Thin It to Win It?

[navane]

Hi everyone,

Has anyone ever done the "Thin It to Win It" fitness challenge before?

From what I can tell, it's a health/weight loss competition held over 6-weeks where the goal is to lose 6% body weight or maintain at 1% (if you're at your goal weight already). The premise is that getting healthy is more successful and fun when done as a group and when there's some kind of "prize" offered. First people ante up the $22.49 to join in. Then, over the 6-weeks, you log in to earn points by doing things like reading the daily readings or posting encouragement on the participation wall. Of course, this whole time I suppose you're supposed to be exercising and eating right. Then, at the end of the 6 weeks, people who achieve the 6% goal and have enough points get to split the proceeds from the money pot. The money prize wouldn't be a lot; but, you'd probably get your ante back.

I tried to do a search for this and couldn't find it mentioned yet. I know a few people who had fun doing this. Anyone try it before?
