Welcome to the Odessa First Ward Biggest Loser Contest

Get ready to have a lot of fun and hopefully get healthier and lose some weight in the process! Here is a general introduction:

Each team will be given a record sheet where they will record each weeks weight loss and calculate that into a percentage. Please bring the record sheet to each weigh-in so you can record your current statistics. There will also be a community record sheet where each team will account for their team's percentages and fitness points.

Weight Loss (40%): Simply the difference between your teams beginning weight and ending weight. (put into a percentage formula)

Fitness (50%): 6 daily points x 7 days= 42 points a week per person (84 team points), 420 points possible during the 6 week challenge (there are only 5 weeks even though it is 6 weeks long). To receive these points do the following:
1. At least 7 hours sleep
2. At least 48 ounces of water (six 8oz glasses a day)
3. At least 5 servings of fruits and/or vegetables
4. At least 30 minutes of moderate excercise a day/weekday (if exercise 5 times give yourself 2 extra points) This will give you two days off during the week and you will still be able to earn all the points.
5. 15 minutes of scripture study a day

One personal goal: (talk with your teammate about this, and write it down)-make up your own, something that will challenge you
-keep a food journal
-deep breathing/meditation for stress
-take 15 minutes for yourself to relax
-no sweets/sugar-lift weights
-stretching-etc
-no eating after a certain hour
- bed by certain time....you get the idea, right?

Challenges (10%): The challenges each week will be a surprise. We hope that they will test all sorts of fitness, invoke team strategy, and simply be a blast. For each challenge won you will receive 1 point (or 1.25%).

HONESTY will play a HUGE part in the Biggest Loser. We ask that you are considerate of other players and play this game with complete integrity.
