Okay--Flab to Fit 2012 is officially in motion. After input from different people, I think I am going to stick with the original point system. There are no men in the contest, so I think the playing field should be even. I know this won't work for people not wanting to really lose wight or exercise (those people do exist!) but I think this is the only way to make it work for the majority of the contestants.
How to enter:
1. Send $10 via Paypal to my Yahoo email address. If you don't know my email, leave a message in the comments section and I'll get in touch with you. Or find me on Facebook and send me a message: http://facebook.com/
2. Once you send in the money, go to Myfitnesspal and create an individual account. Be sure to note your username. My username is: themostess.
3. Send the username to me at my Yahoo email address, or at Facebook, and I will add you to the "FlabtoFit" group on Myfitnesspal. Here we can track our weight loss and fitness goals, post updates, post messages, pictures (Tiffany's butt--you go, girl!) etc as a group.
Official Rules:
1. The contest begins on Monday, January 9th and ends 6 weeks later on Sunday, February 19th.
2. If your goal is weight loss, record your starting weight on Monday, January 9th in the morning before breakfast. Record your stats, and keep them on record for yourself. No need to share.
3. If your goal is to gain points by exercising, start recording the amount of time spent working out on Monday, January 9th in the morning.
4. You get one point for each pound lost, and one point for each hour of continuous exercise.
5. We will determine the winner via the Myfitnesspal account on Monday, February 20th. The winner will then get the whole pot of loot. Cha-ching!
Thanks to all--good luck!! Let me know if you have any questions!

I'm in. Go big or go home. Maybe that's not the best motto for a weight loss competition. But nevertheless, I'm in.

Fraid so, Brett. But your wife can join! Not that she's fat.

Hey kaari, My user name is brookeharkness on the My Fitness Pal sight. Thanks for helping me add one more craptastic thing to my life....giving up junkfood. Moderation is my goal! If I can even change the little things..like oreos for a snack instead of breakfast I will feel like a winner!

ok, ok, I don't want to, but I need to do this. I have too many clothes I want to wear this spring. Just the thought of dragging three kids whining to the gym makes me want to give up now but somehow I'll give it a go.

I'm in, but I have to sign up later today. Only for the women? Bummer. I think I had convinced Christian to sign up. Maybe I can get him to compete against just me.
