How to Earn Points

There will be 8 different categories where you will get points in each day.

1) Positive Food Point
(See positive and negative food list on the right of this blog)
a. Earn 1 point per day that you eat a minimum of 10 servings from the positive food list.
*Every week you have 2 "freebies". These are a single serving of the negative foods that will not count against you.

b. Subtract 1 point for every serving of food eaten off the negative food list (over the 2 freebie limit.)

c. Optional Monthly fast: I know in previous challenges it has been difficult to eat all 10 positive foods when participating in a monthly fast. This round you can still receive full points for the day if you have at least one serving of fiber, protein, fruit, and vegetable by the end of that day.

2) Exercise Point
a. 1 point for 25-40 minutes of exercise
2 point for 40+ minutes of exercise

5 days maximum a week for a total of 10 points each week


3)After 8 PM Point

Earn 1 point every day that you eat NOTHING after 8 pm.

4) Water Point

Earn 1 point each day that you drink 64oz of water. Water only. No other drinks including flavored water count towards the 64 ounces.

a. Optional Monthly fast: I know it is hard to get all your water in when you are fasting. This round you can still receive full points for the day if you have at least 50 ounces of water by the end of the day.

5) Fruit and Vegetable Point

Earn 1 point each day that you eat a total of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables.

6) Personal Prayer

Earn 1 point each day that you say your morning and nightly prayers.

7) Scripture Point

Earn 1 point each day that you read scriptures, Ensign or other uplifting literature

8) No Seconds

Earn 1 point each day that you don't go back for seconds on your meals. Serve yourself a sensible portion and then be done!

**There is also going to be an extra way to earn points! You can earn Family Night Points. You get 3 points each week for holding a weekly Family Night with a spiritual/motivational thought, activity, (and treat! There will be no negative points or use of a freebie for ONE Family Night treat) If you're on your own, this can be a night where you work on boosting your spirituality or bonding with your family -something above and beyond your normal routine.


There will also be points awarded for weight loss or maintaining your weight each week. Weigh in every Monday morning and give yourself 2 points for weight loss/maintaining *if you gain weight, don't minus points, but when you lose again, go from where you were before you gained. NO DOUBLE DIPPING on weight points.
