And this is a problem why? :) The final judging is on overall change. That's either way man. :) Plus, the bottom line is that half the money goes to a great cause.

I've had to reconfirm the bank I'm using with Paypal, so that's gonna take me a few more days.

The group mailing list is located at YahooGroups and is called DPCFitness. The "homepage" is located here.

I just logged on for a second and saw this thread, but I don't have time to read all the entries this morning to find out how we join, how much it is, and the dates.

PLEASE someone e-mail me with the details at saiphfire@gmail.com or use the link in my profile!!! Thank you!

edit: I joined the Yahoo group, but still don't know about dates, money, etc.

Okay- I've finished rounding up some willing victim...er judges.

Here we go-

Start date is the 19th of June, end date is August 20. This is 8 weeks. At the end of 8, if people want to we can continue for an additional 4 weeks.

I selected 8 weeks to help folks get into better shape in time for the last couple weeks of the summer. Again, if people are willing to committ now too 12 weeks, I'm totally cool with going 12. :)

Entry fee is $15, half goes to the winner and half goes to the American Lung Association in memory of Julie Whitt. I'll have PayPal up by end of the week.

Rules are:

1) You MUST submit a before picture to me prior to starting the challenge. I'll hold on to the before images and post them at the end. If at any time you decide to withdraw from the challenge, email me and your image will be deleted. I want the starting images as an indicator of your committment level. If you are willing to not only take the before shot, but send it to me, I figure that you are willing to hang in there at least 8 weeks. :)

2) Entry fee must be recieved within 2 weeks of the start date. I know how it is with rent and those other things like food. ;)

3) Judging will be conducted by a panel of 5 Non DPC members. They will judge based on 1) overall physical change as documented by pictures (before and after), measurements provided (scale weight, bodyfat percentage), goals reached, and final essay/written statement. The panel is a group of folks from the Torch website who have participated and successfully completed transformation Challenges in the past including the Body for Life Challenge. I will NOT be on the panel. Their decision is final.

4) You must submit after images and a written statement describing the changes you've made in the 8 weeks. This can just be a description of what you've done, but I do encourage you to look deeper. I promise you that if you committ to this process, you'll gain much more than a new body.

I really want to stress that the number of pounds lost or gained is only a part of this. What's more critical is overall change in health, attitude, fitness. So this makes it possible for someone with 50 pounds to lose to compete with someone trying to cut up or lean out.

If we have enough participation I'll expand things out to include categories. (That would be cool hint hint. ;) )

I'm giving you a week to get your before shots, measurements, and goals down. Goals? Why yes indeed! You need a roadmap of where you want to go.
Come up with 3-5 things that you would like to achieve in the next 8 weeks. Be specific! For example- in 8 weeks I WILL lose 10 pounds of fat.

Some wonderful resources are the Body for Life website which details exercise plans and has a great community in place.

Body for Life Trackeris another site.

Hussman Fitness is another great site with excellent resources.

You may notice I'm suggesting sites relating back to a particular program. I am. :) Why? Because it works. Period. It works faster than just about anything else out there.

I'm living proof.

So- just how much are you willing to do to change? :)

To repeat, hang tight on the paypal. I had to switch banks which means I need to reconfirm with PayPal. That takes forever. :p

My husband should be getting his pics to you tonight as well.

Remember, the one thing you must do is take before shots. I need a physical committment. I'm not looking at shots, just taking them and saving them to my HD.

We can work out the entry fee, so don't stress about it if you can't spring for it now. The key thing is get involved and get started. :)

are you going to post to this thread...or will it be a PM-thing? I am interested in 'watching'....Its a bit too soon for me. I am fully involved in LAWL dropping many pounds and need to tone up...but a change to an even more aggressive workout would hinder the weightloss and that is my first priority (I'm too close to goal to throw a monkeywrench into it.)

But I do want to learn from you for 'further adventures of...'

I don't see anything overly agressive going at the moment. Everyone is working at their own pace, and with their own goals. It's TOTALLY unreasonable for me to expect that someone just starting will be able to hit the same intensity level as someone who's been doing this for a year. So the idea is creating a supportive environment with a bit of competition to help folks focus. :)

I'm going to post to the thread here, but since several folks are a bit nervous, most of the discussion is going to happen in the Yahoo Group. Up to you. Just remember. I have only one expectation. That you work to your best level for you.

That's it. :)
