in Motivation and Support
We have a weekly challenge running on MFP based on Game of Thrones. We have divided ourselves up into teams (King's Landing, Winterfell, Sunspear and Castle Black) and we participate weekly in food challenges, exercise challenges and weigh-ins (weight-loss). We are in week 5 of our 10-week challenge and we are missing a lot of our participants.

If you are already a participant, COME BACK!

If you want to participate, reply and we can find a team for you.

    It might be a private group (I tried doing a group search for "Game of Thrones Challenge" and it says "No Results") did you or a friend create it? If so, you might have to adjust the settings to allow Non-Friends to join.

    ATTENTION ALL -
    THERE IS A NEW GAME OF THRONES CHALLENGE STARTING APRIL 12TH

    The leaders of this challenge have experience running and helping run other challenges here on MFP and we promise to keep it going!

    If you're interested, please go to the group page (Game of Thrones Challenge) and sign up!

    There's also a forum post here:
    Game of Thrones Challenge - Starting April 12th

    Official Rules:

    These are the official rules for the challenge.

    The Challenge starts on April 12th and runs for 10 weeks.

    The Format

    Teams
    -All participants must choose a team and sign up by April 12th.
    Participants may not change teams after they have joined one.
    Each team must name a Lord or Lady to report to the Small Council. The Small Council recommends that each team have an alternate Lord or Lady available should yours be unable to report. Late reports will not be accepted.

    Scoring
    There will be 4 points available each week, unless otherwise stated.
    -1 point for meeting the cardio minutes goal
    -1 point for meeting the strength minutes goal
    -1 point for meeting the flexibility minutes goal
    -1 point for completing the weekly Small Council Challenge.

    Minutes can be shared, but on a one-to-one basis only. Punishments and Small Council Challenges cannot be shared.

    Example:
    Member 1 has 200 cardio minutes, and the goal is 120. Member 2 has 80 cardio minutes. Member 1 can give 40 minutes to Member 2. Member one now has 160 minutes, but they cannot share with anyone else.

    Reporting
    The Lord or Lady of your team must report by 2pm EST. Lords and Ladies will be given access to the reporting spreadsheet. Failure to report will result in your team getting a 0 for the week.

    The Losing Team
    The losing team each week must send their 4 lowest scoring members to the Night's Watch. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be total minutes for the week (this applies to a tie amongst teams as well).

    Should the Night's Watch be the highest scoring team that week, they will return to their original teams, and the lowest scoring team will be sent to the Night's Watch in their place.

    No Shows and Vacations/Injuries
    If you are going to be away, advise your Lord by Wednesday. You will be marked as away, and your totals will not be counted. If you do not advise them by Wednesday, you will be counted as a 0.
    Any member who has not checked in can be executed on Sunday, after reporting and accepting a 0 for them. These members cannot be sent to the Night's Watch.

    The Night's Watch
    The Night's Watch shall name a Lord Commander, who shall report their totals to the Small Council. Members of the Night's Watch may earn their way back to their teams. Details will be announced each week, as the challenge will change.

    Punishments
    The winning team will set a punishment for the week. The winning team is also exempt from the punishment for that week, meaning they will not be penalized if they do not do it.

    No points are given for the punishment, however, for each member that does not complete the punishment, 0.1 is deducted from the team's total point average for the week. Punishments cannot be shared

    Example:
    Team A has 4 members.
    Member 1: 3 points, and has done the punishment.
    Member 2: 4 points, and has done the punishment.
    Member 3: 4 points and no punishment.
    Member 4: 4 points and has done the punishment.

    Team A has 3.75 points, but 1 member has not done the punishment, so their total now becomes 3.65.

    No, because this challenge only covers the first book, so we need some people alive for the following books. :D
