Week One Complete!

Week One is in the books for this newest 10-week challenge and we are off to a GREAT start! We officially have 91 participants! A few of you didn't make it to weigh-in Monday night, so as a reminder, if you were one of them, you will owe $5 to the penalty pot next Monday or you can apply your one SKIP THE SCALE pass for the challenge. And we had a few newcomers on Monday night as well! Welcome to all of you.

The BIG news is in our first week, our group has lost 353lbs! You can see our current TOP 10 in the column to the left, and everyones results a bit farther down the page on the left. Just a reminder that as it stands, the TOP 5 Participants at the end of the 10-week challenge will divide up the cash prize!

Many of you showed up to weigh-in Monday unaware of the mini-challenge that was waiting. Please make sure you check the MINI-CHALLENGE column on the left side of this blog each week to prepare so you wont miss an opportunity to win fun prizes!
This week I drew 5 names from those of you that completed our 1-mile Power walk, and the winner are:
Pam Wycoff, Misty Hale, Barbara Stone, Adrienne Tobar, and Carol Odell!Congratulations! Your Biggest Loser Power Walk DVD should arrive here at weigh-in in 2 weeks (On Oct. 3)

There will be more information and tips posted here throughout the week. But for now, I just want to remind you, that if you are interested, beginning next Monday evening from 6:30-8:00pm, there will be a group study available called MADE TO CRAVE. There is a brief clip below about the study. If you chose to come, you will need to order your own materials. Click on the items below to order them through amazon.com.

Biggest Loser Turlock: RULES

1. The contest is 12 weeks long, beginning TUESDAY, January 7, 2014 with a final weigh-in on TUESDAY, April 1, 2014. The cost to enter this competition is $30... $25 of which goes in the grand prize pot, and $5 of which covers administrative costs and weekly incentives.

2. The winner of the contest is the person with the highest % of weight loss at the end of the 12 week period. This number will be figured by taking the total amount of weight you’ve lost and dividing it by your first weigh-in.

3. You must commit to weigh-in every Monday night between the hours of 4:00pm-6:00pm. We will track your weight loss during these weigh-ins and this weekly check-in will keep you accountable. Weigh-ins are at the following address:

Monte Vista Chapel

corner of Berkeley & Monte Vista

1619 E. Monte Vista Ave. Turlock

4. Prizes: There will be prize winnings for the top 5 Losers. The Grand Prize will be 50% of the grand prize pot, with the remaining 50% divided out to the 4 runner ups (20%, 15%, 10%, 5%). (If the grand prize pot is $2000, the Grand Prize winner will receive $1000, with the remaining $1000 divide between 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place finishers.)

5. Penalties: You will pay a $5 penalty into a separate prize pot on Monday night if you failed to show up to weigh-in the previous Monday night. Also, you will pay $1 into the same prize pot for every lb. that you gain throughout the competition. Any weight gain gets rounded UP to the nearest lb. (If this week I weight 175 and next Tuesday I weigh 175.6, I will pay a $1 penalty into the prize pot) In the event that we have more than 100 participants, this separate prize pot will be used for payment of our 5th-10th place Losers. If we have fewer than 100 participants, this money will be added to the main prize pot for 1st-5th place.

6. Each participant will have a private folder that will contain their beginning measurements as well as their weekly weigh-in chart. This information is held in strict confidence and no one besides the participant or the administrative help will have permission to view these folders. Each week you will be told at weigh-in your lbs lost for the week, and lbs lost challenge to date.

7. Each week we will update our blog (http://BLTurlock.blogspot.com) with the current challenge standings. We will list the standings in the following way:

• We will list the names and % lost for the current TOP 10 in order from 1st-10th position.

• If you are not in the current top 10, your name will be listed alphabetically with your % lost next to it.

You may choose to have your name omitted from the alphabetical list if you prefer your % NOT be made public*. However, if your % places you in one of the TOP 10 slots, your % WILL be made public so that others know the numbers to beat.

*To have your results omitted from the e-mail standings, please mark that option on your weigh-in sheet. You can also e-mail me at ohiobuckfan@sbcglobal.net at any point in the challenge to request this.

In addition to the current standings, the blog will also include healthy eating and fitness tips and info on occassional weekly incentives. You can subscribe to the blog by inserting your email address in the subspribe box found on the left hand side of the screen while on the blog, about 1/2 way down. If you subscribe, you will receive all posts via email.
