THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL FIND THE CHARTS WITH YOUR TEAMS, YOUR WORKOUT'S, AND YOUR CHALLENGES.

Ok ladies here we go! On 9/26 we start our 10 week challenge. We are split into 7 groups of 10 and will be competing as a team and individual. During the next 10 weeks you will be asked to challenge your self and to push a little harder each workout. Below I have listed the guidelines and goals for the group.

Weigh-in (required): Each Friday Every member needs to weigh-in. You should do this by sending me a message on MFP. Make sure to put your team name in the subject line as it takes time to go through 70 names.

Water (optional): It is important to drink water when trying to lose weight so for this challenge we are aiming for 64oz a day, that’s 448oz a week. Please list the ounces you drank with your weekly weigh-in as demonstrated below. If you reach this number you will be awarded (5 points)

Workout Minutes (optional): It’s suggested that a person needs at least 30 minutes of exercise a day to stay fit, well were going to push our selves. For this challenge we will be doing 420 minutes a week. That’s an average of 60 minutes a day. You will check in each week with your logged minutes. If you reach your goal you will be awarded (5 points)

Weekly challenge (optional): Each week you will be challenged to push yourself in your workout. Completing this challenge will award you (5 points)

Personal challenge (optional): You will also be asked to set one personal goal each week. By completing this challenge you will be awarded (5 points)

Weigh-in example:

Weight: 230
Water: 448, +5 (if it’s less then 448 then, 1=100oz, 2=200oz, 3=300oz, 4=400oz)
Workout min: 420, +5 (if it’s less then 420, 1=100m, 2=200m, 3=300m, 4=400m)
Weekly challenge: +5
Personal challenge: +5


Side Note: Please try and remember to be prompt with your weekly check-in’s as 70 people is a lot of people to keep track of and it will give me time to complete the charts. Because we are in groups please remember that your team mates depend on you each week, so if you miss more then one weigh=in you will be taken off of your team. This assures their chances at a fair game.
