Anyone fancy another North vs South challenge?

About a year ago, we did a Team UK Biggest Loser challenge on MFP, with two teams- the Northern Numpties vs the Southern Softies.
I've been looking for a challenge recently, but haven't seen anything to really get me motivated like that did.
Would anyone else be interested?

I live in the Midlands but originally from down south, so happy to be a Southern Softie... How many do we need to get the challenge going?0

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!0 -

I got 10 weeks till my holiday and I want to be down 2 dress sizes! I have lost 12.75lbs but still not a dress size down, boo hoo! x0 -
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 group0 -

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!0 -
What does the challenge involve? Or is it weight in only?0
-
ooo Ok I live in Scotland, but orginally from Bristol so a southerner, so if enough Scots join to make a team, I'm team Scotland if not count me as a southerner! I don't have too much to lose but need a challenge so as long as its done on percentage like Biggest Loser then I am all for it!0

Great idea! I'm in. Also a midlander, from Manchester originally so definitely a Northern Numpty0

Can I sign up for Wales?0
