BDW Biggest Loser: Season 6 ~ Official Thread ~ FINAL RESULTS POSTED!! (#869)

Since there are quite a few people interested in the 6th season of BDW Biggest Loser, I thought I'd start a thread for you all. Normally, I don't set the rules or come up with the entry fee, I let you all decide on that before things get started, so this is the thread to discuss all of the rules and the entry fee.

Here are the rules from Season 5 - if you'd like something to change, that's fine, but let's get the rules nailed down before the start of the season so it's clear to all who enter! Let me know (via PM in case I miss it in this thread) if the rules need to change. It's probably best to update the rules here in this post so they're clear to everyone involved.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT ANY RULES AND/OR DATES CHANGED FOR THIS SEASON OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

---

Anyone wanting to participate in BL5 can PM me (AnnR) and/or PayPal me the entry fee to <email address removed>. I need to reiterate NO CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. If necessary, cash or personal check will be accepted via mail.

BDW Biggest Loser VI will start on Wednesday, April 15th, 2009, this will be the initial weigh in - at which point you will send me your starting weight along with a photo of proof. This season will last 12 weeks, with the final weigh-in on 7/8/2009. Each subsequent Wednesday, you will send me your weight and photo before the end of the day. Weigh-ins can be sent via email, PM, text message - whatever! As long as you send it some time on Wednesday and include your screen name, weight, and a photo, it counts.

Sign-ups will go through end of the day Tuesday, April 14th, 2009. So please PM me (AnnR) that you are going to participate and/or send me the sign up fee, and then post up here to let everyone know you're joining.

i'm going to pm you now Ann. I'm in for this season.

Woohoo I'm sooo in this time PMing you now Ann...

This sounds so fun and this would give me some much needed motivation...I'm just thinking if we're doing this strictly scale-wise, I won't be much of a competitor as I lift a lot of weights (and I'm told muscle weighs more than fat). Are we allowed to enter if we use personal training? What does the entry fee cover? Sorry for all the dumb questions, just wondering how it all works.

 

Thanks!

I want to do this too! I always end up dropping out - but it is pre-summer so I am def. more motivated! And with all the people who are probably going to sign up the pot will be huge! Thinking about it..............

Ok sign me up, I could spare a few pounds this season.

OK - I'm in again...I have bachelorette party in Vegas in mid-May, site visit to Cabo at the end of May and the BIG DAY at the end of July.

I am in too!

 

You can have a personal trainer, lots of the girls who have done this have had one. The $15 is kind of a small incentive to win, gives a little motivation when the winner could win $300+ I think one season was around $600!!!

I am in again! By the end of season VI I will be ready for my wedding in August!!!

Thanks Jacilynda!!
