Week 5 Points

I'm putting the challenge points separately to make things a little more clear.
exercise points+challenge points+weight loss points=total points

Mom- 157.5+0+210=367.5

Chris- 230.5+10+0=230.5

Jana- 86.5+10+90=186.5

Jason- 159+10+0=169

Dad- 73+0+45=118

Jen- 42+0+0=42

Annette- 24+0+0=24

Week 4 Points

I'm not doing fancy colors today. The first number is exercise/challenge points, the second is weight loss points, the third is of course your total.


Mom- 107+135=242

Christine- 190+0=190

Jason- 136+0=136

Jana- 81.5+0=81.5

Dad- 43+0=43

Jen- 42+0=42

Annette- 24+0=24

And this week's challenge winner is ............. MEREDITH!

Week 3 Points

Okay, I just put up the points for last week, but now I've taken them down, and these are the revised points.

You guys . . . . you weren't seriously thinking we would get points for losing a pound we just put on the week before were you? That completely defeats the purpose of the contest. This isn't a weekly contest, it's for 3 months. To see who can exercise the most and lose the most in 3 months.

At the very end, we'll have all of our exercise points, plus points for the number of pounds we've lost since the start. So yeah, points will fluctuate a bit in the mean-time. I, for instance, lost a bunch of points this week.

I hope that makes sense to everybody-- but if you really think about it, it just wouldn't be fair. Jason and I just gained 10 pounds each that we're going to lose really fast -- how fair is that if we get points for it? Or like for round one, Jason's weight went up or down a pound all the time. He would have gotten tons of points for losing the same pound over and over again.

So I'm going to put up the points as 2 sets, the exercise ones that will stay the same and we'll keep adding to, and the weight loss ones, which will fluctuate from week to week.

**Remember, we don't lose points for gaining, we just un-get the points we got for losing.

exercise points + weight loss points = total points


Christine- 140+0=140

Jason- 100+0=100

Jana- 67.5+30=97.5

Mom- 77+15=92

Dad- 43+0=43

Jen- 42+0=42

Annette- 24+0=24
