what next?

Hey ladies… You know, the Happy Heart Challenge ends on Monday. (sob!) Personally, I’ve gotten a kick out of it. I hope it has helped motivate you!

Now I need some help… What should we do next?! There’s always the TEAM competition to be revived…but if we do, it needs revamping. We’ve had some membership changes and some MIAs, for one thing. Also, I’m concerned about the mixture of fired up and not so fired up people. After all - if you’re the only fired up person on your team, then you end up pretty frustrated, y’know?

So what would you suggest for our next challenge? What should we focus on? Should it be individual like the Happy Heart? Pairs? Teams?

Start your mental engines please! I need ideas!

  1. I’ve been thinking about this too. I think we should do something ’cause it really is a motivater however I have no idea what. I also think it should be individually based.

  2. What about something sort-of “Biggest Loser” inspired, that looks at % of your body weight that you lose in a period of time? (But without the eliminations!) And it should somehow take into account exercise, too, since that’s important. Blest, I have confidence in your competition-designing abilities :)

  3. I know I prefer individual things rather than team stuff … team competitions just don’t motivate me well, and then I end up feeling like a major loser because I’ve let everyone down. :p

  4. I definitely like the biggest looser idea! It would push us (well me at least) to really focus on exercise AND food AND water.

  5. Yeah, what they said! Really, I have no idea what to do next. I think individual competitions seem to work well….

  6. I like individual….or pairs might be fun and different. :D Maybe we could have an inches lost contest…course, that would take a little while! :D

  7. I am with Steph — individual or an optional participation contest — right now I can’t devote a lot of time to anyting — I have got to get things in order in my life — I feel everything has gone caput since Christmas.
