NikGetsFit Weight Loss Challenge!

Win this heart rate monitor!

Hey loves! Guess what? We're starting our weight loss challenge! If you have been following me on Facebook then you know I've been wanting to do this for a while now and the time is NOW! Just in time for Summer! This will last for 12 weeks so please make sure you are committed before signing up. :-)

The rules:

  1. You must send $5 via paypal to beadsbraidsbeyond@yahoo.com You must mark the $5 as "GIFT" so there are no Paypal fees! All of the money will go directly to the winner of this challenge. There are NO refunds which is why I said to make sure you are fully committed. This is a one time fee that everyone on Facebook agreed on for extra motivation. The winner can buy a new outfit or whatever they want with the money! We do this in the weight loss group I'm in all of the time. I'm the one who handles the money and I've sent the money out every time so no worries there! :-)
  2. You MUST submit a current before picture. You will need to take a full body picture holding a sign with this current date. You can take the picture before May 1st but no pictures will be accepted after May 1st.
  3. You MUST weigh-in on May 1st! You will need to take a picture of your weight on the scale with the current date (May 1st) written on a piece of paper with your name on it. Pictures must be clear enough to read.
  4. You will need to weigh-in each week. Same rules stated above apply. Take a picture of your weight on the scale with the date written on a piece of paper and your name. After May 1st every weigh-in will be on MONDAY!
  5. You CANNOT be more than 3 days late with your weigh-in.
  6. You must take a full body picture each month and also at the very end of the challenge holding a sign with the current dates.
  7. We want to continue to be healthy with this challenge so we cannot accept anyone who is taking (or plans on taking) diet pills, diet shots, diet drops, etc. This will all be 100% from hard work, proper nutrition, exercise, etc.
  8. There will be a set of basic questions to fill out each week. Just asking what you have been doing to lose the weight, etc.
  9. This is a friendly challenge so please continue to be respectful and help motivate one another.
  10. Pictures and weigh-in's will be posted on this blog. You will need to post your pictures on our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/nikgetsfit
The winner is based off of who has the highest percent of weight lost during this challenge. 

The prizes:
  • The winner will receive all of the money put in from each participant. I will let you all know this number on May 2nd.
  • Polar USA is going to send the winner a FT60 Heart Rate Monitor. The same one I use! :-)
  • I am hoping Urban Decay (<---click the link. maybe they will see NikGetsFit brings them traffic and want to sponsor!) will sponsor this challenge as well. If not, I will purchase an Urban Decay make up palette (I'm thinking Naked 1 or 2) to ship to the winner. I will only ship this to a US address.
The start date is May 1st, the end date is July 31st.

  3. I would like to enter your weight loss challenge. I will send my money before the 1st along with everything else. Question, are we emailing you the pictures? When we post on your facebook page, do all of our "friends" have access?

    1. I prefer for the pictures to be posted on the NikGetsFit Facebook page for they are all in one place but if you're more comfortable, you can email them to nikgetsfit@yahoo.com Everything will be reposted here and this is a public blog. The Facebook page is also public so yes.

  5. Sorry I accidentally replied to another commenters response, rather than making my own. (You can delete that)

    Anyway random question, as far as the pictures go, would it be okay to create a facebook to participate? I have so many coworkers, classmates, friends, family, etc on Facebook that I really don't feel comfortable with posting the pictures directly from my personal FB. They're always switching up the security settings and it skeeves me the hell out LOL.

    1. Lol, I know what you mean. I don't know why Facebook feels the need to show everyone where you post, what you like, comment on, etc. O_o Weird! Anyway, everything will be public on the NGF page and on this blog but you can totally create another page so your friends can't see where you're posting. :-)

    1. I just need to see the number on the scale with the date and name on a piece of paper by it, no need for a full picture, lol. :-)

  9. Whew! I just sent in my $5! I can't tell you how anxious I am about sharing my photos and weight (SO embarrassing) But I love how motivating this challenge is and I think it will help me in so many ways! I did end up creating a new FB account for this so I hope that is OK! After work I will post my photo and then I will post my weight/scale photo on the 1st .. feeling sick to the stomach even just thinking about doing it lol but I am so excited and ready to get rid of this weight!

  10. Where do I go to mark the payment as a gift? It only gives me the option to send money for goods/services or to family/friend. I'm assuming I pick the family/friend option but I just want to make sure.

    Thnx :)
