Hey ladies-
I know we've had a few threads started in the past discussing weight loss and I'm wondering if there's anyone who's ready to take it to the next level with me?
My idea is not new or inventive, but it would hopefully be something just for SSD members (because I think you're all awesome!). I've had success in the past with a private team-based forum with a set-up mimicking that of the TV show "The Biggest Loser". But, I dropped out due to time restraints just before my wedding last year and it didn't allow people to re-join, understandably. Side note- No eliminations during the 8 weeks like the show, everyone stays!
You can see the forum here- www.teresavictor.com/biggestloser Registrations are being manually turned on, patience please. Usernames need to be first name_SSD username (unless your first name is your username). For example: Teresa_DigiKitty. Username blast from the past!
The 8-week challenge would begin this Monday, July 21st with our first weigh-in and continue until Monday, September 15th. Sign-ups will be required by this Sunday at 8pm EST. Teams will be announced on Monday, the 21st.
How it Works- There will be 3 teams (chosen by me based on starting weights to even out the teams). Each week there will be two challenges- a lifestyle challenge and a physical challenge where you earn points for your team (ETA: Physical challenges are exercise-focused, not overly physically demanding, just designed to get you movin'.). An optional bonus challenge may also be issued. Weigh-ins will be on Mondays, the team with the highest percentage of weight loss earns 20 points that week, 15 points for 2nd, 10 points for third.
Conditions- Everyone is welcome, regardless of your gender, age, fitness level, how much you have to lose, what weight loss program you use, etc. Challenges will be friendly for all participants. If you sign-up to participate, please pledge to complete the whole 8 weeks. While I'd prefer if you sign up now in the forum, you don't leave...., you'll have until Sunday at 8pm EST to drop out if you want to, just send me PM. Teams will be capped at 20 members each, so only the first 60 people who sign up will be approved until others drop out (doubt we'll get that high!).
If you're interested, please sign-up in the forum above and I'll get you set with permissions ASAP. Please be patient with me....I created this tonight and have never attempted to administrate a forum before. LOL This will be an adventure!
