Princeton Club Biggest Loser Rules and Guidelines
|
|
|
| 1. |
You must weigh in once a week. All participants in a group will weigh in with their trainer. Those who do not have a trainer will weigh in with the contest director for their specific club(see below). Contact him to schedule a weekly day and time. The final weigh-in will be April 21st; everyone must do their final weigh in that day between 8 am – 1 pm with a trainer. You must schedule a time with a contest director prior to that day. |
|
| 2. |
For beginning and final weigh-ins wear workout clothes (t-shirt, shorts or workout pants, and socks). Shoes will be taken off and there must be nothing in your pockets at initial or ending weigh in. |
|
| 3. |
You must check into the club at least 3 times per week every week within the dates of the contest. This means 3 separate days; 2 check-ins in one day does not count. |
|
| 4. |
You must fill out and complete a weekly food journal. Food journals will be tracked through www.sparkpeople.com. For those working with a trainer, you will give it to your trainer every week at your training session. For those not working with a trainer, you must drop it off to the Front Desk by Tuesday of each week. If you do not have Internet access to do sparkpeople, please let us know. |
|
| 5. |
Challenges: Challenges will be optional and given on a weekly/biweekly basis. The person that wins the challenge will automatically get an additional 1 pound deduction from their final weigh in. There will be a second winner randomly chosen from everyone who participates in the challenge who will also get an extra 1 pound off final weigh in. Other challenges may be given as well. |
|
| 6. |
Vacations: If you go on vacation for 4 or more days in a week, you can get a "bye" that week for check-ins but you must provide proof of vacation. You still have to do your food journal and hand it in. If you are gone longer than 7 days, you will need to fax, e-mail, or call your contest director with a weigh in done on your own that week and hand in your food journal when you return. You must contact your contest director before the vacation, or it will not be accepted.
* You may not miss the final weigh in. |
|
| 7. |
Princeton Club strongly advises all contestants to lose weight safely following healthy eating and exercise habits. There are many resources at the club to assist you with losing weight in a healthy manner. We strongly discourage skipping meals, starving yourself before weigh-ins, or excessive exercising that is unsafe. The contest is meant as a motivational tool to help members lose small amounts of weight over an extended time. If you need help or suggestions on losing weight, please see any one of our Personal Trainers. |
|
| 8. |
If you do not lose any weight for 2 consecutive weeks, a trainer will contact you to review your current workout plan and nutrition. |
|
| 9. |
The winner will be determined by the top male and top female who loses the largest % of body weight. If there is a tie, the winner will be determined by who lost the most actual pounds. To qualify for top prize, all requirements of the contest must be met with no exception. |
|
| 10. |
All rules are enforced with all participants with no exceptions. It is the participant's responsibility to read and understand the rules. This is to make the contest as fair as possible for all entrants. |
|
| 11. |
Be sure your contest director has your email address. If you do not receive an e-mail from him within the first week, please contact him. An update e-mail will be sent out every week. |
