The time has come for us to start a new Biggest Loser contest! We are excited to begin again because we NEED to begin again! We still have flab we want to say good-bye to and muscles we want to build up and show off! We all should say (as Dad/Don does every time he lifts weights :) " I AM STWONG!!" OK, this just HAS to be our new motto ! I have talked to Meredith & Eric & Christine and these are the ideas we have come up with so far. Please let us know what you think in a new post!
1. Weekly weigh-in and minutes exercised
2. We will set group goals of pounds to lose to achieve by 3 birthdays: First Christine's, August 26, then Mom's, September 18, and Mer's, October 24th which will be the ending date of the contest. For instance, If there are 6 people, we decide we want to lose 15 lbs by the 26th. That's 2 each and a few more we hope some of us will achieve.
3. We will each post our own Weekly Goal . i.e. the first week my goal is to lose 2 lbs and exercise for 300 minutes. Posting it for all of us to see should make us more determined to achieve our goal! AND our own personal challenge, like... One time this week I will run for 10 minutes (that would be 3 times longer than I have done this). So whatever YOU choose.
4. We will each post our diet plans at the begining. It is important to know what you will eat because we have discovered it really doesn't work to say "I'll eat more healthy" or something generic like this. You need a real plan like "low carbs" or "Low fat" or "South Beach" or "High Protien" . However you want to do it.
5.We will have Weekly CHallenges which we will take turns choosing. (most water, no sugar, most minutes exercising etc.)
4. AND WE WANT MONEY AT THE END! How about we charge $20 per person again and Dad and I will put in $100. We could say Winner take all OR have a first and second place OR wait and see if our totals are so close that we need to divvy it up between the Biggest Losers.
I will handle the money and will want it sent in soon. We hope to start this week so chime in with your opinions quickly!
Let's make this work and start getting STWONG!
The e-mail message went out to Eric, Mer, Christine, Karen and Bryce

Sounds good to me. When do we start? This Tuesday?
oh and how is the winner determined? The points thing again? All I know is that I don't want to get obsessed and stressed about it this time. I was kind of liking the idea of NOT having a cash prize so that it took that pressure off. I just want it to be fun and healthy!
