COMPLETE IN SIX
Challenging yourself to be more complete in six weeks.
Monday, October 27th – Sunday, December 7th

Complete in six is a six-week healthy living program designed to help achieve positive habits in all aspects of our lives. It focuses on a simple plan of healthy living that will (very) likely result in weight loss and help set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits.

Complete in six is set up, this round, as an individual competition. Points are earned for completing healthy habits daily and for losing weight (details on the following pages). There will cash prizes for our winners!

Teams
Although, this will be an individual competition, Becca and I will each be managing half of the group of
participants.  This will help us give you more prompt attention along with encouragement and motivation.
Report scores every Monday by 2pm for five (5) bonus points.
Report your weekly points via text/email to:
 Julieanne: 801-915-6762 or hammondsj@gmail.com
Becca: 801-425-8625 or beccamuir03@yahoo.com
By Sunday night, Oct 26th, you will know which one of us to report scores to. Please let us know your total score for the week in each text/email.  Scores must be reported weekly on Monday by 2pm for the 5 bonus points and at the latest, Wednesday, in order to be recorded.

Scoring
A total of 500 points per week is possible for each member of your team.
An Average of your weekly points at the end of the six (6) weeks, your Total Weight Loss Points (TWLP) and Total Inches Lost Points (TILP) will be added together to create your final score - see below.

Weekly points are earned for the following categories:
Positive Food: See included food lists. One (1) point is earned for each serving of positive food eaten, up to 10 points a day. You can eat more than one serving of the same positive food. Remember - there is plenty of food not listed on either list. It is neutral food. No points earned, no points lost.

Negative Food: See included food lists. Two (2) points are subtracted for every serving of food eaten off the negative food list (over the freebie limit, discussed later). NO MAXIMUM on negative food points!

5+ Fruits & Vegetables: Ten (10) points are earned for eating a combined total of 5 fruits and vegetables. Fruits and veggies count as both a “positive food” AND a “fruit/veggie food.” For example, if you eat a banana, you get one POSITIVE FOOD point and one FRUIT/VEGGIE point. You MUST eat a combination of 5 fruits/veggies to get the points. All or nothing!

Daily Greatness: Five (5) points are earned by doing one thing every day that makes you feel GREAT. You will be free to do anything daily that make you feel great.  (Clean your bathroom, organize a closet, take a nap, floss your teeth, visit a friend, do service, change a habit, spend time with a child, etc. Something that isn’t typically required of your day).

After 8 PM: Five (5) points are earned if you eat NOTHING after 8PM. Eat after 8…put on weight! With busy schedules, keep in mind that you may have one day a week that you eat after 8pm but it CANNOT be your freebie food/negative food.




Water Points: Fifteen (15) points are earned for drinking plenty of water daily. Requirement:
●                   Week   1-2: 64 oz (8 cups)      
●                   Week   3-4: 72 oz (9 cups)
●                   Week   5-6: 80 oz (10 cups)
Exercise: Points are earned as follows:
●                   15-20   min. = 10 points         
●                   20-30   min. = 15 points
●                   31-45   min. = 20 points
●                   46+      min. = GOOD FOR YOU!
20 points MAXIMUM per day. Exercise can be done in segments
You are allowed 2 rest days per week; you may give yourself 20 points for each of those 2 rest days, BUT . . .
If you want to earn extra points, work out for 30 minutes or more on a rest day and you may give yourself 10 bonus points for the week. This means you can earn 30 (20 free + 10 bonus) points by exercising on a rest day (or, the 6th day of exercising). The maximum for exercise points in one week will be 150.

PERSONAL Prayer and Scripture Study: Five (5) points are earned for daily scripture study and prayer (must do both to get points). If you don’t pray, spend a few minutes in quiet meditation or reflection. This could also include reading something uplifting or positive if you do not read/study scriptures.

Free Days       
●       Free Day: 2 free days during the six week session of not keeping track of anything! You can use it for Halloween and Thanksgiving or choose your own days.
●       Freebies:  Everyone will be given 4 free negative food points per week.     This means you can eat 2  servings from the negative list and not have them count against you. You don’t have to eat anything bad if you don’t want to. You may NOT use your freebies after 8:00PM.
●        Free Meal: you are allowed ONE free meal per week during the whole competition (in addition to the free days).  This means, for one meal during the week, you will not have to take negative points for the meal. This includes the meal and beverage of choice. It does not include dessert eaten after the meal. Again, you do not have to eat anything bad if you don’t want to.

Other
Some of you may choose to participate in a fast (going without two meals) once or more during the competition. On the days you will be fasting, you will only need to get 1/3 of your food and water points for that day. So if you are fasting – you would need 21 oz of water (depending on the oz requirement for the week), 2 servings of fruits/veggies, and 3 servings of food from the positive food list.
Also, in our previous challenge, we were faced with individuals who were ill and weren’t able to get the full positive points for those days. If you are sick, you will only need to get 2/3 of your food and water in for the day.  There will be a maximum of 2 days that you will be allowed to take the full points for only meeting 2/3 of the requirements if you are sick.

**Newly Added**
 Extra Credit (30 points)
In an effort to allow you a way to recover points lost during a low point week due to uncontrollable events (birthdays, work parties, lack of will power – okay that one is controllable J, sickness, etc.)  you will be able to earn an added 30 points if you participate in an organized 5K. Remember, you do not have to be a marathon runner to participate. You can walk, run, skip, crawl, or whatever works best for you.  In order to receive points, simply text a picture of yourself to either Becca or myself of you participating. This will be a fun way to encourage all of us to get out and do more.

Other points earned during the session:  Read through carefully J

Total Weight Loss Points (TWLP) – Calculating your TWLP
            Weigh yourself on Day 1. Write it down.
            You don’t have to weigh yourself again until the last day.
            Take your pounds lost and divide them by your starting weight and then Multiply by 1000.
            Pounds lost/ Starting weight x 1000 = TWLP points

            So if Sally weighs 160 and she loses 6 pounds.
             6/160=.0375 x 1000 = 37.5
            Sally’s Total Weight Lost Points = 37.5 points

Total Inches Lost Points (TILP) – Calculating your TWIP
            -Take your measurements on Day 1. Right UPPER ARM, Left UPPER ARM, CHEST, WAIST, HIPS,   BOTTOM, Right THIGH, Left THIGH and WRITE THEM DOWN. :) Add them together.
            - Take your measurements on the last day. Same ones. Total the inches.
            - Take your total from the first day and subtract the total from the last.  Take that number and   divide it by the total from the first day. And then times by 1000.
            Inches lost/ Starting total inches x 1000 

            So if Sally’s totally inches from the first day was 194.5 and the total at the last day was 186.0,     the difference would be 8.5. 
            8.5/ 194.5 = .043 x 1000 = 43
            Sally’s Total Inches Lost Points = 43
Report both your TWLP and your TILP the last day of the session.
If you have any questions on points, please text/email Julieanne or Becca


Prizes
Prizes will be awarded at the end of our program.

50% of the money will go to the individual with the most overall points (weekly points combined with weight loss and inches points). Then 25% will go to the individual with the most weight loss and inches points. The last 25% will then go to the individual who earned the most weekly points only.   

If there is a tie, it will be determined based on who turns in points first.


**The distribution of prize money is subject to change depending on the number of participants. Any changes to the distribution of prize money will be made within the first week of the program.
