Anyone interested in a Biggest Loser type competition?

I was thinking maybe run it for 12 weeks, starting on 1/5

Each Monday, we post current weight (we'll have to rely on the honor system here)

Whoever loses the highest percentage of weight between 1/5 and 3/22, wins the prize. Maybe 3 to 5 sticks a person?

Winner will have to post before/after picks just to prove it is not a complete fabrication.

Might be a bit of extra incentive for a few of us and allow our competitive natures to do some good for us.

Any interest or suggestions?

well, it's still based on a percentage of your weight, so 10 lbs lost on you, could equate to 30 lbs lost on us big people.

Heck, I'd be in, even though with my weight I'd probably have to lose ALOT to win.

I'm almost afraid to find out what I do weigh now...

Simple. Weigh in on Monday the 5th. We track our weight improvements every Monday. After 12 weeks, whoever has lost the most percentage of body weight wins.

We use the honor system for the weigh in's, but we should all take a picture of ourselves at the start and end of the competition. The winner will have to post both to claim their victory (not that we don't trust you).

Right now it looks like we have 3 people interested, anyone else?

I know I saw a lot of resolutions to lose weight, so I was expecting more.

Only three? Maybe we should bring this up on the "General Discussion" board and see if a few more people might notice? Just a thought.
