Here are the guidelines for this challenge.
This Challenge will run from Monday, August 11 to Sunday, November 9 and will be tracked using www.myfintnesspal.com. If you do not already have an account, please create one (it’s free) and get familiar with it.
There will be NO: FAD Diets, Juicing and/or Fasting
Honesty is a must. You only hurt yourself if you “fudge” entries.
Everything will be recorded and tracked on a daily basis. All entries must be completed by 9pm daily. This means that if you miss an entry, you won’t get those points for the day. You can always gain points, and you will never lose them.
This challenge is going to be point based. The categories are:
Keeping a complete Journal (up to 21 pts per week)
Food (what you ate and when)
Activity (what you did, how long, and intensity)
Weekly weigh-in
Maintaining healthy, balanced and complete meals (up to 77 pts per week – 3 points per meal, 3 meals per day and 1 point per snack, 2 snacks per day)
Activity
Type of activity
Duration
Intensity (Easy = 5 pts, Medium = 10 and High = 15)
Encouragement/Motivation/Help
Encouragement = 5 pts per week
Motivation = 10 pts per week
Help = 20 pts per week
Meeting your weekly goals (2 points per goal met, up to 10 points per week)
Goals must be specific, non-weight related (ie, drop 5 lbs this week), and trackable Examples include:
Drink 6 – 8oz glasses of water each day
Cut down to 2 – 12oz sodas from 4
And of course you get points for your total % of weight lost at the end.
The winner will receive a gift card of their choice for the amount of the “Pot” as well as a portrait photography package (approximate value: $200) so you can show off the new you!
While you don’t have to disclose your weight & measurements to the group, I do need them for tracking purposes. However, I do recommend not keeping it to yourself so everyone can help to encourage and motivate each other to reach our goals.
