Now that the holidays are over let's get back to it. For those who are new to this challenge, this is the third PvP of this type that we've done. In the past it was 20 pounds in 10 weeks, but at the end of the last one, only a couple of people crossed the finish line. Also, with winter it might be a bit tougher, so we're gonna scale down and go for 10 instead. For those returning, I bolded or struck-through some changes on the rules. The "rules" are simple: Sign up by posting your name, and starting weight in the 10 lbs. 10 weeks challenge spreadsheet. You are also welcome to opt for less weight or less time. I added a new sheet for this challenge to the same old spreadsheet. All the info/details on it need to be updated, I'll do that before we begin. For now just add your name to the column labelled "Nerd". Introduce yourself to the group, discuss your goals, motivation(s), and strategies. Also post a current link for your challenge or battle log. This way we can see what we're doing (easily) outside the PvP, and track each other down to nag each other for accountability's sake. Cheer the group on. Stay positive, support others and draw on the support and advice of others. One of the main benefits of doing this is for accountability and support. Make this a positive place that people will want to keep coming back to. Post your favorite motivational quotes, funniest gifs etc. Make everyone want to spend time here, checking-in, gaining knowledge, gaining motivation. We definitley need more lol cats and such this time around. Weigh-in weekly regularly. Add your weekly weights to the spreadsheet. Instructions are given therein. You can choose whichever day works for you, but do so by the Monday following that week. Most people choose a day that tends to be their lowest weight due to their weekly workout routine. You can report your lowest weight for the week, or your rolling average... whatever is most meaningful to you. Weekly weigh-ins are suggested, but absolutely optional. All guilds are welcome. Try out sidequests. Whoever leads the pack in weight lost will propose a weight loss tactic for others to try sometime during that week. It could be something that you've done that works for you. OR it could be something new you want to try. Share your knowledge or drag other people into doing something new with you. All sidequests are optional and will not be scored or graded. BUT, they are a good opportunity to share ideas, and try new strategies. I figured we'd just drop the sidequest thing since we did so few on the last challenge. Also, I don't think I'll be able to keep up with a weekly leaderboard, so if someone wants to do that, please do.
