2. Your diary must be set to public for the duration of this challenge (I will explain why in a bit). If you don't feel comfortable doing that don't join (sorry).
3. You must be ready to work hard to win this challenge. I don't like slackers :).

6. The challenge will begin tomorrow and sign-ups are today.
7. I will track everything in a google document!
8. I will add people who are in the challenge as friends.

How this challenge works:

This challenge has several components that will test your ability to set hard yet realistic goals. For the challenge you must post a desired end weight and weekly target pounds lost. So if you want to lose 5 lbs in 3 weeks you must also delineate: wk1=1.5 lbs loss; wk2= 1.5 lbs loss; wk3=2 lbs loss. Each contestant will be assigned 0 or 5 points for meeting their weekly goals. Weigh ins are on Sunday to encourage clean eating on the weekend :).
In addition to the weekly weight goal, you must set 1 goal you want to hit everyday for each of the three weeks (this cannot be a weight loss goal.) So for example, wk1= drink one gallon of water everyday; wk2= workout everyday; wk3= eat no sweets. I will check the diaries of ALL participants every night to see if you hit your goal. Each participant will be assigned a score of 0 (fail) or 1 (achieved). I will post the updated spreadsheet every OTHER day. Again, if you do not log you are disqualified.
The winner of this challenge will be the person who has amassed the most points. The most points you can win during this challenge is 46 points. Points are attained from:
1. Hitting your weekly weight loss goal on Sunday (0 or 5 points)
2. Hitting your daily goal (0 or 1 points)
3. Hitting your overall weight loss goal on Monday October 31st

What I need:
1. Start weight
2. Goal weight
3. Weekly weight loss goals ( wk1=x; wk2=y; wk3=z)
4. Daily goal that is not weight related (wk1=x; wk2=y; wk3=z)
5. Set your diary to public and log everything

Reccommended:
1. Body measurements ( arms, waist; hips; thighs; butt)
2. Body fat percentage
3. Before pictures!

Get ready to rumble!!


Here are my goals:
1. Current weight: 126 lbs
2. Goal weight: 121
3. Wk1= 2 lbs loss; wk2= 1.5; wk3= 1.5
4. Wk1= no sweets including gum; wk2= gallon water everyday; wk3= workout everyday

    I set my diary to public. I have a question for you though I've never participated in a challenge before and I was wondering where we will be posting our weigh-ins and weekly goals. Are we writing those in the note section of our food diary or our exercise diary? :smile:

    I know you said you would be creating a spread sheet, and it would be updated every other day. Does that mean we get to see it today? I'm just wondering, not pestering :)
