Some of you who were not with us last month, might want to join us now that the bonus points and entrance fee have changed. Check it out and let us know if you want to join.....the more the merrier!!
It’s been a fun month. We’re excited that we’ve lost over 40 pounds as a family!!
This month we thought we’d change a few of the rules……….just to keep it exciting!
After this month we can decide what plan worked the best and go from there.
Please review these rules and let us know what you think. We will change them before Sunday if we have any feedback. If we do not hear from you we will assume that you LOVE the new goals and they will stand for the month.
Entrance fee:
$10 a month ($25 seemed to be too much since we only received $ from half of the participants)
Michelle, Ron, Chris and Mom have paid. Mom will just keep your extra money as a credit for the upcoming months if that is OK.
In order to pay the winners for the first month we ask that everyone who has not paid yet please send her $15 dollars for this month. ($10 for the March contest and $5 to pay the winners for last month)
Deb, Mike, Jon and Jay Please have your money to mom by Thursday March 11th.
In the future you must have your money to mom by the first day of the start of the next 4 week period or there will be a 5 point a day deduction for late payments (kind of like interest on a credit card)
If you pay we will assume that you are participating for another month. If you do not pay at all we will assume that you are out of the game. Although, it would be nice if you told us if you are going to participate so we know who is in the game.
No Partners this month: (we thought we would try a month without partners because we may have an odd number of people in the game. Also, we have different levels of motivation and we want everyone to have a fair chance. We can still motivate each other or make an under the table deal with a friend to split the money if we motivate each other )
Ways to earn points:
20 points- drink 6 cups of water or like liquids each day (8 cups seemed a little excessive.)
30 points- keep to your food plan
30 points- keep to your exercise plan
10 points- keep your good habit.
10 points- lose your bad habit.
30 points for losing your weight loss goal for the week. (1 ½ % was not fair for everyone because we are all at a different weights and some of us just want to maintain. So we are each going to set a weight amount to lose/maintain weekly. Everyone’s goal will be specific to their needs)
There will be no 20% bonus this month for weight loss. It is replaced by the 30 points for losing your weight goal for the week.
Total points possible each week is 130
10 extra points- for posting your point total by Sun. at midnight. ( if you don’t post your points by Sunday 20 points will be deducted from your score each day that you do not post your points.)
Chris will be in charge of adding and subtracting these extra points from your total that you post. Do not personally add them into your point total for the week.
How to Win:
We will have a weekly winner and a monthly winner.
The person with the most points each week wins $10 for the week. (It can be divided if we have a tie)
There will be 4 - $10 winners in a month for the person who has the most points that week.
At the end of the month the person with the highest monthly point total wins the remainder of the money. (if we have 8 players for example, we will pay out a total of $40 for the $10 a week prizes and then the monthly winner would receive $40. If we have less players the monthly prize would decrease)
Plans:
We are in the process of collecting everyone’s plans. Michelle and Mom will post them by Sat. night so we can get started on Sunday with a plan, as long as we can get a hold of everyone today. Please call Mom’s house with your plan or email her by Saturday if we have not reached you by phone.
You must stay with your posted plan for the entire month.
At the end of the month if you want to change your plan at all you must post it by Sat. at midnight or you must stick with your original plan for another month to earn your points.
We look forward to another month of weight loss as a family!!
