interested in "buddying up" for a weight loss challenge that ends on August 12th. The goal is to stick to our diet and exercise goals with a partner. The Diamonds Challenge: Round 4 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. Please note that if you register but are not matched for this round, you will automatically be placed at the top of the list for Round 5.

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, DiamondDolls, or the Little Diamonds (ladies 5'4 or under). 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 90 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!


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 :

3. Carefully read the The Diamonds Challenge rules and FAQ. (These rules are for the Diamonds in the Rough Team, but all of the teams follow the same general rules).

    Hi,

    I would like to join. Do I need to register? I think I did for the Round 3 and was on the waiting list. Let me know. Thanks.

    Is it too late to join? I am only 5'2 so I guess I qualify as a little diamond ..... we just moved to an isolated area in Oregon so I am interested on this group because finding a motivation partner would be tough otherwise.
