This morning I was having a chat with my friend (and guest poster) Crys regarding last evenings post and my desire to lose 15lbs. She claimed she was also looking to lose 15lbs, and that she was on board with me to lose.... and somehow that turned into me running a challenge on my blog.I came up with the concept of the 15 Week Challenge for selfish reasons; I'd like to lose 15lbs and I figure I'll do it at the rate of 1lb per week.
I was participant of the first Biggest Loser Blog Edition which was ran by the lovely Angie and it was a great success, so I'm hoping there will be just as much interest in my weight loss challenge!
I don't want to reveal too much at this point as I'd like to get a feeler for how many people might be interested.
I have some great ideas to feature: Workout Wednesdays, Century Club Workout, Weekend Warrior Challenges, OH MY!
I'm also working with some AMAZING sponsers to come up with a stellar prize pack for the winner: Paul Plakas, Subway, Smart Wool Socks, Agatsu Kettlebells.... and the list goes on!
I'm really excited about the possibilities this challenge will have.
Your task: Send me a comment or email and let me know if you're interested!
Your next task: Pimp this contest, tell all your friends and GET READY TO LOSE!
A huge thanks to M@ for desigining my logo! THANKS M@!
I'm soooooo excited about this... WEEEEEEE!

I'm interested ... anything to help get my butt moving and the weight coming off.
I'm in, too!
I'm in!!! :)
I would definitely be in for this....only one question is when do you think would be the start & end date.
Summer is killer for losing weight (for me) and I would hate to be setting myself up for failure.
I'll be staying tuned for more details :)
I'm interested in this, especially now that I own my very own treadmill in the basement and a mini work out area in the same spot.
Staying tuned for details!
You know I'm TOTALLY on board Amy!!!
Hi there! I've been lurking around for a while (I think I found the link to your blog on WW), but have never posted. And in a weird coincidence, Crys and I went to University together.
I'd like to join too...I've been putting off the last 15 lbs for a long time now, and this might be the kick in the pants that I need. Definitely let me know more details as you have them! :)
Yup! I want to run Melissa's in Banff at the end of September MUCH lighter than I ran it last year!

i would definitely be interested - i need to lose 10. i think i need more info though because i'm a group exercise instructor. my workouts are varied but i have to teach according to the club's plan, so incorporating even more exercise wouldn't be possible. i just need to keep my fork out of the fridge! :)
I'm interested!!
I'm interested too!!!
Me too! I have the last 15lbs to lose!
I am usually a lurker on your blog! But it seems like this challenge is just what I need to kick my butt back into weight loss mode! I've about 25 lbs to go, but 15 lbs is a large chunk of that.
Count me in!
Thanks for the comment on my blog and sending me here. I definitely need some motivation. Count me in!
I would definitely be interested!
INTERESTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Okay, Amy, I read your blog most every day. I am motivated by your exercise abilities to say the least. To join in your weight loss challenge would be an honor. I only have that last 7 pounds to lose which you would think I could get done but, well, apparently not. Count me in.
I'd love to take part. I've just been maintaining for the past year and I need to get on the stick again, 'cause I still have alot to lose!
I'm new to the blogging experience but I just spent about 20 mins reading your posts and you're very inspirational. I have about 15 lbs to lose but most of all... I need to start moving and get in shape. For this I'm in desperate need of motivation!! Need more details!
I am in! I need something to help get my butt in gear and my head in the right mind set.
Let me know if you need any help organizing!!
I would love to join this type of challenge. I have put on a bit of weight since my vacatio and need to lose it.
Definitely interested!!
Count me in!
I've been struggling lately, and joining challenges with one or two friends that don't seem to get anywhere. (We all give up which is no motivation at all!)
Maybe having a lot more people who are more successful on board will help me want to emulate and be successful too!
Plus 15 pounds puts me back at a happy weight (I'd like 20 to be my final number but 15 would be great too!)
I'm in. I have been in a slump and maybe this could get me recharged.
count me in! I need a good kick of motivation!

I'm in. I have been struggling with getting started and I desperately need to lose about 70 lbs.
Thank you to Angie for directing me here when I was lamenting on her website about BLBE not doing another challenge.
I am interested - I need something to kickstart me again!
I am definitely interested! I hope it isn't too late to join. I'm not ready to lose those last 15lbs, but I'm definitely ready to lose my next 15.
