Rules and Regulations

Welcome, welcome! We are so excited to invite you to our new weight loss blog! We thought it would be a great idea to post the rules and regulations of this competition so everyone can be on the same page.

The ultimate goal is to see who loses the biggest percentage of body weight by December 25, 2008. We are hoping for a minimum of 25 pounds from everyone participating. Whom ever has lost the greatest percentage of body weight by the given date wins the "Booty."

Official weigh in begins Monday, September 8, 2008. Everyone participating must send a check of $250 to Paul Nelson ASAP. He will be responsible for keeping the winnings safe. We would tell Susan to do it, but we all know she will put in that "very special place that she won't forget"...and forget where she put it! ;)

If weight loss supplements are used, you must post what you are using on the blog so everyone has the decision to use it or not. This is the only way to make it fair. Hopefully, this is not your only means of weight loss. We are hoping for life style changes people!

There is a weekly weigh in on *Mondays. You must weigh yourself and then email them to Kevin so he can calculate your total percentages. He is the ONLY ONE that will know your actual weight. Only your percentage and pounds lost will be posted. You may choose for yourself if you weigh yourself on a daily basis or not.

There will be no weekly weigh ins or totals posted or emailed the month of December so as to keep the winner for the final weigh in a surprise.

On the final weigh in, you may bring your own scale if you desire. We don't want anyone going postal on us trying to justify what their scale said the day before! Kevin will then tally the final percentages, place the winner in a sealed envelope, and give said envelope to Kjersten for the competiton ceremony.

If there are any concerns or questions, please feel free to post them on the blog or to email Kevin. Good luck! I know you are all a bunch of big losers, uh, you know what I mean!!!
