    I'm in.

    But, I want to know how to join the group. I tried once and got an error message when I answered why I wanted to joint the group, I tried again and thought I was "approved by leader" but I still get a message that says I need to join the group to view it's content and the "join" button has disappeared.

    Yes, could you please?
    I might be interested in this as it would be an extra push that I need.

    @FranPhillips5 @boehle

    The trainers are basically like team leaders. Right now we have 45+ people that said they would like to participate. Those 45+ people will be paired off then those pairs sorted into teams. These teams will be named after their “trainer”. For example if the trainer was Bob Harper (which none of the trainers are Biggest Loser trainers) then the team’s name would be “Team Bob Harper”. Some of the challenges will have some influences from the trainers such as the kind of fitness they are known for.

    I’m still playing around with some ideas of how to involve the idea of the trainers into the challenge more. But for now you can just think of them as the Team names. Hope this makes sense.

    Awesome
    I would be interested in being a leader.

    Would like to join too please. Making things fun and sociable is my number one motivator, so a game is ideal, exactly what I was looking for thank you!

    @boehle There are no "Leaders", maybe I'm not explaining myself correctly. The trainers are just the names of the teams but there will be challenges that are based on those real trainers, such as their actual workouts they are known for. Hope that clears things up a little more.

    @Tracie_Lord you have the whole week 1 to give your starting weight. So you can just give your starting weight on May 4th if Friday is your weigh in day.
