New Year - New You!!!


It’s that time again to get your booty in shape.

How it works –

$25 buy in - Money is due by January 10 to keep you in the competition.

Weigh in every Monday by emailing or texting me a picture of you weight on the scale by 10 am. No one but myself will ever see your actual weight.

*Any weights that are .5 and below will be rounded down and any weights that are .6 and above will be rounded up.

Penalties-
 $1 for every pound gained in a week

If your weight stays the same, no penalty

$5 for every missed weigh in, so even if you have no change please send in your weight by 10 am.
Penalty money will be kept separate from the main winnings amount.

Send in a before picture of yourself. I know it’s not the most flattering thing to take but you don’t need to wear a swimsuit. Just wear a tighter shirt and pants. Then we will take after pictures. I may post the top 3 winners at the end, but mostly these pictures will help me to know you didn’t cheat.

Contest will run for 10 weeks


Rules – this is a lifestyle change so we want to focus on eating healthy and getting our bodies moving

NO- fast fixed diets

No- diet pills or supplements

No- juice cleanses

No- medical aids

No- laxatives

If you have questions about something being ok or not please ask.

  
*If I do catch anyone cheating you will be disqualified and you will not receive your money back.

*If you chose to drop out of the competition your money is {non} refundable......NO EXCEPTIONS

 

Winnings

 
Winners will be determined by percentage of weight lost. (starting weight – ending weight / starting weight x 100)

 
Each week I will post the weekly percentages and overall percentages for everyone. This will give you a good idea on where you stand each week so you can push yourself for the next week.

At the end of 10 weeks

The top 3 people with the biggest percentage lost will win money. (After everyone has paid and I know how much money we have for sure I will post the amounts. 1st will receive the most money)

 

The remaining people not in the top three will be put into a raffle to win the penalty money. This will hopefully help keep you motivated to stay in the competition.
(I'm thinking of changing this to anyone not in top 3 that has lost 5% or more will be put into a raffle, just to keep you motivated more to keep working. I want to hear your thoughts on that.)

 

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. And if you have any suggestions for changes in the contest I’m open to them.

 

Here’s to a new year and a new year!!!!

Saturday weight in-
Everyone is invited to weigh in.
Please come to my house between 9 and 10 in the morning for the final weigh in. I would suggest weighing in on the scale that you used for your first weigh in. So if it was your own scale bring it.
I know some people are worried about wearing clothes while weighing in. (you naked weirdos)  Maybe weigh in at home and see what clothes add the least amout of weight to you.
If you don't live nearby, please send in a video of your weigh in at your house. And if there is some way to show the date when you weigh in that would be great.

You guys have been doing awesome! I'm so glad you all decided to join me on this journey, and I hope that it was worth it to you!

Sidenote: I'm kinda mad.... last week I found a blog that had a weight loss contest and they did it different that would have made things easier for everyone to have a chance to win. They had a winner for pounds lost and they also had a points system for weekly challenges they did. And the person with the most points also won. So that made it so people that were working so hard but weren't dropping weight could still have a chance to win something.
So in conclusion.... if I ever host another contest, it will most likely be one that has points and pounds!!! I just wish I would have found the idea 10 weeks ago!!!

What an upset in the top 5. That was really hard for me to come to terms with. Stupid plateau. But great job everyone!!

How do you guys feel about having the final weigh in on Saturday March 10. That way people can weigh in when it's morning and hopefully get a better weight. Remember this is a live weigh in at my house. Also does everyone want to weigh in live or should we just do the top 8 or 10 people? Let me know your opinions.
