New Biggest Loser Contest - Need Feedback!

We have had qute a bit of interest in another Biggest Loser contest, and are setting one up to start next week! I will be heading off the contest, and I wanted to get a better idea of who all would be interested, and some of our preferences, to make it the most beneficial to everone involved.

If you would, let me know some of these things, it would be a huge help!

1) Are you interested in being involved?
2) How long of a contest do you think would be the most beneficial? 6 weeks? 3 months? longer?
3) Would you be ineterested in making a prize pool that we can choose to donate towards for the winner?
4) If so, would you rather see 1 winner, or 1st 2nd and 3rd place?
5) Would you rather have the winner(s) win based on percentage of weight lost, or actual pounds?

Basically how it will work is a lot like Lacey did this last time. I will have everyone send me their starting weights, but I will not post them or share them with anyone. We will then set up a day for weigh-ins weekly, where you will send me your updated weights. Like last time, I think it is best if you would send a picture of the scale if possible, just to be sure everything is fair for everyone. These may be emailed to me on the board, or by my private email, which I will give to the participants.

If you have any questions or comments on the contest, please feel free to ask/voice them here, so we can get the ball rolling!!

I'm excited! This will be a great way to shape up some before the holidays!

What the hell...I'll do it. I need to fit into my pants a little better these days.

I'd vote for a 6-week contest with a cash prize that goes to the top loser/winner. I think it should be based on percentage lost and not total pounds.

1) Are you interested in being involved?I'm in
2) How long of a contest do you think would be the most beneficial? 6 weeks? 3 months? longer?I think 3 months. That's a good amount of time to establish healthy living habits.
3) Would you be ineterested in making a prize pool that we can choose to donate towards for the winner?sure
4) If so, would you rather see 1 winner, or 1st 2nd and 3rd place?1 grand winner I think with badges for the top 3. But, biggest loser takes the dough.
5) Would you rather have the winner(s) win based on percentage of weight lost, or actual pounds? Definitely on % loss since some may need to lose 10 pounds and some may need to lose 50.

Well, I was going to cut and paste my answers, but I 100% agree with what Lacey said in her post!!

3 months would be awesome. 6 weeks last time was just enough to get us started. I think it would be great to see everyone's results after 3 months time!

I agree with what the others have said but with that being said I would just like motivation. I struggle losing 5 lbs so if I could have the support from everyone that would be peachy!!

I agree with Lacey and the other ladies, 3 months would be very good. I really have to do something and need the motivation.

1) Are you interested in being involved? Yes, I'm in
2) How long of a contest do you think would be the most beneficial? 6 weeks? 3 months? longer? If you are going to do 3 months , it better start soon, or else it will run into the holiday season, and I feast during the holidays.
3) Would you be ineterested in making a prize pool that we can choose to donate towards for the winner? Yes
4) If so, would you rather see 1 winner, or 1st 2nd and 3rd place? I like Lacye's idea of winner take all and badges for top 3.
5) Would you rather have the winner(s) win based on percentage of weight lost, or actual pounds? % lost
