I think it's time we have a chat!

How do you all feel about meeting again soon? (like this week) There are many people in this contest that are having great success with their scores, and.... there are some of us that have given up because the contest has already ended because there is no way for any of the other teams to catch up to Dan and Laureen. So...... the question to everybody is " who does better on the contest when there is a chance of winning?" I know that there are at least 3 of us that need that challenge to help us stick to the plan. I've been thinking how we can make this contest more successful for all of us, but that would mean starting over. My thoughts are to give Dan and Laureen the winnings for this round right now and to change up the game for the next round. For those of us who have been in the contest with Dan and Laureen know that the only way to win is to be perfect every week. (this makes it hard for some of us to want to keep losing to such amazing perfectionist, which, by the way, I am totally jealous of) On the other hand, not competing with them would be less interesting because of their great blogging.

MY PLAN......
Now remember.... I have not met some of you and I have no idea how much weight has been lost by all of you. But, I know that many of us are attempting to lose weight. My guess is that Laureen has lost many pounds by doing this several times (unless Laureen, you are like me and you gain it back when the contest ends) But, i am just going to be real. Perfect scores should equal good weight loss. So, my thought is to keep the scoring going as it has been, but at thebeginning and end of the 8 weeks having a weigh in day (like biggest loser or thintervention) and giving out certain points for the biggest percentage of weight loss for the top 3 losers. (ie 100 pts for top loser, 75 pts for 2nd loser and 50 pts. for 3rd loser or whatever numbers we decide.
This, I think would keep the weekly numbers not so much of a downer for those of us that have problems with giving up once we know we have been beat.

A meeting would allow me to explain better and to check up on all of our progress and see how we can make this contest a little more exciting and make it work better for all of us.

Please respond to my blog and give me thoughts. (good and bad) I will not be offended.
