This sounds silly, but can we put a star (*) next to the winner's name/number on the chart and each time they win, keep adding stars? I know, like we're in kindergarten! Haha...but the stars will be motivation for all of us to try to get a star.

The chart looks great Scarlett, thank you!! I also love the BL aspect!

PrimeTime, I am down with posting some before and after pics. I have actually already taken some befores and was planning taking some more each month until the end of this. I can't wait to see everyone's results!

I had minor surgery this morning and I won't be able to do any working out, so for now I am just going to focus on eating healthily and I will start C25K back up sometime in June.

I'm very excited for this competition and I hope we all meet our goals. We can do this ladies!

ETA: Bella, I like that idea!

I really like this idea. It adds even more accountability to the original chart, which really works for me.

Since everyone seems to enjoy the star idea and creating as much incentive as possible. How about this...

I'll create a new colum entitled "Awards" There will be 3 Weekly Awards.

1. Biggest Loser (highest % loss for the week)
2. Honorable Mention (2nd and 3rd highest % loss for the week)
3. Deans List (loosing 3% or higher for the week)

I'm not sure if it should be 3% or 2.5%... feedback?

We'll also have 4 Quarter MVPs, a Midseason MVP and a whole season MVP.

I'll then hunt around online to try and find some cool stars/diamonds/whatever for the differnt "awards"

Just an idea..I'll see what you all think.

This weight loss challenge is getting crazy professional! Thanks for doing everything Scarlett, your charts look amazing.

I haven't got stars since middle school... I must admit I really want one!

I'm doing this
(A) because I'm an insomniac and can't sleep and
(B) because all the back and forth in this thread is a little confusing

This is an Easy to Read overview of what everyone decided. The "Awards" Colum is an extension of an idea by Belia to give away stars. Everyone seemed to like it. Each award will eventually have a symbol for it.

thanks, I know. I have a tendency to go crazy with projects. It doesn't help that I've been driving myself crazy waiting on some big news (which will hopefully come next week). The project/distraction part of it has been great.
