It's time to put the excuses aside
Now is the time for results!
This contest is open to anyone who wants to start making healthier life choices, and make some money from it too!
About the contest:
The contest will take place over the span of 1 month.
Starting Monday, July 10th, and Ending Thursday, August 10th.
At the start of each week, I will post a workout regime that you can follow if you want.
You don't have to follow it, but it's recommended.
Additionally, you must weigh in at the start of every week.
Whoever loses the most weight over the duration of the contest will win:
100 SBD
ADDITIONALLY:
Everyone who remains consistent for the ENTIRE duration of the contest will win SBD.
The way this will work:
the total payout for all of my contest posts will be divided amongst all the people who complete the contest.
ex.(If the total payout for posts is $1000, and 10 people complete the challenge, each person will win $100 worth of SBD).
So sounds good, how do I enter?
To enter:
To remain in the contest:
So, everyone wins.
If you remain consistent, you will be rewarded.
If you've been holding off exercising, hopefully, this will be your incentive!

I'm in. But i am not a techy. How do i upload a video? A pic i can do. But i have to look up how to do the video. :)
Thanks for the encouragement! I had called my husband a little earlier to see if he would be behind me on this, and he told me to do it, too. So here we go!
AWESOME!
so just record a video with your phone or something and upload it to youtube.
You can unlist the video if you want.
Then, just post the youtube link in your comment and you're all set!
Thank you very much!
No need for thanks, you're taking the steps to a healthier life :)
I want to get in shape.
please attach a video of you weighing in, also state your steemit name in the video.
I want to get in shape.....without having a heart attack.....and round is a shape, so......
Seriously though, good timing. Been knocking the rust off after being lazy, so following a plan for the month might be just right. Especially since we can change it up.
So when we post, we're just posting as we would anything, but tagging it?
Seems like a win all around...work out.....get some posts going.....meet some new folks.....etc.
Yes, just upload at least 3 videos each week with the tag
"getinshapechallenge"
If you are consistent with the 3 videos each week, you will be rewarded with SBD.
If you lose the most weight, you win an additional 100SBD.
To join, just comment here with a video of your weigh in, whilst saying your steemit name :)
Its a win, win situation.
Get in shape, earn some money, join a community!
I need to get into better shape!
So....here's my weigh in. To clarify, I'm using pounds. Here's to being better than we were.
Good luck everyone.
I want to get in shape.

Nice compatition..
Thanks!
Nice contests..to make people helthy..:)..but i am not taking part..
Thank you, that's the goal :)
you welcome...
What if we are skinny as hell and want to gain muscle?
that's a little bit harder to hold a 1-month contest for :/
But might be a good idea for the next contest, if this one does well.
You can still join in though, you will win SBD regardless of how much weight you lose.
I can try lol
Go for it bro!!
The end results will be worth it :)
Can I join in on that as well! Not interested in losing weight (and since I'm supposed to be training for a Marathon, I should be exercising right now) . But I sort of feel like I'm starting to turn into the "skinny-fat" person right now!
Of course you can join!
You don't need to lose the most weight in order to win SBD :)

I checked out your blog as well, gave you a follow :)
i am getting more weight at home so i decided from monday i will start workout in gym......
I hope i will get into shape ....
thanks for the contest
That's great news!
You should join the contest, just post a weigh in video along with stating your steemit name and you're in!
I want to get in shape. But I am someone who has to gain and maintain weight. How does that work for this challenge?
You can still join!
This contest is focused on weight loss, so you won't be eligible for the 100SBD prize,
BUT
If you finish the contest, you will earn an SBD reward, depending on the total payout for the contest posts!
So either way, you win :)
I want to get in shape. However, I am not at home, I'm on the road and weighing myself is not possible at the moment. However, I weighed myself the other day and I was 68 kg. I will post a video of my weight at the earliest possible convenience and post videos of my workouts. unfortunately, I will not be on the same scale each time, so i'll have to simply average my weights and go by the trend. My videos of my workouts will be interesting as I'm walking from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic right now and my workouts will be walking ridiculous amounts of mileage most days. I may even do some Steem posts about my travels.
Week 1: Workout 3: Here's my vid for July 15th. Walking from Bram to Castelnaudery, France, the world's capital of Cassoulet (but frankly, the Cassoulet we had in Fabrezan was way better).

Week 2: Workout #2: Rainy day in Toulouse, so we didn't go on some crazy long hike this week, but instead, holed up in a hotel and got some work done. My workout today was wall squats, a mat workout, and running the 5 flights of stairs in the hotel several times.

Video for July 13th. OK, I'm TOTALLY lame and I used the video camera the wrong way, so you will not see ME in the video, and you'll not see a single thing I was talking about in the video because I had the camera pointed the wrong way. But I swear it was me and you could see the camera bouncing up and down as I was talking and walking! LOL. I hope that one 'counts'. I'll try to do an extra one this week.

Awesome man!
No rush man, the contest officially starts in 2 days, so you have time to post your weigh in video.
Can't wait to see your progress man :)
Instead of posting a vid of my workouts, how about an image of our fitness tracker screen?
Just way easier for me.
#getinshapechallenge
Unfortunately, I can't accept that.
The video part is the only strict policy I have for the contest, for trust reasons, and because I'm putting some of my own money into this.
Just wanted to comment on the 'most weight lost' as the end point. That always favors large men because A) they have a lot of weight to lose and B) Can usually drop a ton of weight quickly.
A better measurement is % of total body weight lost, because it evens the playing field a bit more between men and women. It still favors REALLY heavy people over moderately heavy people, but it's still a better indicator than just total weight lost.
Just thought I'd throw my $0.02 into the ring! Couple of people explain it here on Reddit.
I know this, that's why I made it so everyone participating wins, not just the "biggest loser".
Week 1, Workout #1: Here's my vid for July 11th.

Unfortunately, I still have been nowhere near a scale. Maybe a pharmacy has one, so I'll do my best, but I'm living in hotels in small towns in Europe for the next two months, so that is a challenge.
#getinshapechallenge
Week 1: Weigh-in: Here's my weigh in video. Finally found a pharmacy with a scale! I'm officially starting out at, lets say 71.5 kg. That's 157.6 pounds. I'm already down by at least 10 pounds since the last time I weighed myself about a month and a half ago. I forgot to say my SteemIt name in the video! Sorry.

Week 1: Workout 2: Here's my vid for July 14th. Happy Bastille Day from France. This ended up being a 22 mile day. Holy crap! That was not planned at all, but it worked out OK. Sorry it didn't get put up yesterday, but our hotel had no internet.

Week 2, Workout #1: July 18: Still in France on the Canal du Midi for a 10 mile walk today.

Week #2, Workout #3, : Hotel workout again. Surprisingly easy to get a good workout in a hotel room.

#getinshapechallenge
Week 2, workout #4: Walk from Bram to Gramazie for about an 8 -9 mile walk. Watch this vid, as you'll love the scenery walking through fields of sunflowers in the South of France. Super nice day.

Awesome contest!
This is a contest of true value and importance! This is the kinda thing we need way more of!
You are inspiring me to come up with some challenges that help improve the world. Thanks for doing this and helping improve people lives while promoting Steemit!
SteemON!
That photo is awesome! Arnold is one of my favorite fitness masters. Only one I like more is probably Bruce Lee. Have you ever read Arnolds Book "Encyclopedia Of Bodybuilding?
Its quite epic even if ur nota body builder.
What if our goal is to get in shape by gaining weight? cause i actually do need to gain weight..lol. I weigh like 125 lbs, im 26 and male. can I still enter? if I get in shape in the opposite direction and just try to build muscle instead of losing weight? lol. cause im totally down for that. I have Lyme Disease and Biotoxin illness so im pretty skinny..been wanting to gain weight for years.. but its hard for me to gain weight.. thanks for the post either way. have fun people.
Yes you can absolutely join,
you will still win SBD if you finish the contest, you just won't be eligible for the 100 SBD prize.
Just make sure to attach a video of you weighing in with your comment. Make sure to state your steemit name in that video!
So....is this still happening? Just wondering since I'd only seen a few people and no workout posted. I know we don't have to use @illestbambi 's workout....just wondering if we were still doing this since it didn't appear a workout was put up.
I assume it is still on. Few people have posted there own, if not, honestly, this is still a great way to keep other accountable for their workouts!
Yes it's still on, wasn't able to log in yesterday but today I will post the start of the contest.
Well I'd still like to do this @illestbambi, and I did my weight in video.....but I can't get it to upload to save my life.
Clearly it's possible, as others have loaded theirs. Help a brother out and fill me in on how to upload the video here in the reply section.
Hopefully I'll still be eligible for the contest.
Basically, you have to upload the video to youtube, then post the youtube video link
in your comment and it will show the video :)
So I'm still in? LOL
Thanks for the info, posting vid.
Is it too late too join?
good luck guys
