you may wonder how this all started.
the hubby was given an ultimatum by the doctor
and long story short, he has no other choice but to lose some weight.
over the last two days, both his status and mine on facebook
was geared towards curbing his lifestyle.
one thing led to another and next thing you know,
his family and my mom has gotten on the wagon
and we have a challenge on our hands!
with my dearest friend kary's suggestion
i have decided to open this challenge up to the blogging world
to see if anyone is interested!
below are the Rules and Regulations of the challenge
which has been forwarded already to current participants
____________________________
Start Date: August 15, 2011
End Date: November 15, 2011
Winner Announcement: November 16, 2011
1.) To be an eligible challenger, you must submit $20/person in the pot (to be kept by me for the 3 month duration).
2.) Monetary submission should be received by Monday, August 15.
3.) Only US & Canadian patrons are allowed at this time. We will treat the dollars as equal to reduce the questions of exchange rate and such.
4.) If you are a US patron and would still like to join, you are welcome to send me your $20 via PayPal. Please email me at mommy.shrimp@gmail.com for further details.
5.) Every Monday, starting from August 15, your weight, along with a picture of your feet on the scale, should be sent to my email. For the sake of fairness for everyone, this is required (please ensure that i can fully read the weight on the picture or I will ask for another photo). If you are submitting your weight in KG (kilograms), I will be using this converter (http://www.convertunits.com/from/kg/to/lbs) so that everyone is equal across the board.

6.) Your weight will be kept in confidence with me although every two weeks, I will be sending out an email as to how much each person has lost to keep all of you motivated to lose the weight and win the pot at the end!
7.) At the end of the challenge, whoever loses the most weight (calculated from their beginning weight and subtracting their most current weight), will win the total of the pot.
8.) To the winner, please understand that dependant on the exchange rate of Paypal, your total pot may be slightly higher or lower than the original amount. Again, I am looking at both the USD$ AND CAD$ to be of equal value for this challenge.
9.) If there are two (or three, or four...) people who are tied in 1st place, the total of the pot will be split evenly between the winners.
10.) We trust that everyone will be honest in their weight submissions. We would like to keep this as a fair, clean and honest challenge!
***IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR YOU TO SEND IN YOUR SCALE PHOTOS. THREE WEEKS (CONSECUTIVE OR NON-CONSECUTIVE) WITHOUT YOUR WEIGH-IN WILL AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFY YOU FROM THE CHALLENGE AND YOUR MONETARY SUBMISSION WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED***
