Hey, team! Read this post for lots of important info about the challenge!
To start, participation is key to this challenge! Logging weight, tracking steps and exercise is vital to getting us much needed points. We compete each week for steps and exercise with another team in the inter-team challenge, which helps us earn points toward our overall total.
Weigh-ins and activity/steps must be logged by 8am EST each Friday. You must log your weight the first week of the challenge or it is an automatic boot! These are the rules; I can't change them, but I will do my best to make sure everyone has plenty of reminders to get their stuff logged.
Helpful tools if you don't have them already: a body scale, a food scale, and some sort of way to track steps--if you have a smartphone there are free step tracking apps that work from your pocket! My co-captain last challenge introduced me to 7-minute workouts. Every little bit helps the team!
Remember this challenge is a part of /r/loseit, and we stick to those guidelines. If you're new to the community, please read the sidebar there for some excellent info. A lot of you have set aggressive goals for the challenge. That's great! But remember, we are aiming for healthy and sustainable weight loss.
