The first eight week challenge was a great success, and many of us are up for another eight weeks - we're opening it up for any newbies who would like to join the next round of the challenge. Please read below.
Background:
The thought came to my head because I joined the "losing weight in 2012" thread, but I didn't have much motivation, and I had no-one to be accountable to. I was thinking about the Biggest Loser, and how teams can be such a motivation. So, I thought I would throw this out there for anyone who needs to get some weight loss happening, but just can't seem to get off the couch.
The challenge:
Commit to an eight week weight loss challenge. You'll be assigned to a team, and your weight loss percentage will be measured on an individual and a team basis. The team with the highest loss percentage at the end of the eight weeks will be the winner.
This is a TEAM effort. If you lose, your team wins! Your weekly progress will be updated on the leader board for all to see.
The requirements:
You have to be willing to commit to the full eight weeks beginning 19/03/12
You have to be willing to commit to exercising a minimum of 4 x 30 minute sessions per week - the type of exercise is up to you!
You have to be willing to check in and update your progress and weight at least weekly. More often would be better.
You have to be willing to share your weight and your height. (By PM if you are shy)
You may not join if losing 1 lb / .5 kg per week will put you in an underweight category according to your BMI (check here) at the end of eight weeks
The prize:
A thinner waistline, and the opportunity to bask in the glory of the winning team.
Waiting List (commencing approx 28th May)
