ohhhh, a fellow vegetarian!
nice to meet you!
april here.
i find that if i don't eat something really bad for me i don't hit my calorie goal every day.
perks of being a vegetarian, i suppose. ^^;;
i guess what i'm trying to say with that
is that i totally understand where you're coming from. ><

Inactivity | Those who are inactive (no posts or updates within the thread) for four consecutive weeks will be notified via a quote-reply that they haven't posted, & will be asked if they wish to still participate. If no reply is given (or if participant admits so), they will be removed from the challenge--with no hard feelings, of course. c;

The Points System

Okay! So sorry for stretching this as long as I have! I wanted to try to develop this thing so that everyone, regardless of their goal, can participate & compete. I've decided to run the contests like so:

There will be a new contest every week. This contest consists of acquiring the most points within that 7-day period. Start days are on Sunday, & the week ends on Saturday. There will be either prizes consisting of gold or items.

There are three "big" slots--1st, 2nd, & 3rd. The prizes will be ranked, with all others getting "consolation" prizes, which will be smaller prizes of either gold or items. Each week will have a theme, with the prizes being related to that theme! 8D

Here are the points you can earn from doing a variety of activities that deal with fitness & health :

Activity in the Thread | this involves having regular posts in the thread, displaying how active you are. keep in mind that skipping a day, but posting the next day with updates on two days still only counts as one day.

5 pts. - posted 1 - 3 days during the week.
10 pts. - posted 4 - 5 days.
15 pts. - posted all 7 days.

Activity outside the Thread | working out consistently using any activity (cardio or strength) for at least 30 minutes for that day.

5 pts. - exercised 1 - 3 days during the week.
10 pts. - exercised 4 - 5 days.
15 pts. - exercised all 7 days.

Steps per Day | for those who track their steps via a pedometer or Fitbit, here's an extra boost in pointage for you !

1 pt. - walked 5000 steps or lower.
3 pts. - walked 5001 - 7000 steps.
5 pts. - walked 7001 - 9ooo steps.
10 pts. - walked 9001 + steps ! *the daily recommended is 10000*

Weight Loss | for those who are tracking the loss of weight, here's a boost in points for you~

0 pts. - maintained your weight for the week.
5 pts. - lost .5 - 1lb during the week.
10 pts. - lost more than one pound during the week ! *caution --losing more than 2 lbs per week is -not- recommended & is certainly not endorsed by yours truly*

Completing the Weekly Challenge | the weekly challenge consists of something that I'll post to challenge you through each week. complete it, & you'll get 10 pts.

Water Intake | if you drink at least eight 8-oz. glasses of water for the day, you'll receive 1 pt. for each day you complete this task. you must note this in your daily summary to get the credit.

You guys are welcome to offer any suggestions, questions, comments--what-have-yous ! This is still only a draft! Hopefully we'll be starting as soon as next week. I'll post this, once approved, on the first page of the thread for reference. I'll be tracking yew guise with an Excel sheet, which will help me keep up with your points progress through the whole week.
