How do you win the contest?

1. For the grand prizes, we will present the winning team and the overall biggest individual loser with at least $1,000.

We feel that the outline/rules below for "how to win" will help to achieve that goal for all involved.

Cash grand prizes will be awarded to the winning teams (divided equally by teammates who complete the contest and who are paid up), based on the sum of the individual teammates' weight-loss percentages (initial weigh-in to final weigh-in).
