Discipline Equals Freedom - Weight Loss Challenge

burly_man308

For anyone who is serious about losing weight, getting into shape, feeling better, improving their health and taking back their life. To make it interesting and hold people accountable, we have a point system. This is a friendly competition. Weekly weigh-in's, weekly exercises to complete, logging of meals and food, motivation, inspiration, encouragement, we have it all. Weekly competitions, monthly competitions, overall competition... this is a place for those who are serious about making a change and are willing to start competing and fighting for their health. In the great words of Jocko Willink, "Discipline equals Freedom"... Let's get to work.

This challenge is being held as a private group which you must join. But to keep it serious, manageable, and accountable, we will only be taking the first 30 people as of right now. Go to the groups tab, search for the Discipline Equals Freedom - Weight Loss Challenge group, and apply. This is a lifestyle changing challenge. While the weight loss is our main goal, we will be implementing changes to our discipline that will allow us to change our habits and lifestyle, so that we may achieve the freedom and success we desire.

Phase 1 begins October 1 and runs through December 31, 2017.

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.

@LeslieW77 Hi, I'm new to this site myself so not completely sure. But I would try hitting "My Home" up top left of screen and seeing if you don't have a message or group invite waiting for your approval. Failing that, I'm not sure sorry.

Also, hi orlybayu, I'm sure burly_man308 will help out as soon as he has a spare moment.
