BDW Biggest Loser ~ Season 10!

[DWBride615]

Hey ladies, This is a REPOST of the season 9 version, but with edits I made to fit this new season. I noticed a lot of ladies were interested in a new round of BDW Biggest Loser and so I figured I'd start the thread. I am happy to accept the new role as host of season 10's BDW Biggest Loser!! Best of luck, contestants!

 

A special Thank You to AnnR for moderating this competition for us!

 

BDW Biggest Loser X – Start date: August 27, 2010 – initial weigh in – to start, you will need to send Chelsea [DWBride615] your starting weight along with a photo for proof (photo of yourself plus the number on the scale). You can send these to: [email protected].

This season will last 12 weeks. Each subsequent week, you will send Chelsea [DWBride615] your weight and a photo of the scale (you don’t need to send a photo of yourself every week, just the first and last weeks). Weigh-in days will be on FRIDAYS. However, in the hopes that you won’t miss any weeks, you will have until each Saturday at 12:00PM EST to send me your weigh-in and photo for that week.

So, to recap the rules:

1. You will take a before pic of yourself and send it to Chelsea [DWBride615]. She will not share the before pic with anyone. Participants will decide if they want to share their before pics.
2. Every FRIDAY starting on August 27, send your weight by e-mail to Chelsea [DWBride615] at [email protected]. Also send a pic of the scale for proof, and if the number on the scale isn't clear, please also type in the weight in your message.
3. On the last day of the contest, take an after photo and send it to Chelsea [DWBride615] along with your weigh-in. If Chelsea [DWBride615] does not receive your weigh-in on that day, you are not eligible to win. Chelsea [DWBride615] will not share the after pic with anyone. Participants will decide if they want to share their after pics.
4. Chelsea [DWBride615] will calculate percentage of weight loss from week-to-week (for fun and motivation), as well as the overall loss for the entire group!
5. Chelsea [DWBride615] will post a weekly 'tip of the week' with a fun fact or advice on weight loss dieting/exercising every Sunday. Any and all members or contestants are free to post their own recipes/advice/tips on weight loss for other viewers to see.
6. The one who lost the most weight in terms of % loss at the end of twelve weeks will be the Biggest Loser!
7. If you do not send in your weight on time for 2 weeks in a row without letting Chelsea [DWBride615] know in advance that you're out that week, you will be disqualified.
8. If you become disqualified, or would just like to join in for fun, you can continue to send in your weigh-ins (but you will not be eligible to win).
9. For any and all communication for this contest, please send me (Chelsea) an email at [email protected] if it's something that requires my attention.
10. If you are banned from the forum for any reason, you will be disqualified from the competition.
11. There will be no "drama". If there is any such drama, Chelsea [DWBride615] and Ann [AnnR] has the right to disqualify participants or stop the contest all together.
12. The BDW Biggest Loser will be rewarded a 'BDW Superstar' banner!
13. BL participants are highly encouraged to frequently post in the BL10 thread – motivation and active participation are key to supporting each other!

I'm in   Thanx for doing this...can't wait to start!

[mrs*j*2011]

Count me in!  This is exactly the motivation I need to get my butt in shape. 

Thanks for volunteering to host.

[jkgirl83]

I'm in!!  Thanks for hosting!

I just spoke to Tammy Host and she notified me that we'll need a moderator to oversee BL in order for us to continue with the contest. I sent msg to a moderator requesting if they would moderate for us, and am awaiting the response. Hopefully, it works out. If it does, then we'll continue as planned. However, if not, then there'a possibility that the August 27th start date might have to be changed until we get a moderator.

Awesome, please count me in!  And thanks for offering to host.  Also, I must say that it is GREAT to have a separate e-mail account for BL messages, otherwise it is hard to keep track. 

 

I am excited

Count me in ladies - I will grab and camera tonight and take the photos as needed!

 

Thanks for the motivation

Ok all .. .here I am to kind of "oversee" this, so I am going to remain pretty quiet unless needed.  Cool?  I'm about 6-7 months pregnant right now, so no weight loss competitions for me right now!  lol  Maybe after the baby shows up - but then I'm guessing I will be a tad busy.

 

Tammy said we could (with this new forum) give a special badge to the winner - a "Superstar" badge, so there's your motivation!  WOOHOO!  Oh, and of course the slimmer, trimmer body too. 

 

GOOD LUCK!

[DWBride615]

Thanks to moderator Ann for taking up the 'overseeing' position.

 

Congratulations on the pregnancy, Ann, and wish you the best of health while the bun is in the oven =]

 

Since a moderator is confirmed, the starting date of August 27th will go as planned. Good luck, ladies!

[LCBride2007]

thanks!

 

at this rate, i think i will likely "find" all of the weight that you all "lose!"
