I would like to start a group for people that have been stuck in a plateau, like me, that need a extra push to get things moving again.

These are the terms of the competition:
The challenge will last 8 weeks. Each week begins on Monday. Check-ins may begin on Monday and end on Sunday. You may weigh in on the day that is best for you just keep it consistent week to week. Final calculations will be posted Mondays along with the results of total lost and points for the week. There are 2 parts to the competition: Points and weight percentage lost. There will be Weekly challenges to help get some extra calories burned.

Points are earned 1 (one) for every minute of exercise (Strength AND/OR Cardio) and 2 points for completing weekly challenges. Each week, we will tally the total Points.
At the end of each month, the total average of points will be calculated.

Please let me know if you are interested. I have a spreadsheet created through google docs and will send a link to the frist 35-40 participants. I want to keep it smaller the first time so nobody gets lost.

    I am a little confused...but I am sure I will figure it all out when I see the spreadsheet. I have been at one of the worst plateaus of my time. The same weight since Thanksgiving. I would like to kick everything into high gear in the new year. Plus I like the points idea because I am very competitive :) Please include me

    I'm actually rather interested in this. I'm a little confused by the explanation, but I definitely need something to keep me going.

    You have done awesome! We will actually start 1/2 since that is the first Monday in the new year.

    Time to break my plateau of 4 weeks also. If you have room I'd like to be included. Looking forward to making it into "onederland" soon, hoping this challenge will help.

    Count me in. I need to get back into the swing and back hard. I had a very bad year and fell off the eating wagon. I need a challenge to get me going and keep me going.:smile:

    Hi just wondering if there was room for another?
    I have been on a plateau for well over two years now, and it really bugs my happiness!! Although i dodge around the top end of a healthy BMI, I really want to lose that last 14-16lbs just to smooth myself out a bit!

    I would love to join. I kept telling myself all year I would get back on track but didn't. I am getting married in October and need all the motivation I can get. :-)
