  • I am uncertain of the T&C's to post on this forum, The following story is not a MSE competition:

    the SUN Woman section of the newspaper featuring a fashion, fitness and food guru invite overweight ladies to lose weight. In 2006 , I contacted the team of gurus. I lost weight, I had a story printed with before and after pics. I had the best time, I had a free dress, earrings, necklace and xcellent memories and free professional photographs, Gratius the SUN newspaper. I lost more weight in 2007, The team invited ' new slim ladies' for a Christmas Photo shoot with professional photographer at a professional 'BIGGER' studio. I had the most incredible day, I had free lunch, free bracelet , and my story in the newspaper first week of December, It was so much fun created a lifetime of memories. Shelyn Michelle Ponsford

    Something of a personal option really.
    I view it more by activity rather than time.
    Some have been members of MSE for years but have only just started using the comps board.These members are still getting used to the "strange ways" on here.
    In the end it does not really matter though as we all have the same choices & can post comps/answers etc & participate in the same way.
    Just dig in & enjoy.Participate at a level that you feel comfortable with.

    I have been doing competitions online for 12 years. I think my first win was a computer game.
  • My first win was a gas barbecue, a case of wine and tickets to Summer Swing at Kew - all one prize from a women's magazine.
  • My frst win was a sony experia ray phone and my second was a netbook. Only started last October and not won anything as big since
  • My first win was £100 worth of Elemis Products and then just lots of little things like DVD's etc
    Best win a weeks holiday for 10 people in Cornwall now I am addicted to comping :)
