Wt. tracker I tried to do my final weigh in. I am so excited. I broke out of the 130's and finished the race at 129.8 and it wont let me log it in. What a race.

I reactivated the weight tracker. I'm also considering extending it (leaving original starting info) but putting new dates on the left again.

That's great it will push me bit harder too be good

@MissionEnforcer If you decided to extend it can you add my name back on?

Boo! But thanks for letting us know.

I'm still hanging around here hoping for another race!

Anyone else still interested? This was one of my favorite challenges and it totally kept me motivated.

Perhaps we can put together a planning group to potentially launch a new race after the holidays? It doesn't need to be just one or two people doing all the work.

I would love another race, happy to help plan it @RaeBeeBaby

I would be in too

I had already privately prodded Hawkins about another, and good to see others would like to restart this challenge also!! It really helped me to get out there and get off the sofa knowing a team was counting on my exercise minutes.
And since I'm more so in maintenance all the "lose weight" challenges aren't doing much for me right now, and I need something to keep my activity levels up as I go through ebbs of personal motivation.

@RaeBeeBaby you do make a good point...if we all gather together and make it a team effort to do it, maybe there'll be less burden on just one person (or two) to continue it and do all the work.

If we have some guidelines (number of videos, number of challenges, types of challenges), I think a bunch of us could each put together a week of challenges for a certain location, and then be responsible for the questions for that week (does this count, does that count, can I do this instead, etc).

I've already offered to Hawkins to build out a week (or two or three) for locations based on places I've been (or doing research on places I'd like to go). We could even have people showcase their hometowns...I have a whole pirate themed one that I was thinking of for January (as it's our Gasparilla - the beginning of the pirate invasion in Tampa (festivities last for weeks/over a month)...argh!).

Some thoughts for locations I think I could put together:
Hometown Spotlight - Tampa (Gasparilla/Pirate theme (with some Cuban themes thrown in) - especially in mid to late Jan)
Turkey - Might be fun for around Christmas, as the guy who St. Nicklaus is based on was Turkey where I lived for a year...ironic given it's now a Muslim nation, so they don't celebrate Christmas, per se. (Though I'm not sure anything could beat that NYC Rockettes workout that we did last year.) I don't know what I'd put together for this but it could be interesting.
South Pacific Islands - someplace I've always wanted to visit, so would be fun to do some research on the culture(s). Not sure if it would be a focus on one island or do some island hopping to get enough put together.

The biggest thing is having an overall organizer to direct leg lengths (so the next location isn't too far or too close), review the weekly challenges (to be sure they meet guidelines), put together teams (and refill teams as people drop), and do the spreadsheet...though it seems like you could have a few people be put in charge of each area too.
