I am so excited you are going to join the challenge. We will figure something out with your starting weight. Also don’t worry about the work out part of it. We want you to be healthy also. We are just excited to have you in the challenge and we age there is no going back. Lets go forward and forget those past numbers. ~ Tricia

So glad to see a new challenge on the horizon. Thanks for contacting me about it. If six weeks works for everyone else, that is fine with me. I am used to weighing in on Monday’s from before, so that is a good day for me (I saw it mentioned above).
Only teeny concern I have is, if there is a exercise portion of this challenge I will be unable to participate. I am going to be working really hard on eating healthy, hopefully that won’t be a problem for me. But this is starting three days after my c-section. I obviously will be losing a lot of weight rapidly that day, but I won’t be able to be real active during this challenge. I REALLY want to be included because I want to start out right. After my last baby was born I lost quite a bit of weight. She was born in April of 2010. By December I was back up to the weight I was right before she was born (261). This was when I started joining blog weight loss challenges. By July I was down to 217 pounds. There is no way I am going to let myself get as heavy as I was. I really want to focus on staying healthy. I am hoping there is a way I can join in on this challenge.
Thank you.
Just realized, I am also not sure how I will get a starting weight to you.

Gwenyth. I agree with you six weeks seems to be what most people want and that will be the easiest to stick to. We do plan on doing them quarterly. ~ Tricia

I would love to join. I just started Weight Watchers last week and am just starting to blog. I have over 100 pounds to lose and could use the accountability and support from a challenge. Six weeks sounds like a great time frame. I’m looking forward to it!

I think six weeks is a good time. Not too long and not too short.

I am thinking 6 weeks to 3 months would be perfect. Quarterly challenges would be awesome! Mondays are also great times for my posts as we usually weigh in and measure Sundays. I am looking forward to this!
