BDW Biggest Loser ~ Season 8

Hi Ladies!

I am just testing the waters to see who would be interested in participated in a BDW Biggest Loser 8th Season! I am willing to host this time around, since I just participated in Season 7 and know the ropes now! I would like to start it sometime in the new year, perhaps in January at some point? Let me know if you are interested and when you think would be a good time to start. I would like to get a good number of girls to be in it this time, and stick with it! There are a bunch of weddings coming up in the spring; this would be a good little jumpstart!

MOD ALERT: Could we make this a sticky please?

BDW Biggest Loser VIII, this will be the initial weigh in - at which point you will send Natasha [nsbride2010] your starting weight along with a photo of proof. This season will last 12 weeks.

PM Natasha [nsbride2010] for her email address if you would rather email her your pictures. As long as you send it some time on Wednesday and include your screen name, weight, and a photo, it counts.

Please PM Natasha [nsbride2010] with your intial weigh in. Then post up in this thread to let everyone know you're joining.

3. On the last day of the contest, take an after photo and send it to Natasha [nsbride2010] as long with your weigh in.

I'm interested

There's nothing like a group of like-minded people to help you reach your goals!

I'm a personal trainer and nutrition coach, so if you ever need any tips or quick workout ideas let me know, I have TONS of ideas.

I'm in - the second week of January would be good for me...but I'm pretty flexible!

moonpalace - that could be a great resource for us! We do challenges sometimes, so you would be a WEALTH of information! Thank you for the offer

I'm interested in participating.

Id be in again. I love punishment eh? Im thinking of signing up for a half marathon so it would help me kick my butt in gear!

Count me in!

Keep the interests coming!

Another thing to think about: what day of the week should weigh in be? We had Wednesday last season....
