What kind of challenge? There is a "20 pounds by Thanksgiving" Challenge which runs longer than 12 weeks but it is just support and a way to record your loss each week with a group. There is also the "Insurgent" Challenge (of the Divergent series) that is 10 weeks I believe and starts soon but that gives exercise goals as well as other goals. Harry Potter is also starting in a few weeks and that is also for different goals.

What is the insurgent challenge, and the Harry Potter one?

Ooh I would like to know more about the Harry Potter one. What is it called? I will go and search for it

ssingley13

How do you search for groups??

ssingley13

Nvm . .. figured it out but don't get any search results... just a while screen lol

Sorry for the late response. Harry Potter is Hogwarts I believe and I think they are starting on the 27th so they should be opening up to newcomers soon. Keep an eye on the forums and it'll pop up sometime soon. Insurgent is at: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/104967-insurgent-challenge-the-second-divergent-challenge

You can read the Rules and Regulations to see what it is about. They are from the first challenge but I think it's similar to the one coming up.

I I looked through the insurgent group... but I don't really understand what's going on lol Can you explain in a nutshell for me?

mxmakm

Well I just joined it and I didn't do it the previous time so I'm not completely sure, but it looks like it will have goals for each section, including calorie goal, exercise goal, etc. and you need to hit those goals to get points for each section. You also have a challenge for your own group and a punishment challenge so you can get 7 points total. Everyone is divided into 5 groups I believe and the teams compete and after every week the lowest 10% gets sent to a different group. It should be fun.

Yes, this morning saying I got in to Hufflepuff! My husband also got a message this afternoon that he has been waitlisted but he applied about a day after you did, yesterday around 4pm EST I believe, so if you didn't get a "waitlist" letter yet there's probably a good chance you got in and the prefect of the house hasn't messaged you yet. I hope you hear something soon! I know the waiting period is terrible.

ssingley13

I hope I hear soon too! I'm sure a lot of people applied. Waiting sucks!
