Summer Slimmers Challenge - names down!!

Right heres a challenge for any members who are dieting!!

Its all a bit of friendly fun, but I have seen a few of these before and they seem quite successful for spurring one another along!

So, basically, we want names down on a list! I'll give it a week for names down, then at the weekend I'll lock this thread. All names will then go in a hat and be drawn out into 2 teams. At the start of the week, everyone in each team will post their start weights, and the individual numbers will be joined together to give a Team Total.

As this is a Summer Slimmers Comp, we can keep this going all through the summer, so if everyone posts their realistic target weight to lose by September, we can also see which team gets an overall loss closest to the targets, and you never know, there may be a small token prize for every member of the team that gets closest to their goal.

Each team will then have a series of sticky threads made up, including one for general chat, team motivation, hints and tips etc, to help each team get through a week.

Every Monday, each team will post their weigh ins, and the totals will be added up. We will then get a weekly winning team, and each team member of the winning team will be awarded a blinkie to add to their profile. We will also make up a individual slimmer of the week blinkie to award to the person who loses the most each week.

If I have missed anything off and anyone has any more questions to ask, I'll happily answer them

For anyone who wants to join in, leave your name below!!

PS for anyone who wants to join later, I shall re-open the name list after the first teams have been selected, then I will add any newcomers to teams evenly
