September Slim Challenge

Options
Hey guys,
I joined in with the Biggest Loser Challenge and loved it. I felt it really kept me hugely motivated and wanted to start my own challenge up to help others, too.

I was hoping to get one started on July running through until the start of September. It would be a percentage weight loss thing and I'd report on everyone's percentage loss once a week, then, of course, announce the overall winner at the end of the challenge.

I've got limited time so although it would be great to have teams doing it and competing against each other, I really don't think I'd have time to sort that out right now so was instead aiming for one team of committed people (perhaps about 20 people). I think this number would also be small enough for us to all get to know each other and give each other support.

There would be weekly challenges and a challenge winner but no eliminations as I don't want to put people off and also it would be a small group to start with so don't want to start eliminating people.

So, basically, I'm looking for people who:
-want to lose weight, make new friends and have some additional motivation
-are committed to doing the whole two months (it is a small group so I can't really having people dropping out right, left and centre so please only sign up for it if you know you can do the whole two months).
-are willing to contribute to a group (on the previous challenge a lot of people didn't contribute to posts etc. which kind of defeated the purpose of us having a group to help support and motivate each other so I would want people to try to post frequently on the group forum posts).

If you think you fit the bill and would love to get involved in something a bit different and motivating, reply to this thread! :)

Looking forward to hearing from you guys!

    All you guys that have posted so far are in. Sandy, don't worry about when you post, as long as you post! I'm guessing we'll all be on different time zones, anyway, so posts will come flying in at all different times (I'm in the UK, for instance).

    Once I have round about 20, I'll create a Group and get the link to you all for you to join.

    I'd love to join--will need something to help keep me honest when I head out for vacation in July. Hoping I'm pretty close to my goal by the fall, so this challenge will be perfect!
