Typically with online challenges, participants submit their weekly weigh-ins as time-stamped pics on a scale, but I'm open to suggestion to keep everyone honest Smiley

Those can easily be faked.

Like I said, I'm open to suggestion. Also thinking the prize could be split equally between the top 5 "losers" rather than just having one winner.

I've got 5 confirmed participants so far, so I think that is enough to get this going. I'll post details soon!

So, am I allowed to participate?

I'm going to be running 30+ miles a day as part of BitcoinAcrossAmerica.com

Don't know if that counts as cheating.

That's awesome! Good luck!

As for me, I don't really need to lose any weight (I could lose about 5 lbs, but I'd love to gain it back in muscles) but I'd be up for something related to fitness. Since busting my knee in December, I haven't done much. The holiday binge eating didn't help either.

Informative discussion on weight loss and wish you luck in losing weight. Our weight loss program is formulated by physicians for those who really want to lose weight, change their body and improve their life.

Interesting,  Seems there is no more open spots. This could help me to get back to sport, and get rid of that beer belly I put on the last couple year due to engineering school, bad sleep habit, and in general no time for sport, (would like to have at least my cardio back to the way it was when I was doing sport on regular basis)

If there are still spots for the challenge hit with a pm

Interesting idea and a neat place for my first post, if this goes through I wonder which forum member here will lose the most weight in this challenge.
Time to get rid if your beer belly while lurking the forum to tell the world about your triumphant exploits

Very intriguing idea indeed.  Paying a little to be apart of it would help make thing interesting for sure.  I'll contemplate being apart of something like this in the future if this idea catches on.

Very nice idea, but sadly I cant participate since im already quite skinny. You should gather quite a lot of people so the prize will be tempting.
Well to be healthy and fit is also tempting hehe. On the other hand I dont think you will find people hinest enough not to fake photos and losing
ridiculous amounts of weight in just 90 days. Will be sticking with this post to see how it goes Cheesy
