Well, I'm a Northern Numpty (Sheffield), so we've got 2 teams already :laugh:

Last time the problem was limiting it. We had about 35 people doing it at one point which was a nightmare to keep up with. I think I'd get everyone to enter their own updates on a googledoc spreadsheet this time because I couldn't keep up once I was back at work.One of my MFP friends is up for it too, and I think she was in the Numpties last time ( @tracybewick- have I remembered right?)

We said if you have an emotional attachment to the North or the South, then sign up for that team, but if you're not sure, then take a horizontal line running through Watford Gap service station on the M1 (NN6 7UZ) and decide on that. We didn't have enough people signed up from Wales/ Scotland/ Ireland for separate teams, but who knows this time?

I ran it as an 8 week challenge (like biggest loser), but it might be easier to do 4 weeks at a time. We recorded weekly weigh-ins and there was an award for both individual and team's biggest weight loss and biggest percentage weight loss each week, as well as overall for the whole 8 weeks. Northern Numpties won last time :drinker: (by a whisker) so come on, Southerners- sign up to defend your honour!

I'm thinking let's start on Saturday. 8 weeks will take us to May12th.

I'll set up a googledoc spreadsheet for people to fill in. Thinking about it, I might start a new group just for the challenge, as the threads are quite hard to find in this group

This is what we did last time and it seemed to work. Most of the East Midlands would be Numpty territory...unless you're Daventry/ Northamptonish.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter that much- join whichever team will make you want to put the most effort in!
