Once you've read the details and point system on the right sidebar, check out these additional questions and answers below.
Q: I really want to do this challenge, but I am going on vacation within the next 8 weeks and don't want to be "dieting" during that time?
A: Sign-up for the challenge anyway! Go on vacation and have fun! Most likely all of us will be vacationing at some point during the next 8 weeks. Just because you cannot completely commit for a short period of time, doesn't mean that you cannot commit for the majority of it.
Q: This challenge looks awesome, but I really don't have any weight to lose, can I still participate?
A: YES! YES! YES! Even if you don't have any weight to lose, chances are there are other things you need to work on to get fit and to grow in holiness! Maybe you'd like to tone up certain muscle groups, eat better, exercise more or establish a daily prayer routine. If you don't have any weight to lose you can still earn weekly points for maintaining your current weight in addition to all the other ways you can earn points. Your chances of winning this challenge are just as good as anyone else's.
Q: What is the weekly group challenge?
A: At the beginning of each new week, a unique challenge will be presented to the group. If you successfully accomplish the challenge you will get to add in those points. Each weekly challenge will have two components, a fit component and a spiritual component.
Q: When and how do I get signed up?
A: Just send me an email and I will add you to the list. You will need to get me your $25 by July 21st. email: ugotjesus@yahoo.com
Q: How are the weekly prizes determined.
A: At the end of each week (Saturday) the four women with the highest points for that week will have their names put into a drawing. There will be one winner each week.
Q: What are the weekly prizes?
A: The weekly prizes will vary. They may be gift cards to Subway, movie passes, frozen yogurt, etc., plus some unique and meaningful prizes as well!
Q: Will I be asked to buy anything or spend any money on products (aside from my initial sign-up fee of $25) at any time during the 8 weeks.
A: NO - this challenge is not to promote any weight loss product or program. It's simply a fun opportunity for us to support, motivate and inspire each other.
Q: How much money will the overall 1st and 2nd place winners receive at the end of the challenge?
A: That depends on how many women sign up to participate. If we have 20 participants, I am figuring that the the 1st place winner would win $225 and the 2nd place winner $155, leaving $120 to be divided amongst the eight weeks to cover the costs of the weekly prizes.
Q: Will I be expected to share my current weight or any before/after pictures with the group?
A: No, you will not be asked to post any pictures or post your actual weight. However, if you want to, you can (you just won't be asked or expected to). This entire challenge is based an honor system. Don't be afraid of having to post yourself on a scale each week to prove the pounds you've lost.
Q: What is the beginning and end of each week?
A: Sunday begins each week and Saturday ends it. Your weekly point totals will need to be emailed preferably on Saturday evening (Sunday afternoon at the latest). Weekly drawings will take place on Sunday evenings.
Q: The point system seems a bit daunting and I'm concerned that it will consume too much of my time trying to keep track of everything.
A: To make it as easy as possible, I've created a PDF blank log sheet located on the right sidebar, or you can click here. It may take a day or two to get use to the point system, but after that, it shouldn't take you more than a few minutes each evening to log your points. Easy peasey!
Q: This challenge starts this Sunday, doesn't it seems like that's really short notice?
A: Yes, it is short notice. But deep down inside you know you've wanted to do something like this for a long time. Stop waiting for the perfect time to start - it will never come. So why not now? Why not this Sunday? Jump in and commit to getting fit...... and holy!

Just saw this weeks challenge about cleaning the frig. Just checked mine and wheweee ...the kale I had bought for my new and improved diet has gone really bad! It's funny how I keep buying kale and it never gets used. Tried baby kale and it wasn't any better. Anyway, I realized that actually I have 2 side by side refrigerators so I will reserve the one on the right for my daughter Megan so that she can get her "fit and holy" pts. too! Also, looking forward to getting pampered at the salon today! I love these challenges Lorissa!
