Hey everyone, are we gonna try this again? It is the middle of January, and it would be awesome if we all need skinny garb by May. Just sayin.' 

I have money from Driffa and myself for Katrine. Just a reminder, Katrine won the weight loss section last time, and Katrine and Nobu tied so the inches lost $ goes to Nobu. Driffa is the only person who came by to drop off $. I think we were all a bit distracted and busy over the weekend.

So, for the next iteration of the SCA weight-loss challenge I suggest a change. Firstly, I think dealing w/ measurements and weight was too much of a pain. I would like to encourage everyone to take measurements, but don't want to deal with them for the purposes of the challenge. Lets stick to the % of body weight thing. If you want in, post here with your starting weight sometime in the next week. I also think we should all be in charge of getting our own $$ to the winner (either at an event or via post if need be). This time I suggest we all put in $5 to the winner, since I am broke and $10 is seeming like a lot. And we should have the last weigh in be the Wednesday before May Crown so there is plenty of time to decide on a winner and post it before the event. Sound good?

Note: several people, including me, had issues come up with injuries last time. I hope this doesn't happen... but if it does, think of it as a good time to work on monitoring your calorie intake in a time of less exercise and still trying to stay healthy. Use this in whatever ways you can to help you with your life and goals - stay positive! It isn't just about winning, it is about being healthier and helping ourselves. I want all of my peeps to be healthy, strong, and happy.

Oh, and if you want in I'll put you into my health and fitness filter.

Edit: If you want in post here saying so and I'll create a new filter for this and a post that you can reply to w/ your starting weight. This way the only people who see are in it also.

I'd like to be in....I'm sick & tired of the losing/gaining shit I've doing to myself over & over again. So I'm in for real.

I'm in for this one...

even if I lose steadily between now and and May Crown, I still won't need "skinny garb", heck, even at my goal weight I wouldn't need skinny garb, but it would be great to wear a belt and look good.

And somehow $5 seems more possible than $10.

I'd love to be, but do I have to post my start weight??? Honestly, not a number I share with anyone.

my 2 cents is no, you don't have to post starting weight :) challenge isn't to make anyone uncomfortable. Just post 0 and then update with -1 or -20 or whatever you've lost. That's what I'd suggest anyway...

sounds good to me.

I approve of the honor system. It means you get to calculate your own % of body weight lost too, and I have absolutely no problem with either of those things.
