Description

While chatting with a few letterboxers about loosing weight, the idea came up to do it as a group. I chimed in and said “we should do it like the Biggest Loser”. Well thus, another Ohio event has been born. So here are the details, for anyone who’d like to participate.

1. Cut off date for joining will be November 26th 2008.
2. Teams will be announced on the start date of the competition which will be November 29th 2008.
3. The competition will go until May 29th 2009. (6 months)
4. I will host a celebration luncheon at my home on Saturday May 30th 2009 for all participants wishing to attend. At the luncheon there will be a prize for those who have reached their goal, the winning team will stamp into their box. There will be other prizes and surprises.
5. There will be no entry fee to participate. I will however accept donated items for the luncheon.

Now for the Rules

1. Each participant will provide me with their starting weight by November 26th 2008.
2. Each participant will provide me with what their goal weight is by November 26th 2008.
3. Each team will name a team captain. That team captain’s job is to help provide
inspiration for other team members. I would like each team to come up with a
team name.
3. Each participant will AQ mail me every Saturday their current weight. We will be doing this on the honor system. If I do not receive a participant’s weight on a given Saturday, that participant will just reflect a zero for that week.
4. Results will be posted on the Ohio Board every Sunday. No individual’s weight will EVER be disclosed. Results will be posted as a team effort. I will post an individual for a job well done.
5. Since I am participating in the weight loss portion, for the sake of honesty and accountability, I will have Tom Cat verify my weight every week. So no complaining whining or finger pointing about cheating there.
6. Please keep in mind THIS IS A FRIENDLY COMPETITION! And I cannot stress this point enough. Not only should we be congratulating our team members when they do well, but the other team also. Let’s keep in mind we are all letterboxers and friends trying to reach a common goal.
7. There will be a blog page provided so that we may chat amongst ourselves about whatever. Weight loss tips, great recipes, the 3am munchies…without driving the other OH folks nuts! 

That’s all I have for the time being. I will post if I think of anything else.

I just want to wish each and every one of you the best of luck!
