A few months ago when The Biggest Loser was starting on TV we had a biggest loser weight loss challenge on All for Women. The challenge ran for 12 weeks, and the winner was to receive $100 as well as the satisfaction of hopefully losing some weight. It started off well with lots of people interested in joining in, but in the end there was only Kay and I left. I was crowned the winner after losing 6kg and got to keep my money..score!
After a discussion on Plurk with Rah who is also trying to lose weight at the moment we decided to challenge each other to a Bloggest loser challenge. It seems I can only lose weight when competing against others LOL.
So tomorrow the challenge starts, everyone is welcome to join in!
Rules are easy, weigh in will be on Sundays, so the first week is a bit of a warm up, so you can jump in when you can. The challenge will run for 12 weeks, starting tomorrow, the 7th July.
To join in, just make a post about the challenge and leave a comment and I will link to you from the challenge page (work in progress) In your post let us know your goals for the challenge and how you hope to achieve them. You don’t have to reveal how much you weigh if you don’t want to…just how much you wish to lose and your loss each week
My goal for the 12 week challenge is to lose 8kg. My plan will me similar to my previous gym program. It will be a little modified for the next few weeks as we are currently on 2 weeks school holidays, so it makes it hard to get there everyday. Also packing and the stress of moving will hopefully help to lose some kg too.
So come on..don’t be shy. Join Rah and I. Patric has desinagted herself cheer squad 
[...] Leigh is the organised one and has got things sorted to get some others on board. [...]
yeah! let’s kick some fat ass/arse!

I am so in for this. My weight is truly at crisis point!
I’m in, as long as I don’t have to put my weight online. Really… no way am I willing to share that. But I’m already down almost 70 lbs, so I’m happy to join a group effort for some help and support.
