Some changes to next week's challenge, please read:
1) Jumping Jacks - as with any exercise, any kind of modification that anybody needs to make the exercise possible for them is okay. Also, I am dropping the amount from 25 to 10, and then at least one more than the day before on each consecutive day. How many more is up to how much you want/can do.
2) The weighing in thing is only 2 points overall, not 2 points per day. So it shouldn't make a great difference whether you decide to do it or not.
3) The third part about the non-microwave stuff stays as it is.
I hope this helps. As said, there will always be challenges that are unpopular with some people (this one certainly is with me! ) but that is why it is called a challenge in the first place.
Thank you for the changes. I can accept losing 2 pts for the whole week... especially if it allows me to satisfy my insatiable desire for NUMBERS!
Welcome Hana!! Great to have you on the team!
This is from the top of
this page:
The continuous challenge has two elements.
1) Exercise. You can get 1 point for every 30 minutes of exercise per day, up to 2 points total. Only full 30 minutes count.
2) Water. You can get 1 point for every liter (that's ~ 34 fl.oz.) of water you drink, up to 3 points total. Water can be flavoured or unflavoured, as long as it's sugar free.
The mini-challenges will be set by the person who lost the most weight (in %) the week before. Mini challenges can be almost anything – certain exercises, eating certain foods, writing a food log, counting calories, whatever you can think of, as long as it is related to weight loss. The amount of points can be decided by the person who sets the mini challenge for that week.

Bonus points will come from several different things. At the beginning of the challenge, you set yourself a goal loss. If you manage to come within 1.5% of that target by the end of the challenge, you will receive 15 extra points. To be eligible for these points, your goal must be to lose at least 0.5% of your weight each week. The 1.5% are referring to percentage lost, meaning that if your goal is to lose 15%, but you 'only' manage 14%, you will still get these points. Also, if you lose more than your original goal, then of course you will get these points as well.
At the end of the challenge, you will receive 5 points for every % of your weight lost.
Posting a picture of yourself before and after the challenge will earn you another 10 points.
Any team that manages to stay active throughout the entire challenge, without losing more than 1 member, will receive 30 extra points at the end of the challenge.
Weigh ins are on Saturday. You need to "predict" how much you would like to lose in the remaining time on the challenge and post a scoresheet on the
this page. You can update only 1x per week if you choose.
