It's challenge time! Tomorrow is February 1st and this year is a Leap Year (Happy Birthday to Leap year babies!) So this challenge is exactly 29 days long. It's said that it takes 28 days to create a new habit. We're going to work on creating a few! This challenge is point based. The points are as follows:
+1 Point for each of the following (per day)
- Drink 64 oz of water
- Complete Food Diary
- 2 Fruits/ 2 Vegetables
- PER 10 minutes of Exercise up to 120 minutes (ex. 30 minutes= 3 pts for the day)
Weekly Weigh In:
We weigh in on Sundays.
For every amount of weight lost between .1 lb and 1 lb its +1 point
For every amount of weight lost between 1.1 lbs and 2 lbs its +2 points
For every amount of weight lost of 2.1 lbs and up its +3 points
Maintainers may add a point on weigh days as they maintain their weight.
(For any members who are trying to GAIN weight just substitute the word lost to gained and count the points
)
The goal is to be the person with the most points by February 29!
To join the challenge just post here with your most recent weigh-in as your starting weight!

Will there be separate threads for us to log-in our points daily or by the week?
Also, the CoTD, is that going to have a separate points value?0 -
Sherri- The CoTD is just extra fun. I hadn't really thought about assigning it a point value. What does everyone think?
I think a daily tally would be the way to go that way we can each keep a running tab of how we are doing.0 -
Setting up a google doc might be good. That way folks don't have to wade through pages and pages of posts to tally up their own points.0

IMHO I don't think it's necessary to assign points to the COTD. They are a great habit forming activity and just fun to try to accomplish. I'm all for daily check in with points, however I am unable to use the doc due to the fact that i'm using my phone to be on here and I have no copy/paste. I'll post each day and keep my running tally per week so that my flinstone phone doesn't creat extra work for anyone. I'm excited and ready for this! Lets go ladies!0 -

Made another one for weigh-ins so we can keep track. I want to try to be down to 215 by then.0 -
Are we supposed to post our daily score count, or just by the week?0

That's completely up to ya'll. I'm fine with either.0

- Drink 64 oz of water 1
- Complete Food Diary 1
- 2 Fruits/ 2 Vegetables 1
- PER 10 minutes of Exercise up to 120 minutes (ex. 30 minutes= 3 pts for the day) = 6 for 60 minutes of exercise.
Total Points Feb 1 - 9 points 0 -
Point total for feb 1: 140

In the google doc, I've got view only and can't add my points.
For the 1st, I was at 5 points.0 -
Total points for 2/1 = 140

Point total 2/2: 150
-
2/2 = 9 points
Also, I just noticed that I goofed on 2/1, I should have only had 13 points, not 14..0 -

Way to go ladies I only had 3 for the day because I didn't even attempt exercise yesterday. Today is my day though. I will get exercise today. 0

2/2. 4 points. I did great with logging and water. Hit all my goals! I had a tough workout on Wednesday, so Thursday was my planned day off - although I did give myself a point for doing a few minutes of basic strength work. Gotta keep those butt muscles strong!
My weight is not really changing - trying to gain. But my undies and some jeans are all getting tighter. So, that's a great thing - except I don't really have the money for a new wardrobe!0 -
Point total for 2/3: 14
Didn't get that second serving of fruit in, but I had tons of veggies. Yum0 -
Total for today: 70
