Prizes in the next challenge rounds!!
The next challenge rounds will be 1) Valentine's Day, 2) Easter, and 3) Memorial Day. That will be two 6 week rounds and then a 9 week round. That set up seemed to sound good to most everyone. The core of the challenge (big group, Monday roll calls) will remain the same. But, we will add some new elements to spice things up a bit.
1) We will have a prize at the end of the round!
2) The prize will be won by participation!
3) Everyone will be involved, but we are asking everyone who can to share a dollar or so to help pay for the prize at the end of the challenge. It can be wrapped in a sheet of paper and mailed first class mail (PM for details) OR it can be PayPaled to me (PayPal to [email protected]).
4) Contributing to the prize money gets you points/chances to win.
5) Meeting your goal weight at the end of the challenge gets you points/chances to win.
6) We will have a daily post/question. Posting to this 3 times a week gets you one point/chance to win. Posting ALL 7 days gets you 2 points/chances to win.
7) Posting to roll call gets you a point/chance to win.
8) Everyone (who wants to do it) will have a challenge buddy. These two people/buddies will chat via email/PM/phone (whatever you like) and get to know each other better and help keep each other on track. You can confess that you've strayed without having to do it with the whole group. You can brainstorm on how to better meet your goals, etc. You get the point!
At the end of the challenge round, all chances will be entered into a drawing for one or more prizes depending on the amount of money we gather to pay for them. This may be a gift certificate for ordering protein/vitamins or a bucket of your favorite protein powder shipped right to your door. It may also be a gift cert/card for the place of your choosing--Amazon.com or Walmart or Target or Vitamin Shoppe, etc...
Please consider contributing to the fund! We have had 7 folks pitch in so far and have rounded up $48!
