Do you have an idea who you want to be paired with?

We have to get a good grasp on what the goals are between the participants.

I think they should be "simular" and not too different from each other. For example: Two with goals on losing fat tissue (one set group for the lottery), Two on bulking (one set group for the lottery), two on general fitness growth (if they have no loss/gain goals), etc.

In other words:

1. Fat loss one group
2. Bulking one group.
3. General fitness one group

Or something like this.

Then the lottery selections are made within that one group that share common goals.

After the lottery, Journals are made with BOTH particpants in the title line.

In the opening posts, it lists the stats and personal particulars of each and the statement of goals, with a start and end limit.

These two posts should be revolving, with updates being made to THESE TWO POSTS, in weight lossed (or what ever the important part of the personal goal is)---instead of all over the journal.

One of the troublesome things about journals is one has to practically read the entire thing to get a GRASP of the persons situation. If the start, updates, and end are WITHIN one post (as in the opening posts, if designed correctly), this can leave the rest of the journal for advice, motivation, and other important information. Understand what I mean? (TM?).

If I want to know how Focus is doing.......I can go to ONE PLACE in the journal to find out (wgt wise, where he lists his loss as compared to the start, as he would keep this portion of the post updated regularly, along with other information we decide to add in). Its all in one place nice and neat.


Best regards,

Chillen

Unfortunately i do not have the leisure time to read all 11 pages of this to understand exactly what's goin on. But from what I hear, there is some friendly member on member contests goin on?

I wanna bulk, I have pictures and stats (on my photo thread and my journal) I just started a day ago, who wants to compete?

I'd prefer if you weren't hyooooge to start out with...
 
There would be no categories. The drafter would draft somebody with similar goals if they prefer, we dont need categories IMO. Plus you dont have to be training for the same goal IMO because you're there to hold each other accountable and motivate.

The post will be up tonight with an email following.

Okay.

And what about the conciseness of "important" information being confined to the first two posts? These posts would be the place to provide updates (as decided) to keep them in one place instead of all over the journal subjecting the reader to go through several pages OR the progress portion can be in a locked thread for quick access.

Thanks TM.

I like this idea, and some other ones in your previous posts. Being able to see a clear concise progression of updates in one or two posts would be significantly neater. Though we should still allow for multiple entrees for daily workouts etc.
 
As of today, July 01, 2008 (at the time writing this post), these are the goal participants: (no particular order)

  • Kraken-Male
  • BigTom-Male
  • JDie2003-Male
  • Focus-Male
  • iwasfatbefore-Male
  • Hardyb-Male
  • Crarzyboy-Male
  • rideandshoot-Male
  • Realworksucks-Male
  • Shayner-Male
  • Sorridere-Female
  • JackP-Male
  • EricL-Male
  • Dallen-Male
  • 5Spirit-Male
  • Woodt-Male
  • Lillian-Female
  • FlyinFree-Male
  • Lei-Male
  • Wojo-Male
  • Danger Dave (AZN Dave) Male

Unless I am incorrect in listing the sex of each participant. We currently only have two female participants. I have one more participant I will try to get to join.


Trainers:(or what ever we are going to call them, no particular order)

  • Mreik (Watcha-ma-call-it :), Ref, peacekeeper with big GUNS)
  • EVO (Tames Watcha-ma-call-it--with the GUNS) :)
  • LV (?) A PM is necessary.
  • Tony M (Drafter)
  • SkianS 40
  • Chillen
  • Malkore (?) A PM is necessary.
  • JP Fitness (?) A PM is necessary.
  • Jaim91

I haven't PM'd any of the listed Mods, should I? I don’t know if someone else has already. Let me know.

Best wishes,

Chillen

The premise is something like this: (briefly)

A TWO NAME journal.

First Post: (no particular order)

  • Personal stats
  • Goal THAT WILL BE ACHIEVED
  • Status:
  • Start and end date
  • etc, etc

Second Post:

Same as in first post, but with second person associated with journal


Updates would be posted to these first two posts, and titled appropriately.

Of course, weight training reports, diet information, etc, can be within the journal.

Its just the MOST IMPORTANT--quick ACCESS.information....You know: I want to know how this person is doing info--- is within the first two posts.

Say if I am gone a week, and I dont have time to look through 20,000 pages, I can go to the Op's first/second post, and find out whether he/she lost weight (etc) in the first two weeks, instead of taking 15 minutes.


I will changed your sex, Dave.......LOL.

excellent idea. do we choose a buddy or something? or do we get paired based on similarity?

There is going to be an impartial draft (or pairing) and each has a goal (and they may not be in common, at least the time of this post, the general understanding is the pair wont have simular goals) but will hold one another accountable, with the trainers/motivators assisting the cause.

At a "prescribed" end period, in addition to the euphoric feeling of meeting ones goal, there has been some talk on putting in a HTML HACK (like a trophy under the rep bar--at least I suggested it, and think it would be a cool touch for the participants)


Best wishes,

As soon as we iron out the particulars. TM is currently working on a formal post to provide the foundation for it. (he stated he is posting it tonight)

Dependent on this (and its contents), we could start--basically any time we get all the members to agree. Which means VERY SOON.


Best wishes,


Chillen
 
great, this should be fun. but woulnd't different people have different ending points? because some have begun their goals already right? and some are half way throuhg or havent' begun yet?
