FAQs

How do I win the contest?

At the end of each month you will receive an email to remind you to enter your monthly data. Those at or below their starting weight will be eligible for the monthly drawing. The last drawing is from all teams who have all members at or below their starting weight.

What is the smallest group size that can participate?

The same size as the last contest, 4, for the same reasons. We will allow smaller teams, but you run the risk of not finishing because everyone quits.

Do I just set up a new team and disregard the old Team?

Current teams have all members who made their goal automatically entered in the next contest and on their old website. Old team members have a new weight loss goal of one pound. They do not have to make that goal to be eligible for prizes. It is recommended that they keep a one or more pound buffer so that the monthly weigh in is not a problem.

Can teams keep the old schedule of weekly team meeting and entering days of exercise?

Your team meeting schedule is up to you. Teams that encourage exercise logging are more successful, but it is not required and does not count toward prizes. 

Must weigh-ins be witnessed? 

Any time you think your team will win a prize, it is good to have the weight witnessed. I would certainly have the final weight witnessed.
