Challenge Participants!
The end is almost here! :) *Monday morning* everyone will need to weigh in
and report their percentage of weight lost along with points for the
previous week. *Remember to weigh in on the same scale of your first
weigh in...wearing the same thing you wore then*. If you have missed
reporting points for previous weeks, you will need to report them asap.
For anyone that isn't sure about how to calculate the percentage, here is
what you will need to do.
1. Calculate how many lbs you lost.
2. Take the lbs you lost and divide them by your starting weight. Then
just move the decimal 2 spaces to the right to give you your percentage of
weight lost.
---------------------
Here's an example:
Starting weight: 205
Lbs lost: 22
22 lbs divided by 205 lbs = .1073 or 10.73%
--------------------
Another example:
Starting weight: 187.5
Lbs lost: 28
28 lbs divided by 187.5 lbs = .1493 or 14.93%
---------------------
If you are unsure about calculating your percentage, let me know, I would
be glad to help.
**The deadline to have your percentage of weight lost and weekly points turned in will be Tuesday @ noon.
If I don't get your points and percentage lost by then, I will need to assume that you have dropped out. So get your points in!**
I want to congratulate everyone that participated in this challenge. So
many of you put your heart and soul into it and it's paid off. Regardless
of who actually wins, we should all feel good about making progress and
doing things that will help us to be healthier. :)
Don't forget to weigh in MONDAY morning!
Good luck! :)

FINAL WEIGH IN - MONDAY
Sunday, October 9, 2011
Week #7 Points
We are now entering the FINAL WEEK of the challenge! :) Woo Hoo! It's been a long 7 weeks but I hope you've all noticed some great changes. I know this challenge has been so good for me. I have more energy, I feel happier and I've been able to drop a few pounds.
I wish you all the best of luck (though I guess I should be saying that I wish you the best of your efforts) during this last week. Stay strong. You can do this.
Even though the challenge is almost over, I hope that these weeks have taught you some things about what eating healthy and exercise can do and that you will want to continue these habits. :)
On MONDAY, OCTOBER 17th we will have our final weigh in. Please watch for an email later this week giving you instructions for calculating this and reporting your points.
Please leave your Week #7 Points either as a comment below or send them to me by email: Evansfamily2007@hotmail.com
Keep up the good work!

IT'S COMING!!!
A new challenge is about to begin- Monday, August 22nd! If you're interested in feeling great, dropping the pounds and a chance to win some moola this challenge is for you!
Here's how the contest works:
Challenge Entry Fee: $20
All money is due on or before Monday, August 22nd.
This can be mailed or dropped off to me. If you need my address contact me (info is at the end of this post)
100% of this money is used for prize money.
Weigh-In: All participants will weigh in on their own scales Monday, August 22nd.
Daily points are given for:
20 pts: Exercising (minimum of 30 consecutive minutes) per day
20 pts: Self control. No FIGS (fried food, ice cream, goodies, soda)
10 pts: Drinking 64 oz of water per day
10 pts: No eating after 8pm
10 pts: 3 servings of whole grains per day
10 pts: 5 servings of fruits/veggies per day
**80 points possible each day. 560 points possible each week.**
Freebies:
Each contestant is given 1 "freebie" to use in each category per week. When a freebie is used, points are still given as if they had completed that requirement for the day. Freebies cannot be carried over to other weeks. You use them or lose them each week. 1 extra freebie is given for turning in the previous weeks points by Monday night.
Weight Loss:
It's important to keep your weight loss private. This may be the only card you have to play in the end. It's possible for participants to have earned the maximum points possible by the end of the challenge....so it may come down to weight loss. At the end of the challenge everyone will report their percentage of weight lost.
At the end of the challenge, the total weekly points will be added to the weight loss points. You will receive 10 points per % lost. (example: 12% weight loss = 120 points.)
Important note: You must weigh in on the same scale at the beginning and end of the challenge-at the same time of day, wearing the same amount of clothes....or lack thereof.
Blog:
A running point total will be posted each week, so the participants can see how they are doing compared to everyone else. This calculation will not include weight loss points until the end of the challenge. Weekly points need to be reported to me by email and I will post the group information. 1 extra freebie is given for turning in the previous weeks points by Monday night.

FINAL WEIGH IN - MONDAY
The end is here! :) Monday morning everyone will need to weigh in and report their percentage of weight lost along with points for the previous week. The sooner I get all the information, the sooner I can announce the winners.
For anyone that isn't sure about how to calculate the percentage, here is what you will need to do.
1. Calculate how many lbs you lost.
2. Take the lbs you lost and divide them by your starting weight. Then just move the decimal 2 spaces to the right to give your percentage of weight lost.
Here's an example:
Starting weight: 205
Lbs lost: 22
22 lbs divided by 205 lbs = .1073 or 10.73%
--------------------
Another example:
Starting weight: 187.5
Lbs lost: 28
28 lbs divided by 187.5 lbs = .1493 or 14.93%
------------------------
If you are unsure about calculating your percentage, let me know, I would be glad to help.
I want to congratulate everyone that participated in this challenge. So many of you put your heart and soul into it and it's paid off. Regardless of who actually wins, we should all feel good about making progress and doing things that will help us to be healthier. :)
Don't forget to weigh in tomorrow morning!
