This is how we did a challenge on my motorcycle board. We sent $10 to a paypal account, broke into groups and the winning points group got the money split evenly. Good way to motivate everyone. We started last january and went for 12 weeks.
Transformers challenge (guidelines) 2008:
Each week you will acquire one point for each of the following for your team:
Drinking at least 6, 8 oz glasses of water a day (This does NOT include diet clear pop, soup, or crystal light type beverage). I believe doctors recommend 8 glasses a day, but we will start with six. (1 pt given per day, possible 7 per week)
Logging what you eat. This can be done either by hand, in the tracking thread, or on another computer source. As long as you write it down somewhere, it doesnt matter. (1 pt given per day, possible 7 per week)
Exercising at least 20 minutes a day. (1 pt given per day, possible 7 per week)
Lifting weights (It is only recommended that you lift every other day) Core can be done daily but should be counted as exercise rather than lifting. (1 pt given every other day, possible 4 per week)
Meeting the Challenge for the Week each day. (1 pt given per day, possible 7 per week)
You will get one point at the beginning of the next week if you lost weight on your last week weigh-in. Honor system, optional to provide your weight. (1 pt possible per week)
If you continue the previous week challenge, you will get 1 point the next week. (if you continue week one and week two challenges into week three you get 2 extra points in week three)
Weekly points are to be posted in this thread:
Points are tallied Sun - Sat each week. You need to post your weekly points by end of day Monday to get credit for your weekly points.
Money: Each participant pays a one time $10 entry fee. All money (less paypal fees) will go to the final pot and will be divided amongst the winning team. Money must be in by Dec 31st to participate.
