**** Extras to the RULES

Some people have questions on the rules.....here are some EXTRAS for you to review...

*** This challenge is based on an HONOR CODE. The only person that can keep track of your points is YOU. The only person that will know the truth of the points you are posting, is you. So, please remember that we are all doing this for fun, and even though there is a slight motivation (i.e. prize money) at the end, we are all basing this on the honesty of the players. ;)

*** We know that we are starting this during a lot of people's "vacation time" and just so you know going into it........vacation does not mean free days. What you eat or do not eat or do not do on vacation is up to you. If you are planning for it, you know that you will probably be behind some points during that time. Just make up for it the rest of the weeks!

*** When you are thinking about your food consumption....a handful of potato chips or a handful of M&Ms, just because it isn't a full portion, does NOT mean you get to keep the point. The whole CHALLENGE behind this is that you avoid ALL temptations in those categories. You cannot earn half points or extra points. If you partake, you lose that point.

*** There are 2 sick days alloted for the 12 week period. If you are too sick to get up and out of bed to do this challenge you can use a sick day. There are only TWO days for sickness, and must be used ONLY for sickness.

*** It is sometimes easier for people to have a free DAY, giving themselves freedom from the ENTIRE list on that one day per week so that you don't have to think about it the rest of the week. But, if you have a soda on Monday, you do not get to use a point from a different category to have another soda. You get 12 FREE points per WEEK. One point PER category. If you have a second soda, you are down another point. There is a total allowance of 84 points per week. You do not get extra points if you do not use your FREE points. They are free and are not added back into the total.
So, a PERFECT week would be 84 points total.

GOOD LUCK! This is a fun, but sometimes difficult challenge that is a great all around experience. For those of us looking to shed some unwanted pounds, this will definitely be a great way to get going. But, the purpose behind this challenge is not strictly for weight. We are simply working on what President Hinckley has repeatedly asked of his saints.............

"TRY A LITTLE HARDER TO BE A LITTLE BETTER"
