LOCKED TOPIC
Biggest Loser Challenge Part 5 - Official Weigh In Thread
Here are the official rules. We weigh in every Wednesday. You will be responsible for weighing in. I am not going to track anyone down for weigh ins. If you miss three weeks in a row of weighing in then you will be eliminated. I will assign people to teams randomly and there will be three to four teams depending on how many people show an interested. For those who miss a weigh in your previous week's weight will be counted towards that week. This way no team is hurt or helped by someone not weighing in for the week.
Teams are more than welcome to start their own team threads and talk amongst teams but we ask that you start these team threads in the games forum. This is where the chat threads should be.
You have until Dec. 17th to sign up for this challenge. After that I will not add anyone to the challenge. You will have to wait until the next challenge starts up. This challenge will last 12 weeks. I will calculate results by the amount of pounds lost not percentage. We tried this last challenge and it ended up being about the same. I will post results hopefully by Sunday but not later then the following Monday after weigh ins. Again this is because I am not sure how many people will be interested.
If you sign up please make sure that you are willing to commit to the entire 12 weeks. I can understand dropping due to special circumstances but it can get frustrated when half the people who signed up dropped after a week. However, I do encourage anyone to participate. Just please think about your team members before you drop out of the challenge. If anyone has any questions feel free to message me on here or send me an email at the address in my profile.
I will update a team roster from the previous thread in the weight loss forum later on today. Everyone has been included up until this point. I also extended sign ups for another week because of having to move the sign up thread and some personal circumstances that did not allow me to start the thread right away.
