    MAY CHALLENGE SPECIFICS

    The goal of the month is to lose 5 pounds (or more) while staying accountable with our intake and calories spent throughout the month.

    On the first, and then every Tuesday following, we will weigh and report to the group page (or original thread if group page not working).

    On this page we will put on May 1:

    1. Team COLOR
    2. Current weight
    3. Month's weight goal

    There will also be available a "challenge" for the teams. By completing the challenge, each team will be able to earn bonus for weight loss or calories for the week.

    During the week, team members should be in contact with other team members for encouragement and support. (Remember there are some people who value being anonymous, so if someone on your team is sticking just to weight loss/exercise and not sharing their life history, that is okay). Try to send encouragement to each team member as often as possible.
    Every Tuesday after that we will log:

    1. Team COLOR
    2. May 1 weight
    3. May 8 weight (and add a date to every week after 15, 22, 29)
    4. weight difference*
    5. Calories burned that week*
    6. If you completed the challengE

    Look for the challenge for the next week as you report!

    Our wonderful stats/math people (thank you) will then take the information provided on the * spots and come up with team averages. Wednesday morning we will post the top five teams in each category with their numbers. We will post after the first week the winners for the week and the winners for the month totals... so every week your team has a new start!
    (Team leads please let me know if there are any people on your team who are not participating so we will not average them into the statistics.)

    Please note-

    Calories burned should be only reported if it is actually caused by effort, sleeping with a heart rate monitor on and logging the time DOES NOT COUNT! If you have questions over what counts as calories, please discuss it with your team members. I trust you can work together to be honest in your reporting.

    Second, remember we are in this for the long haul. Please be healthy. Eat at least 1200 calories and do not do any type of exercise that your doctor would not approve of.

    Third, if you do not report, for whatever reason, you are out of the challenge. If you know you will be away from the computer all day on Tuesday, report on Monday.

    I hope this is clear enough. We will see if the group sites are up (hopefully) for weigh in on Tuesday. If not, please put your info on the original thread.

    Good luck to all! FIVE POUNDS FOREVER!!!
    :happy:

    I am new to these type of posts. I am on the silver team and don't seem to be able to post on the discussion page under our group. Could someone explain if there is a certain way to do this or if anyone else is having issues. I don't see any other posts yet either. Thanks!

    The issues with the group sites have been addressed by the tech guys, but the system needs to be rebooted before it will work. I do so hope it will be by tomorrow, but use this thread if it is not fixed. Also, don't forget to friend all your team members for additional support!!
