We're trying to round up some members for a summer fitness challenge starting on Sunday, based on a point system. Whether you're just starting up or you already have a system in place we're using a group setting in order to log what we do and assign points to our healthy habits. The template for the points is in an excel spreadsheet, and then each week we will post our total points on a google doc, thus the competition.

Here's how the point system works:

Daily Points
Contact with group - 5 points/day
Drinking 64 oz of water - 5 points/day
2 servings fruit - 10 points/day
3 servings veggies - 10 points/day
No soda - 10 points/day
No fast food - 10 points/day
30 minutes + exercise - 15 points/day

Weekly Points
3000 calories burned each week - 40 points/week
Not going over calorie goal - 40 points/week
No chocolate - 10 points/week
No chips - 10 points/week
No cupcakes - 10 points/week
No cheetos - 10 points/week
No brownies - 10 points/week
No ice cream - 10 points/week
Each pound lost - 10 points/week
Maintaining weight - 5 points/week
Gaining weight - 0 points/week


If you are interested give me your email and I will send you the excel spreadsheet, the google docs link, and the link for the group for the challenge.

Thanks all and let me know if you have any questions!

    it's really not that hard when you think about it. it's not saying NOT to do all these things. say you want to eat a cookie well then you don't get the 10 points for that but you make up it for it with exercising more, etc. it's really the same thing as a regular weight loss plan. it's not that restrictive. drink water, eat fruits, eat veggies, exercise. and it's not suggesting you do ALL these things, it's just seeing how many good choices you could make in a week, and compete with the choices others are making.

    Yeah zero points for me on that one, well except the exercise the weight loss and the overall fitness points I guess. Total fail on the food though.

    Hi!

    I'm completely new to posting, but this sounds like a wonderful challenge. I'm not very good at being strict with myself but this seems like good fun. If it's ok to join could I message you my email?

    Hey guys, I'm so ready for us to start tomorrow. Don't forget to log weight and measurements for tomorrow (along with totaling points) so we can all keep track of our progress. Super excited.
