For the Spring Scorcher BL, we had an optional money side of things for those who wanted a little extra motivation. We set it it at $10 for the last one, however where this is shorter I was thinking we could set it at $5 (though that's entirely up for discussion). With the last competition nearly all the people who put money in stayed till the end and lost a good bit of weight - and the winner will get $170 to treat themselves! I think it served as a little extra "oomph" to motivation those who partook.

This results in there being two "winners" - there is the overall Biggest Loser and then there is the Biggest Loser out of those who decided to participate with the prizing.

If this is something enough people are interested in, I will create another Paypal account. Putting in money is quite simple (and Paypal accounts are free), and at the end of the competition the winner will get to take over the Paypal account (and they can transfer the funds directly into their bank account).

Let me know what your thoughts are on the matter!

    Okay, so who would like to do $10 and who would like to do $5? If everyone would like to do $10, then great... if not, I think we should stick to $5 to avoid excluding those who would prefer to put in less.

    I'm not entirely sure. Will you be using your phone for the duration of the competition? If you aren't able to do Paypal via your phone and you'll have Internet access in a few weeks, we can make arrangements for you to chip in a little "late".

    If you have a smartphone you can! I use paypal on my iphone.

    I think $10 would be great!

    Okay, I just set up a Paypal account. People can start sending transfers anytime now... I'm going to say $10 as that seems like the trend here.

    The email address for it is: summerslimdown@hotmail.com

    Please include in the payment or on a message here what your user name is.

    We'll keep the money side of things open for a few weeks to let everyone decided if they want to partake and get the transfer done.
