{welcome}

Welcome to the "biggest loser" blog! We are excited to start the new year right and to start our biggest loser challenge!

The rules:
* We'd love everyone to have a weight loss blog! We feel that you will have more success if you keep good track of it by keeping a (journal, ie: Blog.....please post the link here when you make your blog and everyone link everyone else! If you need help, just ask!). Please have those blogs ready by the time we start!

* Please take a before picture. Now, you don't have to do it in a bikini or anything like that if you don't want to. A {goal} outfit is great if you don't want to show skin lol.

* You must weigh in once a month (weigh in days are posted to the side). And it's important to do it the day posted because Melissa and Tammy will be updating a biggest loser chart each month!

*Once you have committed to this challenge you are committed to put money in the pot. (Amount to be determined).

* Once we have started, please do not invite others to be part of the competition. They are more then welcome to join in losing weight, but wouldn't be fair for the ones who have already committed and started to join the biggest loser.

How it works:
On January 7th we will start our biggest loser competition! It will go until June 7th. You are welcome to lose weight ANY way you'd like to. All of us {losers} will have our own personal weight loss blogs and we'd love if everyone would help be cheerleaders for each other by posting comments on all the {losers} blogs! Like said above, please keep active on your blog. This means posting updates, tips, pictures, quotes, etc...anything that YOU need to keep yourself motivated and will help others be the same. Each month after the weigh in, Melissa and Tammy will calculate your % of weight lost and post a chart showing the winner and where you rank in the competition. The winner of the month will get a prize! At the end, the BIGGEST LOSER will be getting the {pot} of money provided by the other biggest loser competitors. This money is NOT for bills, food, kids...It's for YOU! Buy your self some new clothes for that new body! Treat yourself to a day at the spa! Do something fun and for YOU...you earned it!

So...HAVE FUN and GOOD LUCK!
