Challenge Corner discussion

The Biggest Loser Challenge!
The Biggest Loser is an American competition reality show that initially ran on NBC for 17 seasons from 2004 to 2016 before moving to USA Network in 2020. The show features obese or overweight contestants competing to win a cash prize by losing the highest percentage of weight relative to their initial weight.

Sort of like the show, teams will be trying to lose page points. At the beginning of the challenge, each team will have the same amount of page points to lose. For example, when we first did this challenge, each team had a starting weight of 7,500-page points.

The starting page point weight might be different this year, but I won't make that decision just yet. I will most likely wait until teams are made.

This challenge will start on April 1st and end on June 30th. The winners will be announced on July 1st.

Teams will be split as evenly as possible. If you would like to be on the same team with anyone, please comment with who when signing up. Please make sure that they also sign up.

When signing up, please let me know how many books you think you can read per month (April, May, & June). These numbers will make it easier for me to make teams match up evenly.

For example,

Alaina - 20 books per month (bpm)
Andy - 10 bpm
Aly - 30 bpm

** You will not be penalized if you go over or under your number.**

The general challenge rules can be found here.
