Cadre,
2020 has been a rough one. Social distancing and business closures/restrictions has meant that a lot of us haven’t been going out or being as active as we would normally be. Combine that with quarantines and working from home means a lot of us are also snacking more, drinking more (alcohol), and just being less healthy in general. As a result many of us have gotten out of shape and put on some extra pounds. 2021 is the year we turn this around!
Are you interested in getting in better shape and dropping a few pounds? I know a lot of us are, but sometimes motivation is a problem, and many of us do not have a good support network to help keep us motivated to succeed. Well, look no further…. The Shaving Cadre is here to help! The Cadre will bond together, encourage & support each other during this process. We will be there to motivate each other through our stalls/setbacks, and celebrate with each other in our successes! We want everyone to succeed with their goals and get as healthy as possible in 2021! In addition, we’ve got some great prizes donated by Supporting Vendors of The Shaving Cadre to help keep us motivated!!!
I posted a thread to see if there was enough interest in this Challenge here: Gauging Interest in a Weight Loss Challenge.
There was a lot of good info posted in that thread, and I encourage you to go back and read it, if you haven’t already. The response was very positive, therefore I present:
The 2021 TSC Weight Loss Challenge!
How it works:
*Any member of The Shaving Cadre is eligible and encouraged to participate. (There may be limitations on shipping prizes for non-CONUS member.)
*This Challenge will last 5 months. I feel this is long enough to keep people motivated to continue, and develop good habits that they can hopefully sustain, without being too long and becoming a drag.
*There will be monthly weigh-ins, and the winner will be based on percentage of weight lost. Cadre member’s weights will not be made public (only percentage lost), unless the individual wants to share that information themselves.
*The member with the highest percentage of weight lost that month will receive a prize from one of TSC’s participating vendors. Members will only be eligible to receive one monthly prize.
*At the end of 5 months, there will be another prize for the person with the overall highest percentage lost over the entire 5 month period. All participants are eligible for this prize, regardless of previous monthly winnings.
*Initial weigh-in will be on Jan 1st. With subsequent weigh-ins at the first of every month.
*If you do not discover this thread until after Jan 1st, you can still join, at ANY time. It’s never a bad time to get focused on your health. PM me (Spider), for details.
*Your active participation in this thread is greatly appreciated. The playful banter and camaraderie in this thread is half the fun in this challenge, and will only serve to keep people motivated and keep thinking about their goals. Any tips, tricks, or encouragement is welcome from anyone, even if you are not participating.
Weigh-In Details
*Initial Weigh-In is due between Friday, Jan 1st and Sunday, Jan 3rd. If you sign up after Jan 1st, your initial weight will be due the day you join.
*Monthly weigh-ins are due on the 1st of every month. Weights can be submitted 1 day early or 1 day late to allow some flexibility. Weigh-ins received after the 2nd of the month will not be eligible for the monthly prize. PM me if there are any extenuating circumstances preventing this. We will try to be flexible and fair to all participants.
*Weight should be taken using the same scale, at the same time of day, wearing the same clothes (to the maximum extent possible) to reduce variables and keep everything consistent. Ideally, weigh yourself first thing in the morning.
*I will create a group PM to all participants each month requesting weights. Again, member’s weights will be kept in PM and not posted in public.
*Weight will be submitted by taking a picture of your scale with your weight displayed and a piece of paper visible with your username and the current day’s date on it.
