Starting Weigh-In's!

You did it! You've started on a great journey to a new you! Remember you're not alone, we're all in this together and we will lose this! Let us know in the comments what YOUR inspiration for this weight loss is, whether it's the Cruise, new Tour dates (announced today!), yourself, your family, or something entirely different! Feel free to send us any inspiration that is helping you at any time and we'll RT it to all of the others that will be looking for and needing that inspiration on a daily basis! Let's Lose This together... it's the BH way!

Below you'll find everyone's starting weights. The winner will be declared by total percentage of weight loss, but we'll do that part. All we need from you is a weekly weigh-in. These do not need to be video weigh-in's, just DM your current weight every weekend (by Sunday night) to @twitbigloser and you can watch the numbers change here on this blog. I'll post the starting weight this week, but after this it'll only be the total percentage lost. Good luck to everyone, you can do it! We WILL do it!

THE RULES

Get ready! It's time! Let's Lose This!

The idea is the same but the rules have changed slightly. To compete in Twitters Biggest Loser 2 you may choose to pay the $10.00 entry fee and have a chance at the total grand prize, or you can compete for your own reasons and use this solely for your own support system to lose what's been weighing you down for far too long. If you choose to pay the entry fee and lose weight to win the grand prize (Twitters Biggest Loser 1 received a total of $220.00), please follow the instructions below. For those of you choosing to join without the $10.00 entry fee to help others lose weight while making friends going through the same obstacles as you, skip ahead to step 4.

Are you ready?

Step 1. Follow @TwitBigLoser on Twitter.

Step 2. Use the "Pay Now" button below to pay your $10.00 securely through Paypal using any major credit card or bank account. The money will be in a holding account until a winner is announced at the end of the 8 weeks.





Step 3. Get out your video camera! Use a cell phone, camera w/video or video camera to take a video of your weight. Make sure to include the two aspects of the video needed for entry listed below:

  • Scale shown at zero before standing on it.
  • Weight while on it (also read aloud to avoid misreading)

Step 4. Send an email to: TwittersBL2@gmail.com with your first name, twitter name and starting weight. (Please also include your starting weight video if you have paid the $10.00 entry fee only).

The grand prize amount will be determined by the number of people entering the contest by paying the $10.00 entry fee. All money from the contest will be awarded to the winner at the end of the 8 weeks. All contestants must have all four steps completed by Sunday, January 31st at 11:59pm PST. Any entries after that time will be refunded and not counted.

Twitters Biggest Loser 2 officially begins on Monday, February 1st and ends Sunday, March 28th. The contest is 8 weeks long. You must pay the $10.00 entry fee to qualify for winning the grand prize. It will not be disclosed which entries to the contest are up for the prize until the last week of the contest.

Beginning Monday, February 1st, we will all begin losing weight and working hard TOGETHER. Whether you're losing for the cruise, for the next tour or for yourself, we're in it together now. Every weekend, no later than Sunday night at 10:00pm PST, send in your current weight via Direct Message to @twitbigloser on Twitter. Every Monday morning a tally sheet will be up on this blogspot, listed by real first name, showing you where you stand amongst your Twitters Biggest Loser 2 competition.

Good luck to all! Let's Lose This!!
