I am starting a group fitness challenge starting June 1 that will go until September 14. I'm going to be calling it the "Get 'em to the Greek" challenge. It will be a team fitness challenge where the team names are Greek God's and Goddess'. Here are the details on the challenge:

Weekly Challenges (posted on Mondays): water, food, exercise, "at random challenge"
Monthly: fitness test

Weigh In's: They are required but will not count towards team point total. Basically, the weigh in is just for keeping track of your progress throughout the challenge. Weigh In's will be on Monday.

Measurements: We will also be keeping track of our measurements also and will be due on the 1st of each month. This is also not counted towards the team points. Again another way to keep track of your progress.

Some ways to earn points for your team:

~ Being active in your team forum
~ Completing the challenges (food, water, exercise, "at random", etc)
~ Being the individual most improved on fitness test
~ whole team checking in on time
~ Being under calories for a whole week

and many more ways to be posted later when I set up the actual group page.

Anyone game!?

    I said I'm with you, Jamie, and I am. Does sound a bit daunting with all the things to keep track of. Are you sure you'll have enough time to do that? Or are you planning on having a co-chair to assist you?

    Thanks everybody! Will be getting the group set up shortly. Location doesn't affect much, will have to figure out time differences to get info in on time.

    I'm hoping to have a co-chair. Trying to keep it as simple as possible to keep me from pulling out my hair. :)

    How are the teams going to be organized and how would this be tracked? There are so many people wanting to get fit and healthy! :)

    I will be creating a group here on MFP when i get up from my nap later. There will be a sign up thread and from there each team will be chosen at random. I will also be looking for captains for each team as well. I'm also in the process of getting a spreadsheet made too.
