I am reposting these finalized plans. I posted once but it seems people are still getting confused so i want to be sure we're all on the same page.
IMPORTANT: I have started a "ROLL CALL: Group 1 post." Please read it and sign in. Here's the link.

1. We will go by how much we want to lose by Monday, August 26th, the end of the challenge.
2. I have decided if it's ok with everyone else that we divide into 2 groups instead of 4. This will make the prize bigger and more people per group.
Groups will be as follows:
GROUP 1 15 pounds or less by Aug 26th (up to 1.9 lbs per week loss)
GROUP 2 16-30 pounds by Aug 26th (2 to 3.75 lbs per week loss)
Everyone in group 2 please sign in at HiDarlin's post with the info she requests. Here's the link.

3. The contest runs for 8 weeks starting Monday, July 1st and ends Monday, August 26th. Mondays we check in with weights. Each group has a captain (group 1- Christie, group 2- HiDarlin) that is responsible for keeping up with each persons progress in their group and this captain will post every Monday for everyone's progress to date.
People are asking about what to do with the money...i explain here....
4. Everyone in the group including the captain will donate $5.00 and we are using paypal.
Group 1: Wicca is setting this up for us. She has posted directions what to do with your money. Here's the link for that post.

TurboBoysMommy has taken over as banker from group 2. Watch for her post for directions on what to do with your money.
Each group will have a bank and each group will pick a winner that will win their respective groups bank.
5. At the end of 8 weeks instead of whoever loses the most or makes it to goal (to make it fair, since we are not all the same height and weight) everyone in their respective group votes via email to the captain OF THE OTHER GROUP on a person in their group. We will decide how to determine the winners as we go. We won't worry about that right at the moment until we get going.
6. There is no picture required. However everyone that can get before and after pictures posted at the end, please do! We all love to see everyone's progress! Key is everyone be HONEST with each other and ourselves.
Please read all of this carefully so we all understand. Thanks and sorry for any confusion, i've tried to keep everyone updated. It's hard to plan this big of a thing with this many people without some kinks but everything is explained here and has come together great. We will have a lot of fun with this everyone! Hang in there!
