  • Sign up for 6WEC #54 here!

    The #54 6WEC will begin on Sunday, July 12th and runs through Saturday, August 22nd.
    You have 1 week to sign up, beginning now.

    Saturday 11th July is the cut off date for signing up and being charted so please make sure you sign up to this thread by the close of that day if you want to try to earn an award.

    The rules have changed this year, so if you have not joined us in this challenge recently please read them to be updated on the changes.
    Official 6WEC Rules and Where To Measure.
    http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...wec-rules.html

    Sign up!
    1. Tell us how many days a week you will commit to exercising.

    2. Make a note of your beginning measurements.

    You do not have to post them here, in this thread, if you aren't comfortable doing that. Just be sure to write them down someplace safe to compare with your measurements at the end of the challenge.
    Please see the official rules for a picture that shows you where to measure. The following stats are the only ones that will be considered for the ribbon awards.
    -Under arms, around chest
    -Fullest part of chest
    -Ribcage
    -Waist
    -Hips
    -Upper arm x 2
    -Thigh x 2
    -Weight

    Don't forget to check in!
    1. Look for a new thread each day in this forum. It will be titled something like "6WEC#54, Week 1, Day 1, Sunday, July 12th"

    2. Tell us whether you exercised, took a rest day or a PTO day.

    3. PLEASE try to post daily! If you can not post daily, please try to post at least a couple times a week.

    Two awards to be won!
    1. The 3 Challengers who lose the most will earn a ribbon. Winners are determined first by inches and then by pounds, using the body stats listed above.
    Slugged Challengers are still able to win a ribbon so if you get slugged, continue to post.

    2. Those who complete all 6 weeks of the challenge without getting slugged will earn a slug free button.
    Each Challenger can use up to 5 PTO days that will not count against them.


    Here is an example of the charting of Exercise, Rest, PTO and Slugged days:

    In the above example, challengerA could have taken a second PTO day on Thursday or Friday, however, she posted that they were to be counted as rest days, so she was charted for the posts she made.
    This is just a sample week. A challenger can use up to 5 PTO days, any given week or day.

    In for #54 you bet, not going to worry about measurements since I am so close to goal they are in the single digit losses anyway, which is fine with me, I got my hip measurement under 40 finally so it is all good!

    Anyway, Momtomany reporting for 5!

                  Hi, Im brand new here and would like to sign up. I need a good challenge to get me in gear
                  Sign me up for 5 days
                  My first goal is 174 which will take me off the "obese" list.
                  Then 145 which will bring me to the high end of "healthy weight".

                          I am in, please. I pledge to exercise five days a week. My stats are as follows:

                          Under arms, around chest: 34"
                          Fullest part of chest: 40.25"
                          Ribcage: 30.25"
                          Waist: 30.25"

                          rung 6 - beans, hummus
                          rung 7 - other fruits
                          rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)
                          rung 9 - whole grains (fresh Dutch breads...)
                          Major Goal - 128 lbs/ healthy range
                          (on to pre-maintenance)
