Challenge Rules

9 week challenge - January 23 - March 25

Each participant contributes $20 to the Prize Pot.

4 Point Categories: exercise, challenge participation, weight loss challenge & Blog participation.

Exercise: You will receive 1 point for every 30 minutes of exercise for up to 5 hours. Anyone who completes 5 hours will receive 15 points. No extra points will be awarded for hours over 5. Exercise should be intentional and challenging.

Weekly Challenge Participation: You will receive 1 point for each day you complete the weekly challenge. If you complete every day of the week you will receive 10 points. (weekly challenges are listed on the right)

Weight Challenge: If you maintain your weight for the week you get 5 points. If you lose any weight for the week you get 8 points.

This challenge is about more than weight loss, we want the focus to be on creating good habits and feeling healthy. But we recognize that some of you may desire to lose weight and you should be rewarded with additional points.

Blog Participation: You will receive 5 points for each week that you post an update, thoughts or motivation on the blog. Setting goals works best when you have people to share with and report to, use the blog as a way to motivate and encourage each other.

Make up Points: If you miss a day of the weekly challenge you can earn 4 make up points. If you do the challenge from the previous week, every day for the current week, you can get 4 bonus points. You must do the previous weeks challenge in addition to the current week and do it perfectly to earn the 4 points. You are only eligible for the bonus points if you missed a day from the previous week, you cannot have a perfect week and keep doing the previous weeks challenge to earn 4 additional points.

My Apology

I am sorry for my most recent post about being honest.  I was so angry at myself for slipping up and that negative emotion came through in my post.  I hope no one read that and felt like I was accusing them of being dishonest because that was not what I meant.  Please forgive me.  I want to just delete that post, but I don't think I can because it was the only post I did for the week.  Now that I have had a day to simmer down I recognize that I was wrong.  I hope you will accept my apology.

Good luck everyone!  We are almost done!

    I loved your post! It made me feel better that sometimes we are not perfect and that is ok. I think being honest with yourself is the most important aspect of this challenge. You rock!

    Like Kirsten, my heart broke when I read your post. I think last week was as much an emotional challenge as it was a physical challenge. Good luck this week, I don't think I could do this challenge two weeks in a row.
