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.

Thank You

Thank you for letting me join your group and participate in the challenge. I can't believe the nine weeks are almost over. 

I have to admit that I am looking forward to eating and drinking and sleeping without thinking- Is this okay, or Is this enough?

Jen (Matthews) told me about the challenges that she has participated in, so I was excited when she asked me if I wanted to sign up this time.  Some of the weeks have been easier than others, but they have all been eye opening.  I have tried to incorporate all of the healthy habits (drink more water, eat more vegetables, get more sleep etc.) that we have experienced in the challenges into each week. The hardest has been finding time to get 5 hours of excercise. Now the challenge is to keep it up!

Good luck to all of you, and thanks again for letting me join your group.
