FAQs
Click each question below for its answer:
Winners are determined by the percent of body weight lost – NOT the number of pounds lost.
Here’s how you figure it out:
- Take the number of pounds lost (ex. 10 lbs)
- Divide by the STARTING WEIGHT (ex. 10 lbs divided by 200 = .05)
- Multiply by 100 (ex. .05 x 100 = 5%)
There are FOUR weigh-ins for the 2020/2021 program.
- Initial: October 26-October 30, 2020
- NOTE - If you attended a final weigh-in for the 2019/2020 Challenge we can use it as your initial weight for the 2020/2021 challenge
- 90-Day: January 11-16, 2021
- GOAL - maintain weight over the holidays (no more than 2 pounds over initial weight) OR any amount of weight loss
- 180-Day: April 12-17, 2021 (3% body weight lost by 180-day weigh-in)
- Final: September 13-17, 2021 (5% body weight lost by final weigh-in)
