How It Works

I thought this would be a fun way to lose some weight. I am hoping others are interested. If I get at least 5 people signed up we will go ahead with it. I was talking to a friend and she said they did something in Niverville along the same lines with great success. This won’t be exactly the same but similar.

• Starting weights need to be in between Sept.1- Sept. 15, 2010, official starting date is Sept. 1 but we will allow people to join up to Sept. 15
• Each participant will pay $20 (just over $1 per week).
• Weigh in is every two weeks.
• Runs for 17 weeks (Sept.1 – Dec. 29 – yes over Christmas!!)
• Prizes will be given out to: (please note amounts depend on number of participants).
• Biggest Loser (based on % of weight lost) 30-50% of fees collected
• One person who loses at 5% or more (random draw from all who lose at least 5%) 10-20% of fees collected
• One person who loses 8% or more (random draw from all who lose 8% or more) 10-20% of fees collected
• The rest will be determined after the total number of participants are in. If there are enough people we will have teams and the remainder will go towards team prizes. Teams would be based on total weight all together with each team weighing about the same.
• Weight lost is based on %, not by pounds lost. For example if you weighed 200lbs to start and lost 20 lbs your total percentage lost would be 10%. (starting weight/weight lost).

HOW DOES A WEIGH IN WORK?

• When you sign up you need to send me your starting weight (between Sept. 1-15)
• Subsequent weigh-ins are:
• September 22
• October 6
• October 20
• November 3
• November 17
• December 1
• December 15
• December 29
• Please use the same scale for each weigh-in.

Your weight will NEVER be shared with others.

• You will have to tell me your starting weight and report your weight every two weeks. I will keep it confidential. All stats shown on the blog will be in percentage form.
• If we have teams you can choose to share your starting weight with your team members. Some may want to others may not, it is up to you.
