Team Challenges:
In addition to Individual winners, there will be a Team Winner (except the Very Enthusiastic category). If you are in more than 1 class, you are on more than 1 team and anything you do will contribute to both teams.
New Team Challenges Begin Week 3!
*Anyone who loses at least 2 pounds from the previous week will earn 2 points for their team.

- Every class, you will have your trainer initial your Tracker Sheet for your attendance in your weekly trainer class. This attendance sheet will be turned in at the end of the contest. For each class you attend, you will earn 3 points for your team. You may make up your class in another one of your trainer's classes for the workout (at their discretion), but you will not receive points for the makeup. Points will only be awarded for attendance to your assigned class. I will check these against the check-ins in the computer so make sure you always check-in through the computer when coming to the club! Vacation or work trips with proof count as an excused absence, but you will not receive class points for that week.
- If a person has 3 or more missing weights, you will no longer be part of the team (but may still participate in class). Missing weigh-ins means you did not weigh in during the week and did not have an excused vacation. Remember, if you have to miss class for any reason other than vacation, you must weigh in at some point during the week, either with your trainer, myself or a staff member and make sure it gets to me (either leave for me or get it to your trainer).
- Because teams are uneven numbers, each team’s points are represented by a multiplier based on 10. So, a team that has 10 people, 1 point = 1 point. For teams that have more or less than 10, a multiplier is used based on the amount of people over or under 10. For example, a team that has 8 people, 1 point = 1.25 so the total number of points on any given challenge is multiplied by this number (and then rounded). This makes it fair for all teams to earn the same amount of points regardless of how many people are on a team.
- One of the best ways you can be successful is to work together as a team. Support each other, create a Facebook page, find ways to work out together other than your weekly class, share ideas and struggles. You are all in this together and can make it a positive experience for yourself and everyone!
New Team Challenges Begin Week 3!
- Team Percent Challenge
- Top 10 Challenge
- Pound Challenge
*Anyone who loses at least 2 pounds from the previous week will earn 2 points for their team.
- Starting in Week 6 (new point amounts)
* Anyone who loses at least 1 pound from the previous week will earn 2 points for their team.
* Anyone who loses at least 2 pounds from the previous week will earn 3 points for their team.
Note: Your trainers will turn your weights in as usual, so you don’t need to do anything extra for this.

This second nutrition challenge holds valuable information about macronutrients (macros). Kelly points out early on in the video that the counting macros method encourages balanced meals which lead to greater satisfaction, better blood sugar and energy levels, and a variety of nutrients. I think it is important to remember what you are trying to do right now is to create a lifestyle change, not just a temporary loss in weight. Losing weight and setting your daily calories the right way, can lead to learning healthy habits that satisfy your needs instead of leaving you depleted and unsatisfied. If you are depleted and unsatisfied, you will fail long term. Creating these healthy habits now can then carry over into your life after this contest and create real change, instead of going back to your old habits and gaining the weight back. That's what we all want in the end, right?

"Pop" Challenge #5: Reset Your Goals
For this “Pop” challenge, you must review your SMART goals sheets. There are only two weeks left of this competition, but your fitness journey is not over. Even if you made all your goals, the next step would be maintenance. I would like you to really think about the goals you set at the beginning of the contest for yourselves. Did you make some, are you on track for others, did one not turn out well? Whatever these are, I would like you to update any goals that are still active/ current and write that down on the new SMART goals sheet. Then I would like you to think about what you want to accomplish by the end of the contest and write that down. Finally, write down any goals that you want to keep working on after this contest ends. SMART goals are important to set to help keep you on track and motivated, so this challenge is completely for you! The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it. Knowing your goals before this contest ends, will help you continue on your journey.
Please fill out the SMART goals sheet and leave in the Biggest Loser Box by Sunday, January 19th or email me a PDF. You will not get this back, so you will want to make sure you still have a copy for yourself!
