**PLEASE NOTE**

This competition is time consuming. Contestants must be able to devote 10-15 hours per week to the contest (this includes work out time, with a trainer and on your own, meeting with life and financial coaches, blogging and calling into the station). We understand that you have a family, work and other obligations, so we strongly encourage contestants to step back from additional commitments for the duration of this contest. We believe, as with most things in life, that each contestant will get out of the contest what they are able to invest into it and we want each contestant to be able to take full advantage of this opportunity!

This is a radio contest. Contestants will be asked to call into the radio station weekly for updates; this will be used on the air. We ask that contestants be open and honest and willing to talk about their victories and struggles.
