So without delay, I invite you to join my second Weight Loss Challenge! I've revamped things from the last challenge to make it less time-consuming for me. After all, I need all the time I can get to prep healthy meals (my biggest downfall!). If you're serious about dropping some pounds, this challenge will be great accountability for you, as well as motivation!

Run Your A$$ Off
Weight Loss Challenge 2013
**Note: You don't have to really run, but I highly recommend it!
Here's how it works...
• You have 4 weeks to lose 4% of your starting weight. (Ex. If your starting weight is 175lbs, your goal is then to lose at least 7 lbs, a little less than 2 lbs per week.) Manageable, healthy, sustainable weight loss.
• At the start of each round, participants add $10 into the pot. After the 4 week challenge is done, everyone who hits their 4% goal is a winner and splits the pot. In essence, you are earning your weight loss! I'm keeping the entry amount low because I want this to be more about the weight. Think about the money as just added incentive!
• There will be three rounds of this challenge, each 4 weeks long. Everyone has different amounts of weight to lose, so you can choose to play one round or all three...
Round One: Dec. 31 - Jan. 28
Round Two: Jan. 28 - Feb. 24
Round Three: Feb. 25 - March 25
• The challenge is managed by DietBet.com. You will need a digital scale and camera/smartphone in order to submit your weigh-in pictures. (For in-depth details on how it works, see the DietBet.com page here.) There are only two mandatory weigh-ins (start and finish), but I do encourage you to weigh in each Monday. Complete DietBet Rules found here.
• In addition to the DietBet.com payout at the end of each round, I will also be awarding a PRIZE PACK to the highest % winner of each round. Bonus!
Are you ready to lose?!?!
I know you can do it... I'd even BET on it!
Round Three begins Monday, Feb. 25!
New participants welcome with each round.
Please spread the word and add your friends!

ReplyDeleteOhh so exciting and having to spend my hard earned money will make me work harder to stay on track!
ReplyDeleteTHAT is what really motivates me too. I'm very conservative with money (ask my hubs!) so when I spend, I take it seriously. Good Luck!
DeleteMoney is a GREAT motivator. I have never participated in a challenge where you can actually make money - looking forward to it:)
Deleteaww if only a digital scale wasn't needed (I use my wii). Love this idea Jess!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness....I was lamenting this morning that my workplace is not hosting biggest loser again...I am not so good at self motivation. I'm in!
ReplyDeleteI so need this motivation. I was at a great weight at marathon time but just like you said the weight creeps on with each holiday until I am about 12 lbs over. Count me in. I so need an accountability partner right now.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you!! This is exactly what I needed. All signed up and ready to go!! The pot is at $630!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so in!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great way to kick off my working out. I'm in!
ReplyDeleteI'm in, thanks for the challenge Jess!! I totally NEED this!!
ReplyDeleteDang it, I'd love to do join in but don't have access to a digital scale.
ReplyDeleteJust joined. I need this motivation to get the weight off!!!
ReplyDeleteSigned up :)
ReplyDeleteI thought about doing this too but I use my Wii for weighing myself...no digital scale in sight...LOL. Sounds like fun and a great motivator! I have a few pounds (not from the holidays thankfully) to lose so it would be just the thing...
ReplyDeleteawesome! I'll have to join! Never heard of dietbet, but how cool! Thanks for keeping us motivated and on track!

ReplyDeleteWould we be able to use a Wii to meausre weight loss? I've weighed in and compared to a digital scale at my Dr's office and its pretty accurate.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Signed up and excited to play!
ReplyDeleteI joined your DietBet challenge before I had read your site. I am so excited to try the challenge and that I found your blog! It's a great read and is definitely helping with my motivation! :)
ReplyDeleteJust signed up!!! Woohoo! I hope this helps me stay on track. I've mostly been maintaing for a year now and I'm ready to keep going :)
ReplyDeleteJust signed up! My doctor has cleared me to start running after the 1st (Havent run since my hip surgery in August) so between that and the holidays I have packed on the pounds. This challenge is just what I needed. Thank you Jess for always motivating me! :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited! I've done a DietBet game before so I found yours, but small blogging world it is because I saw Bailey at Onederland or Bust posted about the game too! Love the challenge title ... Ties in wonderfully with my blog, Struggles With a Fat Ass. :D
ReplyDeleteThought I had better to give this a try. I typically lose slower then this, but the cookies have been calling.
ReplyDeleteDoes it matter where you live if you want to join in on this?
ReplyDeleteAnyone can join, no matter where you live.
DeleteAwesome, thanks!!
DeleteI'm interested, but I'm hung up on the digital scale thing. The instructions said "preferably digital." Could I do it with my doctor's scale? It's more accurate than most digital scales. And it doesn't matter if I don't/can't actually "run" with Jess, right? Bum ankle :-)
ReplyDeleteAll signed up and ready to get back on track! It's been a rough month+.
ReplyDeleteAll signed up!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Both me and my husband are signed up. I've been reading your blog for awhile now and find it really inspirational. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to sign up, but everytime I try to join your game it keeps jumping back to the same pop up box :( Any ideas how to get past this? I want in!!!
ReplyDeleteFinally got in, and weighed in- I am officially in this thing :)
DeleteI'm excited to do this! I sooo needed this extra motivation. Good luck everybody!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering - I used PayPal and it doesnt show up that I paid yet? How does that work? Thanks, Angie

ReplyDeleteIs it open to Canadians too?
ReplyDeleteJess - can you possibly take a picture of the screen using the Wii scale.. it is digital :D
