what do you think about having a little weight loss competition?
Permalink Closed

what would you think of doing a little weight loss competition where we weigh in once a week, like on a Monday or something?  we wouldn't have to give our starting weight, but just trust that we would be honest in posting how many pounds we lost from Monday to Monday.

there could be a prize at the end, but how would we verify the weight loss?

ideas? thoughts?  I seriously need to lose some weight, and thought some accountability could help...

I'm in. I don't think there's any way to verify other than trust but I think the winner should be based on percentage, not pounds lost. It's too hard to quantify otherwise.

I'm fine during the week but I'd love some accountability for Monday mornings. I've been attempting to lose weight for a few months and spend about half the month doing really well and the other half the month not giving a damn. Hence the "really well" portion ends up being a losing the "not giving a damn" portion. Sucks.

Anyway, point being, I'm in because I'd love the added accountability.

sweet.  first weigh-in on Monday then? we can base it off what we weigh tomorrow morning?  I agree on the % vs. lbs also.  maybe we could post % for week as well as total % to date.

I'd like to have a prize that's clothing related.  maybe the winner would be whoever reaches 100% of their goal weight loss...  but then that would be tough, because not everyone has the same amount to lose, and there's too many variables...  I just feel like we should have a deadline, prize at the end or something.  maybe when we meet our goal weight we just treat ourselves then model the treat in a threadstyle or something...  I have so many jeans I can't fit into right now, that would be a huge prize for me...

I'm in too - I've been trying to lose weight for 3 years now ... at least it hasn't gone up!  Looking better in what I already own will be prize enough for me.

Oh oh I am in!! I've been trying since New Years and really need the extra motivation before bikini season gets here.

So we're weighing tomorrow morning and then posting lbs lost and % on Monday?

 yup - that's the plan.  I'm really glad some people want to do this!  I think in combination with the diet/exercise logs that this will help...

I love this idea! I'm still working on those last 15 lbs that I put on with the baby. I've been slacking off on my exercise routine so I seriosly need a kick in the ass. Weigh in tomorrow then, yay!

I'm in. I've been gaining and losing the same 10 pounds since my daughter was born in May 2006 - I need to take those off again, plus another 10. Hopefully this will help!

I like your idea D - sounds like the thread that started at the beginning of the year and died off.  I'm in - 5 lbs for me too - I'd like to get ready for summer and get more toned.

I'm in too. I'm starting tomorrow. I've been horrible with my diet and excersize lately... I feel like I've gained 30 bazillion pounds in the past six months. I definitely need to get a handle on this! I agree that fitting into my clothes better will be a good reward."See" you all at weigh in!

Quick question before I got edit my response in the 1st week weigh-in (since I did it wrong) - are we weighing on Fridays and posting on Mondays in general or just for the first week? And then on Mondays for every other week?

I will get busy thinking about a prize for me. I think it will involve something I never spend money on - nice jeans. I could use some and I'd like for my ass to look decent in a pair before I invest the $$.
