Everything is a challenge...

Within the Discipline Equals Freedom Weight Loss Challenge, everything is a challenge where we hold each other accountable. Daily, weekly, monthly, and eventually for the year, we will challenge each other, hold each other accountable, and fight to regain control of our lifestyles.

Here is how the challenge works.

1. Add each other as friends so that we can all be held accountable.
2. Log your food everyday in your MyFitnessPal food log and complete it at the end of every day. Each day is 1 point for you.
3. Complete some type of exercise every day. There will be a weekly exercise that you can do each day, which if you complete, you earn 1 point.
4. Log in each Sunday and record your weight. Any lost weight is eligible for points. (3 lbs = 1 point)
5. There will be some type of weekly exercise challenge that if you complete, you will earn 3 points. It is strenuous and more demanding, so be prepared for the challenge and reward of extra points.
6. There will be short term and long term goals and competition periods. These will range from weekly to monthly to quarterly to yearly. Small goals and disciplined decisions will add up to great results over time.
7. Each month will be a new competition to see who can achieve the most points for the month. These accumulated points will stay with you on your total score, but you get a new monthly point total each month. Every three months we will look at the quarterly score to see who has achieved the most points for the quarter. Same for 6 months, 9 months, and a year. Be prepared for surprise challenges or competitions randomly thrown into the monthly competitions.
8. Stay engaged, post, talk, encourage, push, and achieve with your fellow competitors.


This competition should be nice and simple. I will post a point chart so that everyone is clear. This challenge is mostly about discipline and accountability. Although we are competing against each other to push each other and better ourselves, ultimately it is you vs. you. Your discipline and your choices are what will help you achieve your goals and ultimately lead you to the freedom you desire in life. Everything is a challenge. Be prepared to work harder than ever before and be rewarded like never before.
