Default Sign up for 6WEC #53 here.

The #53 6WEC will begin on Sunday, May 31 and runs through Saturday, July 11. You have 1 week to sign up, beginning today.


There is a cut off date for signing up and being charted so please read the official rules


The rules have changed so please read them to be updated on any changes.

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#53, Week 1, Day 1, Sunday, May 31st"
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.

2 Ways to win something!
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.

I'll be busy moving and all that... so let's say 4 days/week for me.

I'll start us off!

I pledge to exercise 5 days a week.

I am not competing for the ribbons myself so will not post any stats here, but if you are going to do so please take your measurements on the morning of May 31st and either post them in this thread or make a private note of them so you can advise me of any losses at the end of the 6 weeks.
