The Game Is on!!

Here is a little more info on the game. I am thinking of gettingit started the week of July 11th. So we would go from the 11th of July to 9th of August. (Let me know how that works with everyones time frames)

1st : The Website http://www.gameondiet.com/

2nd: The Point System is as follows

You can earn a maximum of 100 points a day for doing the following:
1) Eating 5 balanced meals a day, every 2-4 hours -- 6 points per meal
2) Exercising for at least 20 minutes a day -- 20 points
3) Sleeping for a minimum of 7 hours per night -- 15 points
4) Drinking 3 liters of water a day -- 10 points
5) Adopting a healthy new habit that you practice every day -- 10 points
6) Dropping one unhealthy habit -- 10 points
7) Communicating with your team members every day -- 5 points

You earn penalties (points lost!) for:
1) stepping on the scale more than once a day
2) unsanctioned snacking (you can have as much celery and cucumber as you want throughout the day, plus 100 free calories of whatever once a day, no other snacking)
3) Colluding with the opposing team to get them to break a rule
4) Drinking alcohol (see exception below)
5) changing the healthy or unhealthy habit during the course of the game (you have to pick those and stick to them).
6)Drinking Diet Soda (Not allowed)

It's not about total deprivation as you get:
1) One day off a week, when you don't have to follow any of the rules
2) One meal off a week when you can eat what you want and have one unit of alcohol
3) each day you can have 100 calories of anything as a bonus treat
If you don't lose at least 1% of your weight each week, you lose your alcohol privilege for the duration of the game. The game runs for 4 weeks
Points are handed in once a week and tallied with your teammates. The winning team will get to do something to the losing team that we have yet to determine.

I know that some of you have already told me you are interested in doing this so after reading this if you still are let me know and when we are about to get started we will meet together so we can go over all the rules, come up with a prize and a strategy so we can win!!
