Go right ahead! I'm working 14-16 hour work days right now so I (unfortunately) have very little time to dedicate.

I'm back (kind of...). Congrats to everyone! :) Another quick note - please let Crissie or myself know if you're changing names on here. Carlyannabell was mykids4evr and I only know that because I recognize the picture. If I hadn't, her results wouldn't have counted because there was no "Carlyannabell" on the spreadsheet.…

hijude, you weighed in last week at 287.5. I won't be able to enter your stats until I know if you weighed in at 287.5 or 288.

The "pot" is up to $110, and is still open for participation.

I am "le same", sigh. This coming week should be good but it's I have a cottage party going on next weekend so I'm not sure how that will go for healthy eating.

You didn't weigh in initially. I'll take 150 as you starting weight as you said you're "still" there. Please try to be diligent about the Friday check in.

At the initial weigh in you said you were 201.4, not 199.9. Please confirm.

You initially weighed in at 148. Not sure which one is right (the initial in the 100's or the second in the 200's), so can you confirm please?

You did not make it for the initial weigh in. I will add you this time as this is the first week, but as a future reference to other posters, due to the nature of this competition we do not typically accept people midway through.

Thanks guys! I went to the beach (in board shorts and a tank, but hey, it's not long sleeves) and pigged out all week, haha. It was especially hard when we were stuck inside for two days because of the weather. Movies and junk food! But I did it without guilt, and had a great time. Not back to business!!

216.2 lbs Up more than expected, but I was on vacation all week in which we ate a ton of junk, and the only "exercise" was playing washer toss, haha. Next week will be better. :)

Yep, received.

Received!

I'll agree with the above. :) I'm probably going to keep the Initial Weigh In thread open until this evening (or maybe early tomorrow AM for time changes). For the money, however, I'll leave that up for a few weeks. I don't personally have a problem giving people a few weeks to gather things/make arrangements/decide if…

We're already @ $90 for the winner!

213.6 after breakfast... forgot to weigh in first, oops.

Did you send it to the right email address (summerslimdown@hotmail.com)? It's not showing up. Could just be a delay though.

Do you mean send via mail? PM me, we might be able to make arrangements.

mgoetsch1982, mom2boys3, and KayTay612, your payments have been received.

Tinkerbell, mlssanne, jadeanstey, and Janiot, all of your payments have been received. :)

And then, of course, there is the prize... iwonajakubiak is our winner of the prizes! She lost 25.1lbs for the total of 13.98% body weight loss, as stated about. And now she's gets $170 to buy some new clothes. ;) (I'll privately message you the details.)

I'm going to start doing the calculations... we're still missing some people but I'm sure everyone is anxious to find out. If anyone in top contention hasn't weighed in, I'll send off a quick message and wait until tomorrow to post the results. And thanks guys, it's been fun! :)

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…

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".

There will be a new thread every Friday for weigh ins. Just keep your eyes peeled. :)

How is everyone doing?

Great advice! I really do need to WALK... just start actually exercising. My roomie calls it "walk to sweat"... he lost 20 lbs doing this without changing his diet (obviously not the ideal but he's a guy who was unwilling to give up beer and cheese, haha).

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.

Yep! Another poster (LilCrissieBug) and I will be handling the behind the scenes work. We will post a thread every Friday for you to weigh in and then we'll update with weekly stats. Also, don't forget to check back in during the week to chat or get and give motivation!

Nope, it works right here! Every Friday either Crissie or I will post a thread for everyone to weigh in (because this is online, we count on the honour system). A day or two later we'll post the results for the week, and that will repeat until the ultimate Biggest Loser is crowned! You can also use this space to discuss…
