no problem with the date change.

I do have a couple of questions... with the change in start dates, do we add another week on (May 7) or still stop at the end of April?

Also on the check in dates, do we list just weight or should we be doing ALL the measurements then as well? I'm hoping we just do them at the beginning & end, but I could get used to doing it more often.

Thanks.

You can count me in. Also can we do a best male and best female thing? 'Cause, y'know, I'd win by default.

So the contest doesn't start till the 6th?? Shoot, we'll have to change all of our dates in the chart. Also, you might want to change the title then to cut back on confusion.

If you want to, you can just keep editing your original table, or you can just copy and paste your chart w/ the update as you go along

Oooh I want in! I have been out of the country for a while now, but I'm looking forward to getting involved again on these boards and getting back on track (I gained 15-20lbs while travelling the world lol). Does anyone have a suggestion of what else we could use besides a newspaper to show the date? Neither my family nor I ever get newspapers. I can get one if necessary, I was just wondering if anyone had any other ideas. I'll post all my information tomorrow.

The Contest weigh ins will continue on this post only for everyone that enters.
Just to clarify - are you expecting people to post measurements every week or just at the start and finish and weigh the rest of the time? The post says one thing and the page implies another to me. I have never taken measurements weekly.

I posted a chart, but then I read that the dates are changing. So I will keep a lookout for the new table/dates. I'm so in. I need to kick my diet/exercise plan up a notch.

I do not THINK she wants up us to update measurements everyweek, I could be wrong, but I believe our measurements are only to be taken at the beginning and end of the challenge. Nikegirl, correct me if i'm wrong.

Hey everyone! I just wanted you all to know, I just talked to Sean (the admin.) and he said the actually challenge DID NOT get moved back a week. The date that you HAVE to have your picture posted WITH A NEWSPAPER got moved back till the 6th. However the challenge itself will still start on the 29th


I personally am gonna get my picture in on the 29th b/c if I loose 5 or so pds between the 29th and the 6th, I def. would want it to reflect in my photo! BUT for all you that don't have a digital camera, this might help you out some.
