Right, we have apparently lost 4 more people from the challenge, leaving two teams at the bare minimum of three members.

I also noticed that all the Team threads are only frequented by one or two people, if even that, and are otherwise dead.

The idea of the challenge was for it to be a Team challenge, and that simply isn't happening at all.

I am not sure what caused that, and I have no idea how to change it. It seems little less than posting everybody's stats once a week, and threads like that already exist, so there is no need to do it here as well.

With that in mind, I am ending this challenge right here and now. I don't have the time or energy to put into something that most people don't really seem interested in anymore, and that seems to be entirely failing at its purpose.

Thank you to everybody who was part of it, I'm grateful you stuck around as long as you did. You all did well, and hopefully the challenge did something useful for you as long as it was active.
 
I wouldn't mind finishing the challenge :D . There is not much to it in terms of admin. - especially with only a handful of people left. We can just keep updating the threads & see how much weight we lost by the end of it - even without the mini-challenge.

Maybe "It's a tiny challenge on a weight loss forum, not the end of the world" but some people did commit to see this through - and have been around 100%.
People who wish to drop out it's their right - b/c they are busy/have problems, etc. I totally understand by the way.

The rest of us could continue, right? Only a few weeks left. Even if I am the only person on my team.
 
The challenge continues...
Reply to the main thread if you are keeping playing. That is where we are currently voting on whether to keep in teams or play as individuals with a single chat thread.
 
The challenge will continue on an individual basis.

We are therefore going to abandon these team threads and all pile into the main thread to chat and cheer each other on.

People that have left the challenge are welcome to rejoin.
New people are certainly welcome.

I will apply a points credit to give them some points for the missing weeks based on 80% of the average points achieved by other players at that time... They need not fear being miles behind people that have played all along.
The fact that it is not 100% gives a reward to people who have stuck with the challenge all along and worked hard but dropped a few points here and there...
