Week #1 Points

Please report your points for Week #1 by posting them in a "comment" below.

REMEMBER, if you post your points by Monday night, you will receive 1 EXTRA FREEBIE to use in ANY category for Week #2. Please make sure that when you use a freebie, that you mark it somehow on your tracking sheet. (examples: use a different color pen or put a star by it) This will help you to remember what freebies you have used for the week. You still get the points when you use the freebie.

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 with 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.
