May Crown Weight Loss?

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.

Count me in too.

I even brought my munny and forgot to pay....

BTW will you be at Ursulmas?

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.

Ok, I'm in for a fin!

I'll audit this class, and applaud everyone for their efforts!

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

[identity profile] nobu.livejournal.com 2010-01-15 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
