Nestie Biggest Loser?

So, anybody care to start a Nestie Biggest Loser Challenge? No idea how to make it work - let's discuss. :)

Re: Nestie Biggest Loser?

  • I'd be up for it.  I know they have these challenges all the time on the weight watchers boards but those girls can get vicious so I've never done it. 

  • We did one over on the Knot in the spring of 2006 and it was fun .... ahem, I won, barely   :)

    OUAmanda "hosted" it and there were maybe 6-8 girls involved?  We did it off the board, through email.  We emailed her our weights every week or two and she would send an email out indicating our percentage of weight loss and the standings.

    At the end it was on an honor system for everyone to mail their $10 (?) to the winner.

  • I would be interested, depending on when it starts.  And might have to drop out in the middle.  :)
  • I want to do it!!
  • I'll have to join in next time.  I would just skew all the numbers.... gaining for the first 4 weeks and then rapid (I hope) drop off after that point - LOL!
  • I would be willing to host...

    I like the idea of doing it via e-mail so as to not share my crap weight with the whole world. :)

    So, everyone can email their starting weight, then weekly updates. We could do it for 10 weeks or 12 weeks...and then everybody mails the winner the prize...$10 seems like a good amount.  Winner is whoever loses the most % weight. :)

    all agreed?
  • I'd love to participate!

    Maybe we can even get together and walk to encourage each other :-)

    If you need it - my email is waldenmyer at gmail.com
  • Sounds great!  The sooner we get started, the better :)

    If you wanted to, we could create a group in SparkPeople (the MM Nesties did that previously).  I don't use SparkPeople to log food, but I'd use it to log weight loss and to communicate.

    Or we could just create a Google group...just thinking of a way to communicate, share recipes, exercise tips, etc.  I'd be more than happy to create either of those groups and help maintain if you don't want to, RieTea (but if you do, feel free!)

  • BuckeyeChik...I'll keep track of the weights/weekly emails with updates if you want to start a messageboard/sparkpeople group for encourangement stuff...
