12 week challenge!
Everyone enters each of the 4 categories automatically:
1. Most weight lost in pounds.
2. Most weight lost in percent of starting body weight.
3. Most BMI reduction points (i.e. you go from a BMI of 27 to 24, that is 3 points).
4. Percent of weight loss goal achieved (be serious and have a challenging goal!).
Post your New Year starting data between Jan. 1st, and Jan. 4th by midnight Pacific Time. I realize that early birds will get a head start but I want to make sure we can catch everyone that returns from the holidays and those guys who only read and post during work hours (!).
Starting data needed (if you want to compete in all categories)
Screen name.
Starting weight in pounds.
Body height in feet/inches (required for BMI competition)
Weight loss goal in pounds.
Post your data every two weeks by Monday night midnight. I will compile the data and announce rankings every two weeks. Final weigh in is on Monday March 29 before midnight Pacific Time.
Bonus points for body and scale and other pictures for documentation, even if the starting ones are kind of gross.
And last but not least, I will reserve the right to continue with a "keeping the weight off" competition after March 29, where we assure no yoyos by continuing to weigh in. Also expect a holiday competition next year to see who puts on the least over the holidays.
