The Rules:
1)
The official start of the competition is Friday February 1st, 2013 and
will go for 6 weeks, ending on Friday,
March 15th, 2013 . The entry fee (cash only) must be
received at your first weigh-in on Friday, February 1st. At the
first weigh-in you will set a realistic target weight loss goal for yourself
(5lbs, 8lbs, 15lbs, whatever). You are encouraged to set your goal as high as
possible.
2)
The first and last weigh-ins (on February 1st and
March 15th) will be held at Community Reformed Church at 9:15am – prior to a M-Life Meeting.
We will have a scale provided for those two weigh-ins. Those weigh–ins will be
in a private room and your weight will remain private from everyone, except the
Gatekeeper. You will also do weekly, at home, weigh-ins every Friday. You may
use whatever scale you have in your home for the weekly weigh-ins. We encourage you to weigh-in on your own
scale the morning of the first weigh-in so you can check if you need to adjust
your weekly weight compared to the scale at church.
3)
If you lose or
maintain your weight during the weekly weigh-in, then you are free and clear
that week. However, if you GAIN weight for the week, you owe a $2 penality fee
that will go into the overall winning pot.
4)
Weekly weigh-ins
must be given via private facebook message to the Gatekeeper by 3:00 EVERY Friday. If the
weigh-in is not communicated by 3:00pm
on Friday, the Gatekeeper will automatically apply a late fee penalty of $3
that will go into the overall winning pot.
5)
Your weight will
remain confidential and will only be shared with the Gatekeeper. The results
will be presented in percentages only. The Gatekeeper is an anonymous volunteer
that IS NOT an M-Life Member and is not associated with M-Life, or Community
Reformed Church. The Gatekeeper is the only person with access to the email
account, communications and confidential information. If you wish, you are
welcome to enter the contest under an alias.
We do have a private Facebook group that we will add you to that is
great for weekly encouragement and motivation.
6)
Winning the
Competition – You will pay
an entry fee of $20 on Friday, February 1st. If your target weight
loss goal is met at the end of the 6 weeks, then you will receive half back
($10). If your target weight loss goal is not met, the entire entry fee will go
into the winning pot. If you come in third place at the end of the contest, you
will receive your entire ($20) entry fee back. Second place will receive $40
and the winner that loses the highest PERCENTAGE of body weight during the
contest will win the remainder of the pot.
We will also have random prize drawings throughout the competition!
The more people we have
involved in the contest, the more money the winning pot and the more fun the competition gets.
Spread the word! This event is also open to non M-Life
attenders.
