First I need to start by saying I am super proud of you all. The holidays are not an easy time to lose weight or even to maintain so those of you that did congrats!! Those that gained, don't beat yourselves up. It just means you need to refocus and start again with new determination.
Ok, enough chit-chat. Let's get to the results.
Quite a few of the "gainers" asked to have their percentage remain anonymous so they are all shown with a plus sign. (+)

Congrats Erin! You went from being bottom of the list to first place. If that doesn't motivate the rest of you I don't know what will.
Good job Logan as well. You sure like that second place spot.. There is another motivator for everyone, I know you all don't want him winning once again.
So speaking of next time.... Here are some details.
First things first: Let me know ASAP if you are in or not.
Start date: January 4th
Finale date: July 4th
Entry fee: $50 - $75 (INPUT NEEDED!! Please let me know what you think)
Due by: March 1st
Fee for weekly weight gain: $1 per pound up to 5 lbs, then $2 per pound after that
Weigh-ins: Weekly to determine money owed for weight gained (every Mon.)
Monthly to determine percentages (1st of each month)
We are going to do monthly weigh-ins a little different this time around. Everyone will weigh-in on the scale of their choice. Pick one that you will have access to for each weigh-in and get me your new starting weight by the 3rd. (Tuesday) Then each Monday and 1st of the month send me your new weight. The finale weight will be determined using your same scale but if I am not able to watch you weigh in you must send me a picture of your weight.
(The first weekly weigh-in will be Jan. 16th to give everyone a week and a half to get back in the swing of things.)
Lot's of fun challenges and competitions will be mixed in as well. If you think of any fun challenges you would like me to do let me know and I will fit in as many as I can.
I know things are crazy for everyone but please, please try to remember weigh-ins and get your weights to me as soon as you can on weigh on days. I will try to send out reminder messages ahead of time.
Awesome!!!!!! Yay! I did so good! I was even lower before Christmas...I gained 1.4 lbs back! So, be on the look out for the next round, I'm seriously motivated! :-)
ReplyDeleteOkay, for the next pot, we say at least $75, but Dru wants to know why not $100. That being said, we are open to whatever.
We LOVE the idea of weekly weigh-ins & the mini pots. This will be super motivating...ouch!
SO EXCITING!!!!
The reason we opted for a smaller starting fee was because people were conserved about amounts being too high after weekly weigh-ins. This is why I asked though because I wanted everyone's opinions so keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the question of outsiders was brought up again. I have heard from a few people aunt Pam might want to join. Taci also has a friend who has expressed interest. Yay? Nay?
One more thing, my house full of people have decided on yet another rule. Each monthly weigh in must be photographed and sent to me. I just need a picture of the weigh on your scale, not of you :)
Okay with pot. Andrew isn't feeling so good about non-family outsiders. Aunt Pam is one thing, but roommates or friends??? Not so sure.
ReplyDeleteNo problem with pictures.
I'm fine with Aunt Pam to join. I think we should keep it in the family though. I honestly don't want to get too large that it's harder to keep everyone honest... the more money, the more people, the more likely someone will not be totally honest. Not that anyone would do that. Tonight, when we were discussing the fee, I said we should do the 100 fee, but not everyone liked that. I'm fine with whatever is chosen.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to get a 2nd place finish this time. It's 1st all the way... Gotta get in shape for Ragnar this June!!!
Okay, fine! We can keep it in the family... I just had a friend that was super jealous we were doing something like this and she couldn't be included.
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with the pictures - I actually really like that idea!
I still like the $100 fee with the little mini pots each month. One thing about the mini pots - do we just pay at the end or are we tallying those monthly and sending the money to the you or the winner?
After seeing myself in last place - I am geared up and ready to win!!
I have heard from quite a few people they want the pot to be $100 again so unless I hear differently from anyone the entry amount will be $100.
ReplyDeleteAs far as weekly money owed I will keep a tally and totals will be handed out on the 1st of June or close around that. Then everyone will have just over a month to get the money owed to me.
If I don't have your weight yet get it to me quick! Tomorrow is day 1!! And we have for to start it off with a bang!
