Lets Get Ready for Summer!!! Get ready to wear those tank tops and shorts or swimsuits and look Awesome!!!
I've learned how much more motivated I could be by getting into a competition that also "Pushed Me", sometimes to the limit, to make it another week in the competition and/or help my team make it another week and I believe those that have done this before have been successful for the same reason.
If anyone who decides to join has done my last one - It will be very similar and the same concept but anyone is welcome to join right now.
Roughly how it will work....
The first 1 or 2 weeks will be an individual competition strictly based on the challenges - the first (yet undetermined) amount of people will make it through to the next week - the following week will either be put into teams - or 1 more week of individual challenges. (Honestly here, I'm trying to weed out the people who aren't going to be committed to their team. If everyone on a team isn't committed then it hurts the whole team, and the individual challenges will also help me balance out the teams.)
Once I establish how many people and teams there are then I will be able to let everyone know roughly how many people will be eliminated each week. These challenges for some may be easy, for others may be hard but you will push yourself to do more to keep your team in it for one more week! For those of you who have done this last time - the challenges will be similar. - Ranging from giving recipes, to specific exercises, to specific calorie burns, miles, or food choice challenges, personal goals (and probably a mixture of all).
As this is a competition, I encourage some level of ("Fun and Still Supportive") "trash talk" between teams to keep everyone "going"! This is NOT meant to be negative! Just banter to keep everyone alive out there!
The first WEIGH IN for this competition will be FRIDAY, APRIL 13th or SATURDAY APRIL 14th by noon (you may weigh in either day). The first challenge will start on MONDAY APRIL 16th! If you are interested please post on here by THURSDAY, APRIL 12th so I have a couple days to put the information together. PLEASE don't post on this if you aren't really interested and committed to something like this.
And on a side note - I will be having a "side" competition for the weekly eliminated players (that are interested in staying in it) that will give 1 or 2 people a chance to get back in the main competition towards the end - to keep those (that are interested) still in the game and still working to the "main goal" of losing weight in a supportive, helpful environment!
Can't Wait to get started again!!!
To get an idea of some of the challenges - AND some of the weight the finalists have lost throughout them - you can view my blog - most all of the challenges from the last go 'round are there for viewing, as well as the final 7 Amazing #'s! Look that over to see if this is something you would like to do. You will be put into teams and each team has a chance at "immunity" most weeks!.

I'd love to do this challenge. I really need something to motivate me to stick to my diet. This seems like just the thing. Competitions always help me keep on track.0
-
YES PLEASE!!! I was totally pushed beyond my happy place during the last 11 week challenge. To say the least, I'm chomping at the bit to start a new one. Sheri this was the most fun I've ever had while doing exercises. Nothing like being held accountable to yourself and the rest of your team. I totally discovered how competative I was
I also made quite a few new friends who are very good at keeping each other (and me) motivated.
Thanks for hosting yet another one!
Anyone who has questions feel free to ask. The last one was amazing and I HIGHLY recommend you join

You do not need a gym membership - if you want to look over some of my previous challenges, please do. The challenges range from miles and calories to burn or go the distance plus personal challenges - none of which require a gym. You just have to do the "work". I don't EVER require specific exercises or specific ways things need to be accomplished - thats up to you....just need to go the distance.
Please friend me if you still want to give it a shot.
Here is the blog for my previous challenge - most weeks are still up - you can see the gist.

Im down! Ill send a friend request.0
-
me too. you should make a group for this
I do my teams off of my blog - tried the "group" thing and not a big fan. But some team leaders I have in the past do the "group" thing for their team. It works perfect for them. Which is great. For the first week or 2 it will all be posted on my blog until I break you up into teams, then your team leaders can decide how they prefer you to post your weekly progress.0 -
Count me in. I could really some motivation right now.0
