For the first challenge, you get to choose a challenge or do BOTH! I liked my first idea so much, but I know that not everyone has the equipment they need to pull it off.
Challenge #1 runs from Sunday, July 24 to Saturday, July 30. Participants will post their results in this thread. Two people (winner of Challenge A and winner of Challenge B) will each get a one pound loss deduction for their team for Weigh-in #3. If the same person wins both challenges - you get a TWO pound loss for your team.
Good luck!
CHALLENGE #1 (A): 10,000 PromisesIt is recommended that an average person walk at least 10,000 steps a day. Keep this promise by keeping track of your daily walking patterns! The easiest way to do this is to get a pedometer; however, if you figure out another method you're welcome to use that too. (Just explain it here on the board, lol)
What you want to do is to log the EXACT number of steps you've taken right before bed each night.
Then total up all of your steps taken for the week.
CHALLENGE #1 (B): One in a MillionThis challenge is a ratio competition. Here's how it works:
Write down the number of calories you ate in a day
Write down the number of calories you burned by exercise in a day
Divide the number of calories burned by exercise by the number of calories you ate in a day.
(Example: 1500 calories eaten; 350 calories burned. 350/1500=.23 rounded)
This number will give you a decimal number (aka percentage). Write it down.
Here's the tricky part -- at the end of the challenge, whoever's percentage comes closest to the whole number 1 will win. So, if you're exercise crazy, you'll probably go over (but you might lose more weight than someone who purposely keeps close to 1)
