8-Week Weight Loss Challenge

From SixSistersStuff.com

What you need to know:

-This is an 8-Week Challenge that starts on a Monday (June 8th-August 3rd)

-Each person will pay $20 to Chelsea through PayPal. Email address: ChelseaASloat@gmail.com (don't forget the middle "A") NOTE: I am hosting this for FREE. All of the money will go towards the winners.

-There is a weekly point calendar for each of the 8 weeks

-Beginning on Week #2 there is a double point challenge (highlighted in yellow)

-You can exercise each day, but you will only receive points for exercising 5 days a week.

-You can choose to not each sugar/treats each day, but you will only receive points for not eating sugar on 6 days (everyone needs a free day!).

-There is a sample food journal that you can use or you can use your own kind of food journal to keep track of what you eat.

-Weight yourself anytime by each Monday morning and tally up all points by 10 AM. Make sure that you weight yourself under the SAME circumstances each week, including your first weigh in (for example: Morning/Night, Empty/Full stomach) If you like to weigh in on the evenings, you can send me your text Sunday evening. But, I need everybody's weigh ins by Monday at 10 AM or you miss the points that week.

-Choose someone in your challenge who will be the one you send a weekly email/text to with your totally weekly points and totally weight loss for the week. They will have to keep track of everyone’s points and then have them send out an email or text with everyone’s standings on Mondays. We said that all points had to be emailed/texted by 10 AM on Monday. If you didn’t send an email/text by that time, you received no points for that week. Send text to Chelsea Sloat @ 970-685-1132

-Daily contact with teammate: It’s amazing the strength that comes from encouragement from your teammates! We said that you could email, call, or text someone on your team to encourage them to have a healthy day. It helps knowing that you are all in this together and makes you accountable for what you do or don’t do.

-Cash prize money will be divided equally between the person who loses the largest percentage of weight and the person who has the most total weekly points.

Daily Categories/Points for each. (This is how you will earn points each week! With a few additional challenges I've come up with to keep it interesting!)

Additional Challenges to earn extra points:
These will be announced on Monday of the new week. So be sure to check the blog!!!!! We won't start these until week 3 and I will have three of them, worth 25 points each!

How you loose weight and the specifics of your diet and exercise will be up to you! I know this challenge is only 8 weeks long, but please keep long term goals in mind! This should help you work toward those.

I am going to put together a helpful chart that you can print out along with a food journal if you would like to use it. There are numerous apps you can use as well. Use the food journal to help you with your dietary choices and hold yourself accountable regardless of what your plan is! A food journal is very helpful in this process.

We can all help each other! I used Greg as my teammate and support during another recent fitness challenge. If you need help with anything, please email, text, or call me. I will do my best to help and use other resources to help you as well!
