Project Skinny Part 9
The Plan:
Each week, we will be tracking how many times we work out and how many pounds we have lost. One workout must be at least 30 minutes. (Walking counts if it's 45 minutes). Please be as honest as you can on the 30 minute workouts. For example, please don't walk for 25 minutes and jog for 5 minutes, then count it as the same workout as someone who ran for 30 minutes straight. As long as you have a clear conscience that you had a good 30 minute work out, then it's okay. We trust your judgment!
If you work out more than once during the day, it must be a different session to count.(Meaning, working out for an hour does not count as 2 workouts). Maximum of 2 workouts per day will count. (But if you want to work out more,then good for you!)
Starting weigh-in will be Friday, September 25th. Workouts will begin Saturday, September 26th. The week ending cycles count from Saturday to Friday.
This will be a THREE MONTH long competition. Final weigh-in will be Friday, December 18th. Please try update by December 31st or else all updates will be considered final.
If you do not update after two weeks, the week in question will be considered void. For example, if you forget to update for the week ending 10/9, then by 10/22, all workouts for the week ending 10/9 will be zero. (This prevents those non-updaters from surprising everyone with a come from behind lead!) Cheats and weight loss will still count regardless if they're updated on time.
The Bet:
Project Skinny buy-in is $10/person. The person who works out the most wins 37.5%, and second place wins 12.5%.
The person who loses the most percentage of their original weight wins 37.5%, and second place wins 12.5%. The split is 50%/50% between the two pots, then 75% to 1st place and 25% to 2nd place.
(To calculate % weight loss, take the number of pounds lost divided by your original weight.)
The total pot will increase because of the cheats. (Thus, if everyone cheats a lot, you could win some major spending money!)
The Food Challenge:
Every cheat will cost a quarter.
