Although I haven't actually seen the TV show I googled it and figured out how to start my own Biggest Loser Challenge. It starts on April 18th and will run for 8 weeks. So the ladies and I can get fit and sexy just in time for summer! I will keep tabs on all our starting weight and calculate each week what our percentage of loss is. To calculate your percentage of weight loss: multiply the total weight loss by 100 and divide by your starting weight.
I wont be posting all the details (I want to keep their privacy) but I will post every once in a while about how its all going.
Do you all watch the show?
Have you done a contest like this before?
Any suggestions?

I think this sounds like a fantastic idea. Good luck! I can't wait to read about your progress!
thanks for posting the calculation..i never knew how to figure out weight loss percentage!
i have done a biggest loser competition before..I lost almost 18 pounds in 8 weeks. I exercised daily, counted calories, up'd my water consumption and really watched my sodium. I also mixed cardio & strength training..you'll burn more calories that way!
Good luck to you!!!
I watch the show but have to on DVR because they do so many product placements and other random crap that drives me crazy.
Good luck with your challenge!!
oooh, that was me on twitter that was contemplating this... i'm so intrigued! i watched the first few seasons... they're so inspiring! it makes me feel like that if a 500lb person can do it, why can't i?!
goodluck! updates would be awesome haha
I'm so tempted to join, but I'm afraid that I'll stop before the 8 weeks are up. I know that that's the point of a group competition--motivation--but I am going to try to go at it alone! I wish you luck & can't wait to see your progress!!!! :)
(My sister is moving here in a few weeks, so I'm hoping that is my friendly competition!)
