An Idea

mckayleesmom wrote: What would everyone think of a dieting contest for a little motivation? Maybe everyone can contribute 5 dollars and whoever loses the most wieght in 3 months gets a gift certificate to buy new clothes. Nothing motivates me like a shopping trip . I can collect the money and once the winner is named I will ask what their favorite store is to buy the certificate. Also, we will need someone that isn't in the contest to keep track of our wieght loss, that way its a mutual party that knows the final results. If anyone is interested pm me with your wieght....don't need the money right away..just before the time is up. If I get enough responses that want to join..we will go for it,,,if not...we will cancel it. I say we start on September 1st.

mckayleesmom replied: Remember to weigh yourself before the first and pm me with your wieght.....I will then transfer the list to Zachsmom with my weight.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I say once I have the list, you can PM me directly with the weight... so that only *I* know who has lost the most weight. Just to be fair.

Wouldn`t want someone adding an extra 3 pounds lost just to try to get ahead...

coasterqueen replied: I'd do it but that wouldn't be motivation for me. Great idea for those who it would be for though.

moped replied: I can keep track of weight loss for everyone - no problemo!

moped replied: Oh sorry - I didn't see Zach's mom post

Same here, I have done similar ones in the past and I am not fond of them. But for those of you that it will help, I say 3 cheers for you and good luck. I will be in the sidelines cheering for you all.

I was planning to have everyone pm me with their weight on the 31st...then give it to you along with my wieght....is that what you mean? Or I can have everyone pm you with their wieght....what do you think?
