Many of us are hoping to kick our weight loss into high gear. The holidays are thankfully behind us and its a new year. Many of us feel it is the time to really step it up and get aggressive about reaching our weight loss goals. We can't necessarily control how many pounds we lose each week, but we can certainly do the things needed to lose weight. And if we do, we can feel good that we're working toward our goals. Hopefully the desired weight loss will result from that effort.
So here's my idea for a 6 week challenge. And its only 6 weeks..after that we can take a maintenance break for a few weeks if we want. So hopefully that will help us focus for the next few weeks, because after all, in 6 short weeks we can slow down just a tad for a few days as long as we dont gain back what we lost.
Start date is Tuesday.
POINTS
1. EATING
You get 10 points for each day that you either stick to your alloted calories or stick to your intended plan if you dont count calories. Having an unhealthy snack is permitted if its not part of a loss of control where you're eating over your planned calories or eating nothing but junk for the day. That's when you screwed up and dont get the points.
If you eat clean the entire week (again, snacks are OK but mini binges are not), you get an additional 50 points at the end of the week.
2. EXERCISE
You get 100 points if you work out at least 4 hours per week. At least 60 minutes of that time must include weight training, yoga, pilates or some other form of strength training. You can split up the strength work outs any way you want as long as you do a total of 60 minutes within your 4 hour total weekly exercise.
3. WEIGHT
At the end of the challenge, you will receive 5 points for each pound lost during the challenge. Week to week weight change during the challenge will not count toward additional points.
---
If enough people join, I can randomly create two teams. Each week the lowest scorer of the losing team will be eliminated from the challenge. However, no one can be eliminated if they received their maximum 220 points.
Please let me know if you're interested in joining me on this challenge. Maybe we can motivate each other to work for 6 weeks with limited to no screw ups. Consistent with our food and consistent with our exercise! Can we do that for 6 weeks?
If you want to join, please let me know on this thread or by PM and if enough people join I'll post 2 team threads.
