WEEKLY REPORTING

Participants will report their cumulative weight loss or gain (+/- pounds) weekly on Mondays. 

• This keeps personal weight anonymous
  
• Report your negative or positive weight change for the week, not your actual weight
• If your starting weight is 150 and you lose one pound, tell your team captain -1
• Participants on a team will report their weight change to their captain
• This is completely on the honor system
• If you do not have a team, you can report via a link listed in the weekly motivational email
• Download a guide to Measuring Weight Accurately

Remember to keep this challenge fun! Find a buddy or work with your team to support each other! Get creative in your health journey. Think of ways you can inspire each other to lose ten pounds in ten weeks.
