11-15 players needed for the Fit-n-Trim to Win Elimination C

Starts Wednesday, February 8th

I have 13 people already signed up and would like to have some more!!

The contest lasts nearly 16 to 20 weeks depending on drop-outs. It is for the long run. It would be best if you need to lose about 20 lbs to be in it.

Criteria to enter:
1) You have a digital scale
2) You have a digital camera
3) You can weigh in on Wednesdays and post picture by midnight CST

So, I need 11 to 15 super-motivated and competitive people to play in the 4th Round of the Fit-n-Trim to Win Elimination Contest. Please reply to this post and you will need to PM me and let me know your interest so I can add you as a friend.

Here are the details!!

Losing team will eliminate one person with the lowest percentage of body weight.

The person with the highest percentage of weight loss gets an advantage for the next week.
There will be fitness goals and dietary goals for this contest. You will need to meet the requirements as a team. You will need to log your calories and have your diary open.
There will be some very different twists as the weeks go on. The advantages will include immunity; weight advantage and disadvantage, trading players. This might not be for you if your feelings get hurt easily; or, you hate losing; or, you have low self-esteem. This is supposed to be fun and good natured.

Weigh-ins:
1. We will weigh in every Wednesday. If you fail to weigh in on Wednesday, you will be eliminated and out of the contest. If that happens, no one will be eliminated for that week.

2. You can post up 2 weights for the weigh in days. I will pick the lower of the two weights.

3. If you are unable to make a weigh-in and know that you will be on vacation, please notify me at the start of the contest. I will allow a different weigh in date since I will know upfront and will allow a change. There will be no other exceptions.

4. If you would not like to be in the game anymore, do not post it on the thread. Send me an email, so that other contestants do not know and slack off. We’ll let them think someone will still be eliminated.
Second Chance:

Everyone deserves a second chance, right? So, for all the people eliminated, they will be put in the second chance category. We will have 2 opportunities for the second chance people to come back. I’m thinking Week 7 and Week 12. If you are the top loser of the second chance category, you will be allowed back into the contest.
How to weigh-in:
1. I will post a code word on the thread the night prior before weigh-in
2. You will take a picture of the scale: with your current weight, date and code word attached
3. You will post the photo on the link I will provide for each week

It would be really cool if you took a before picture. You don’t have to post now. However, if you are the winner, please post the before and after picture for us all to be jealous and admire.

You will write the code word “COMPETITON” on a piece of paper
Place this on or around the scale
Snap the picture of the paper and your weight

This is how to post your picture. Please do a practice one so that you are ready for the contest.

1) I use photobucket, upload the photo there
2) copy the IMG code
3) paste onto MFP
4) change the capital IMG to lowercase img

If you want to quit the game, please just don't weigh in. You can either PM me – or – post on the thread when you see that most of the people have already weighed in. We want to keep the game going and the motivation up. If we know someone is quitting; then, we feel "safe" and that doesn't help us with our goals.
