The Inches and Pounds Challenge! http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/weight-loss-challenge/5742-got-inches-inches-pounds-challenge.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:46:43 GMT Alright, so here's the deal: This challenge is open to anyone and everyone, but it is perfect for those ladies who are having a hard time getting that scale to cooperate! It will be a 3 month challenge to start and it's going to consist of a weekly weigh in (With point gain, maintain or loss, according to your weight loss, maintain or gain) and it will also consist of a monthly bodily measurement (with point gain, maintain or loss according to your overall inches loss, maintain or gain). What I hope to do is stir up some inspiration and support for those that are having trouble, are in a sticky spot, like some competative competition, or are just looking to have a good time while burning off those inches and pounds at the same time!

I decided to start this challenge because I'm in one of those spots where my clothes are fitting looser, I'm noticing my fitness levels rise (slowly but surely), but that scale is just NOT moving! (At least not much!) Most weight loss challenges here seem to be targeted for weight loss, and that's great, because at some point, reguardless of how many inches we burn off, that scale is going to HAVE to drop at some point! BUT, in the mean time, I thought it would be refreshing to target a different area of weightloss, and start a challenge to reward gals on both pounds lost AND inches lost.

What you'll need:

A scale that you can weigh yourself on regularly
A plyable measuring tape (The cloth ones used for clothing/sewing work great!)

Measurement areas consist of:

A- Neck, the thickest part, typically half way between shoulders and chin
B- Chest, above the bust, under the arm pits
C- Bust, typically just above the nipples
D- Waist, the narrowest area, ~1-2 inches above the belly button
E- Hips, the widest part where the hips and butt protrude the most
J- Bicep, halfway between the shoulder and the elbow
M-Thigh, the thickest part, typically just underneath the butt
And also, the Calf. It's not listed, but you measure at the thickest part of the calf.
Forget all the other lines and whatnot listed on that picture, that's more for measuring for clothing than weightloss.

Points will be based on the following:

Weekly:

Weight loss -

Loss = +10/week
Maintain = +5/week
Gain = -10/week

Monthly:

Inches lost -

Loss = +20/month
Maintain = +5/month
Gain = -20/month

Exercise = +5/day
Eating Healthy = +5/day

I've also noticed that a lot of people on other challenges like the idea of a personal goal for each week that they tally each day.. So,

Persoanl challenge = +5/day

Drinking water is also very important for your body and for weighloss. So, part of the challege is going to be to get people to drink at least 8 - 8oz glasses a day!

Drink 8 - 8oz glasses = +10/day
Don't drink 8 - 8oz glasses = -10/day

The most important part of this challenge is to offer and receive support and inspiration, have a place to track your successes (or the occassional bumpy road we may travel down), build friendships and HAVE FUN!

Reply here if you're interested.. My goal is to start November 29th (since the 1st is a Tuesday), so weigh ins and inch totals would be posted by Saturday the 28th.

Points Format:

Exercise (+5 or 0):
Eat Healthy (+5 or 0):
Weekly Personal Challenge (+5 or 0):
Water (+10 or -10):
Weekly Weigh in (+10, +5 or -10):
Monthly Measurement (+20, +5 or -20):

This week is all about drinking your water. Anyone forget to drink their water? Okay, well let's not underestimate the importance of water for our bodies.

Are you all ready for a great week? Let's all try to lose some weight before Thanksgiving and more importantly for the rest of our lives.

Okay, so post your goals and drink some water!
Don't forget to encourage each other with boosters this week and here in the forum too. ;) ]]> Weight Loss Challenge Mikayla http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/weight-loss-challenge/5730-fitness-fanatics-91-water-water-water.html Longest Loser 7: Weigh-In Thread http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/weight-loss-challenge/5727-longest-loser-7-weigh-thread.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:30:07 GMT Hello! This thread will be for weigh-ins only for Longest Loser 7. This way the weigh-ins won't get mixed in or lost in the rest of the other thread.

Please post your starting weight here on or before our first day, which is Sunday. Each week ends on Saturday, so please post your weigh-in on or before Saturday and let us know if you gained, maintained, or lost!

If you gain or maintain, you will have one freebie week. If you lose the next week, you are still in. However, you will only have ONE freebie week through the entire challenge!

If this challenge lasts through Thanksgiving week, then anyone with a loss that week will earn one extra freebie week to use at any time.

Let's get ready to lose!!! ]]> Weight Loss Challenge MJ http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/weight-loss-challenge/5727-longest-loser-7-weigh-thread.html <![CDATA[Wildcats Goal & Accountability Forum #7 *30 Days THANKSGIVING Challenge* Week 3 & 4]]> http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/weight-loss-challenge/5725-wildcats-goal-accountability-forum-7-30-days-thanksgiving-challenge-week-3-4-a.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 05:01:01 GMT

Would anyone be interested in joining one soon?

Here's the thread from the most recent Longest Loser I could find on the forum, in case you're not familiar with how it works:

http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddys...loser-6-a.html

Basically, you stay in the challenge as long as you lose weight; once you gain weight, you are eliminated. It runs until one person remains standing.
