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.

Keep up the Good Work!

You are all doing an amazing job! You are great examples to me and are helping me stay positive. Thanks friends! This week has been really hard for me...full of stress and temptation...but I am staying the course and hanging in there.

I have had to avoid the doughnuts and chocolate milk my son had Monday am, the Peanut Butter Bars at Family Night, the homemade chocolates my daughter made,  lunch out with Grandma and a box of chocolates my mom brought over. Yikes! For some who don't like sweets this week has probably been a breeze but for me it has been really tough. I am just grateful that I haven't slipped as I've made treats for the family or walked in my sleep to the choclate stash :) We can do this ladies! Thanks for reminding me we can do hard things!!

A quote from a friend: " Never underestimate the power of doing the simple things the right way in a consistent manner." Janalyn Holt

Keep up the good work!

    Don't know if I could have resisted all of those challenges--I have only myself to do the tempting. (Wish I could walk as fast as you!)
