The Happy Nutritionist's Weight Loss Challenge
Lose Weight, Win Prizes, Make Friends, Have Fun!
Welcome! I'm so glad you've found us!

I am a Certified Nutritionist, and like many, I'm always trying to keep my weight in check.  I work to keep the extra 15-20 lbs. that often find their way back on my body in check, and know others have even greater challenges.  Join me, and others, who know what you're going through.  Read on, and I hope to see you join us soon!



Participation in the Weight Loss Challenge:

  • The 2008 Challenge has finished, but there may still be some discussion going on for a while at our "Discussion Group".  If you would like to join, and are not joining simply to promote a product, please click the "Discussion Group" link in the list to the right. 
  • If you would like to know how our challenge works, read the following.
  • Prizes for everyone! At the end of each session, prizes will be awarded, and consolation prizes too!  Everyone will be a winner :-)   Prizes are provided by sponsors, it's never too soon to contact me  if you'd like to be added to the list of those interested in sponsoring the 2008 challenge, but first read "How to Sponsor a Prize" below.
  • You can use ANY weight loss program you like!  There is information about different programs offered here on this web site, and participants who offer weight-loss programs or products will be sharing through our  discussion group.
  • Accountability - Each day we have a different topic and will keep in touch through our discussion group. Stop by for more details.
  • Final "Check-In" - At the beginning and end of the session you'll provide your weight, and inches around the waist, thigh and arm (more details on that later) to me PRIVATELY.  I'll judge fairly, and decide who will receive prizes...and remember, there will be plenty of wonderful "consolation prizes", so everyone will be a winner!



How To Get Started:

Please
 
click here and send me an email introducing yourself and letting me know you would like to participate.  You can do that ANY time, it's never to early.

Then, very important, click here a join Discussion Group . It will take you to the group home page, you'll see a link to join the group, please do join, as this is how all of our communication will take place.  You will then receive an email with a few simple guidelines for participation in the discussion group. 

Once you are a member, check the messages already posted for any important postings you might have missed, post an Introduction, and read the group home page for current information. If we're between sessions, the communication will be little to nothing, but if you read old messages, you'll get an idea of how things work. We have a very friendly group, and look forward to meeting you!



Note to those who sell weight loss products or services:
You are welcome to join us, but you must participate in the challenge if you would like to promote your product on our discussion group...we have a weekly "ad" day.  You will be able to share how your product or service is helping you lose weight through our discussion group during the challenge.  What better way to show how well your product works than to use it yourself! (You may also want to be a prize sponsor.)


Note to ALL who hope to advertise ANYTHING by being part of the challenge:
  There will be ONE ADVERTISING DAY a week on the discussion group. Otherwise, no advertising is allowed. 


    Weight Loss Programs How to SPONSOR A PRIZE

    What does it mean to sponsor a prize?

    If you are in business, by offering a product or service
    that can be awarded as a prize at the end of our sessions, you are sponsoring a prize!  This will make the challenge fun for participants, and will be great advertising for you! 

    I will post the prize you are offering, and a link to of your company website, for only $3.00 FREE for 6 months. .


    If your prize is chosen, I will post your product information and a link to your site on one of my most visited blogs, Happy Nutritionist's Nuggets or HerBulletin The prize does not have to be related to weight loss. 

    If there is more than one sponsor for the same company, I will still accept your prize offer, but would request that you offer a DIFFERENT item as a prize.  You will see a list of what has been offered on the "Prizes and Sponsors" page.

    Please click here to send me an email  and provide me with your name, prize, and url to your site. Thanks for being part of our challenge!!
