BDW Biggest Loser 3 SIGN-UPS! **DEADLINE TODAY!!**

Alright ladies it's that time again, you know the deal!

Anyone wanting to participate in BL3 can PM AnnR and she will tell you where to send your $15 entry fee. She has asked me to reiterate NO CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Bank transfers to her PayPal account ONLY, please. (Or I know last season she accepted cash and a personal check or two, but that is up to Ann's discretion whether she wants to do that again.)

BL3 will start on Wednesday, July 16th - you will send Ann your starting weight along with a photo of proof. Each subsequent Wednesday, you will send Ann your weight and photo IN THE MORNING. Not at 3 pm on Thursday for all you slackers

Please only sign up if you are going to take the challenge seriously, after taking it over for Ann for the last several weeks of the second season, I want to let you girls know it's a lot of hard work for the host to keep track of everyone and it's really annoying when people don't send in their stuff on time, or even worse, don't send it at all. I think we should consider instituting a drop rule for anyone who misses 2 weeks in a row (unless they have a valid excuse like their wedding falls during the 8 weeks) but I'll talk about that with Ann & maybe post a poll as well for all of you to give input.

Sign-ups will go through end of the day Monday, July 14th. So please PM Ann that you are going to participate, and then post up here to let everyone know you're joining.

Last round's winner lost 24.4 pounds! Oh and BTW, the last jackpot was $435! Good luck ladies!

Obv my fat ass is in. And Maura I'm sorry I was a total slacker last season and I didn't send in my last 2 pics b/c I accidentally deleted them b/c I took wedding pics that took their spots. LOL. I suck, I'm sorry but I promise to do better this time.

And Alyssa I'm sorry I was the worst buddy last season. I suck! Sorry...you deserved better.

I am totally in. I need to get a bit more motivation to keep me going!!!

I am in and looking forward to it.

I am in as well. I need to be accountable cause I have been slacking.

Im in again.

I am in ! Some A-hole asked my hubby when we were expecting!

It's on!

Oh yes I think that's me you are talking about being lame and quitting midway through -- I suck!

However, maybe I can make new buttons for Season 3. Any suggestions?

Okay, I made some! Copy and paste the IMG tag below the button and insert it in your siggy if you want. But DELETE THE ASTERISKS!!!!!! Ask if you need help.

I've never done this. Is the winner the one who loses the most pounds total or the biggest percentage of body weight? How do you do it? (given that some need to/can lose more than others).

BTW I love the button! It's very cute.
