Official.Business ;)
[This is the same note that was posted on facebook, so if you read it there, no reason to re-read it... well unless you just enjoy our writing.;)]
Well ladies, you are here because you've shown interest in joining our Biggest Losers challenge! In case you were wondering, Casey came up with the idea, and I pushed her to start it. :) So we're working together as team to have a positive weight loss effort amongst friends! Hopefully we can encourage each other, and hopefully some of you will meet new people through this process. :)
Down to business So. .
I heard something about a price? How much is this going to cost me?
It will be $10 per person to compete. We're not too worried about collecting the money right away, since we won't need it until the end of the competition. When you're able, you can give it to either Casey or Kelly and we'll keep track on a spreadsheet. If we don't have it by the end of the competition, well. it's off with your head. ;)
What's the purpose of paying $$?
We'll be dividing the money, and half of it will go towards the winner, so in addition to bragging rights, you'll get cold hard cash! (or a really neat prize. we're going to do a poll to see what you all would like more, and we'll go from there.)
Well what's happening to the other 1/2?
Investing in the Clear sister's futures. JOKING. The other 1/2 will go to charity. The person who has the lowest % of weight loss gets to choose the charity.
When is the competition starting?
January 1st. Happy New Year! Weigh in, sometime that day and email us us by midnight what your current weight is. Email to.. slim.possible.10@gmail.com or, if you don't have internet access at home, you can call Casey. Email us for her number.
& How long exactly are we doing this for?
Competition takes place for 12 weeks. So our final weigh in will be March 26th.
About this "weighing in" thing, where do we do it at?
The luxury of your own home! We're trusting that you all have access to scales... set at zero;) & also that we can be honest when reporting how much weight we've lost each week. - We will weigh in each Friday, and email our weight to Casey at slim.possible.10@gmail.com She will then compute your percentage lost from the previous week.
Well how will we know where we're standing in the competition?
Check out http://missionslimpossible10.blogspot.com/ [you're here ;) ]
We will each have user names (that you can think of yourself)
It can be anonymous like.... anonymous1 or bluegal2 or something that doesn't tell your name. or if you choose, it can be something that gives you away.. clearsister1.. kellyc.
The blog is completely public, so that's why we're giving you the option on whether or not you want to have a secret user name or not. We will never post your weight on the site! Unless of course you post it yourself, [through a guest post].
Of course, we will have to know your user name, to update your % on the blog.
Throughout the week, we're encouraging you to post to the blog on how your status is going. If you've had any encouragements.. difficulties.. any neat quotes, recipes or food articles you find. (this isn't mandatory... just an option, so we have something to read on the blog during the week :) ) You can email these to slim.possible.10@gmail.com and we'll get them posted for you. :)
At the end of 12 weeks, we're going to have a little get together.. to celebrate the weight we've lost!
I don't live in the area.. can I still compete?
Absolutely! Since we weigh ourselves, there is no reason that you can't do it from another city.. state.. or even country! ;) You may not be able to attend the "Awards Ceremony", but you can be there in spirit.
I have a spouse, sister, brother.. etc that wants to compete, but they don't have the internet..?
That's okay! You can email us their information, or they can even call us each Friday, when you send us an email that you're interested, just let us know those details.
Okay, I'm IN! What now?
Send us an email, at slim.possible.10@gmail.com, letting us know that you're in, along with your address we'll send you a confirmation email. :) - That would be the place to email us any additional questions also!
