Like, do you have to have lost or stayed the same every week in that month? Can you win if the month includes your first weigh in? Do you have to have been a member for the whole month to win it? Just wondering how it works...

Sorry I can't help. My consultant doesn't 'do' SotM.
I believe it's the person who's lost the most weight in a month, last month a guy won it who'd lost 13lbs in a month! He'd been on holiday for 2 weeks and only has 2 weight ins!! WOW!

My C usually does SotM and I think it's whoever has lost the most regardless of gains or STS. She also acknowledges those people who have lost 4+lb in a month as it's all that SW asks for (a lb a week) so she recognises those members who are doing that and gives them a clap.

About Me: Started SW on 05/12/07 and lost nearly 6.5st over 2 years. Had a break (moved to Canada) and just had a baby (Feb 2012). Back to my starting weight in 2007 but determined to shed the baby pounds and be successful like I was in my SW 'glory days'!! Looking for support on Minimins as there's no SW in Canada!!
I've had it in my past attempts at SW and I think it is purely who has lost the most regardless of any gain or how new they are. I'm surprised some groups don't do it, I got a slimmer of the month mug when I 'won' it!I've lost the mug but still have a photo.

My C does this:
Your first WI doesn't count.
You have to lose the week before and you have to have lost the most on the weigh in.
So if you have STS or gained the previous week you can't win it.
