Friendly Weight Loss Competition?

[Jinx]

I know there are several of us here on the forum who want to/are trying/are currently losing weight. I was wondered if anyone would be interested in a friendly weight loss competition? Mostly it's just to push each other and hold one another accountable, so it's just for fun.

I don't think there would be a prize (other than bragging rights) but maybe we could talk staff into giving the winner a custom title or something. Not sure how long we'd set it for (8 weeks? 10 weeks?).

Is anyone interested in doing this? If so, I would probably create a group on My Fitness Pal so we could discuss things and also keep track of the competition itself. And honestly, if you are trying to lose weight MFP is such a WONDERFUL tool and you should be using it anyways!

I would join, but only if it was the opposite, and the objective was to gain weight. I'm much better at that.

Ah, I'm not so sure I would want to participate. Not so much a fan of competition weight loss things (or competition in general) as I think that no matter how friendly, it still can make people feel bad who are already struggling with confidence issues due to their weight.

So I won't participate in this, but good luck to those who do! I'd be more interested in a support group rather than a competition.

I only have like one more pound to go and then I hopefully won't have to diet again for years, so I'll have to pass on this one

[Shorty]

Yeah, I'd be down for that. Can you make groups on there?

[noxious.sunshine]

You can with SparkPeople, which is what I use mostly.

I'm in! I'm actually in one at work too. I need to lose 28 more pounds of baby weight; lost 12 so far.

I would like to have a shot at this - even just to make an EoFF Fit Club or something where we can egg each other on to be better.

Aye, I'm game.

[Bubba]

Are you guys all on MFP? I mean, we don't HAVE to do it on there. I can make a thread for this site too.

Yeah, I'm on there. My user name is Dannyeg5

[Rin Heartilly]

Ooooh I'll join! I don't really need to lose much weight but my diet is.....bad -___- And I'd like a flatter belly

Is MFP an app or a website? It sounds familiar :S *goes to google*

[Bubba]

It's a great tool for keeping track of your food and exercise. I've been doing it since New Year and I've lost 5 pounds so far. Only another 37 to go!
