Daily points are given for:
20 pts: Exercising (minimum of 30 consecutive minutes) per day

10 pts: Drinking 64 oz of water per day
10 pts: No eating after 8pm
10 pts: 3 servings of whole grains per day
10 pts: 5 servings of fruits/veggies per day

80 points possible each day.  There are 560 points possible each week. 

Let me know if you need the tracking sheet emailed to you to track your daily/weekly points.

Freebies;
Each contestant is given 1 "freebie" to use in each category per week.  When a freebie is used, points are still given as if they had completed that requirement for the day.  Freebies cannot be carried over to other weeks.  You use them or lose them each week.  1 extra freebie is given for turning in the previous weeks points by Monday night.
 
Weight Loss:
It's important to keep your weight loss private.  This may be the only card you have to play in the end.  It's possible for participants to have earned the maximum points possible by the end of the challenge....so it may come down to weight loss.  At the end of the challenge everyone will report their percentage of weight lost. 

At the end of the challenge, the total weekly points will be added to the weight loss points.  You will receive 10 points per % lost.  (example: 12% weight loss = 120 points.)

Use of pills, shots, etc to lose weight will not be allowed.

Blog: A running point total will be posted each week, so the participants can see how they are doing compared to everyone else.  This calculation will not include weight loss points until the end of the challenge.  Weekly points need to be reported to me by email and I will post the group information.  1 extra freebie is given for turning in the previous weeks points by Monday night.


I think that's it.  If you have any questions, please contact me.  If you know of anyone that would be interested in participating, they are welcome to join.  Contact me asap if they would like to be added to the challenge.

Thanks!
