Details
- Title: Just do it! The 5 month challenge.
- Dates: Jul 14, 2008 - Dec 14, 2008
- Author: spygirl05
- Competing On: Weight loss percentage
- Structure: Individual
- Privacy: Public competition
- Prepaid Seats Available: 0
- Cash Prize: Each will contribute
- Contribution Amount: $40.00
- Description:
- Cut the crap, you know now is the time to lose that weight. I'm up for a challenge and ready to motivate others. I'm tired of being overweight and I'm sure you are too. Let's all work together and get rid of our excess weight. And a little healthy competition doesn't hurt. :-)
Rules:
1) Update everyone on your weight loss at least once a month
2)Show proof of weight loss. This can be a before and after picture, or a picture showing your feet on the scale. If you can think of other ways to show proof please do. I'd suggest giving the 'peace sign' in your pictures so we all know you just didn't download a random picture of feet on a scale. Hey, you never know.
3) This is a competition for money. Each contestant contributes $40.00. The prize will be the total amount contributed. Winner takes all.
4) Be on the honor system, lose weight healthily. Eat right and exercise more. You're only cheating yourself if you choose to lose weight in an unhealthy way. Be safe, go to a doctor if you want your weight loss progress monitored.
Share tips:
Yes it is a competition but we're all here to motivate each other. If you learn a certain exercise gives you a boost of energy, or a certain healthy food staves off your hunger let us all know. If someone reaches a rough spot give them support.
Have fun...
And let the competition begin!

Thanks! Kami and I are ready to stir things up! I wanted to get a group together, but only a couple of people wanted to do it, so I am glad that you are all here to get me motived! Thanks :)

Finally got my "before" picture up. Now it's time to get serious. Hope everyone's starting strong! Thank you for your supportive words.

Welcome new joiners. Last week was a tough one for me...usually the point where I give up. Read my journal.

Well, it seems that good things come to those who wait. I exercised for not all together too hard yesterday, but I think the 2 hours helped me to get back on track since I stayed steady the previous day.

Hello...I saw your post from the 9th to denisechambers and took the liberty of joining. I hope that's okay :).

No it is not too late to sign up. My original plan was to have a deadline to sign up but that's fine if more people join. I just joined another competition a little late, no biggie.

Am I too late to join this competition? If it's okay, are you still collecting money?

It seems birthday parties are the death knell for me. But I will prevail. I gained weight back this week. But next week, down, down, down!
