The rules of this year's competition are as follows:
On Saturday, November 5th, we will begin!
All participants will send a "Before" photo and a photo of their feet on a scale with something that has the date on it to Melissa Robison, singletonmd@gmail.com.
Both the pictures and the weights will be kept completely confidential.
Every Saturday morning thereafter for the next 12 weeks, all local participants will send photos of their feet on the scale before 11 am (west coast) to be counted. All results will be calculated against each participant's starting weight producing a percentage of total weight lost week to week. These percentages will be ranked and the top ten "Losers" will be posted on this blog each Sunday afternoon.
The entry fee is $25 and can be paid via Paypal to singletonmd@gmail.com.This money will be saved throughout the duration of the competition and used entirely for prizes to the participants. If $25 works and everyone enjoys the 12 weeks we can alter the amount for a larger prize the next round! There are plenty of prizes to win, but even if you don't win any money, you'll be healthier, and happier.
Weigh-ins will NOT be accepted after 11am (west coast time) on each Saturday.
Weekly Challenges
Each week, along with the top five results, I will issue a challenge for the week. Those who successfully complete the challenge will be allowed to enter their name in a drawing for a prize. These challenges are usually quite simple and require little to no extra time to complete.DIET AND EXERCISE ONLY PLEASE. To keep a level playing field for all competitors, use of weight-loss aiding drugs or extreme diets is not permitted. This includes cleanses or fasting for periods longer than 2 meals.
Prizes
The final weigh-in and Prize Giveaway Party will be held online on January 16th. Final prize amounts are percentages of the entry fees and entirely depend on how many people join the competition. The more, the merrier.The First Place Winner will receive 40%. The Second Place Winner will receive 25% and the Third Place Winner will receive 15%. In addition, a 10% participation prize will be drawn from names of competitors who missed no more than 2 weigh-ins. The remaining 10% of the entry fees will be used to purchase the weekly prizes.
Thank you to everyone that is joining in on this competition and GOOD LUCK!!
