1. Create a free personal profile on the My Fitness Pal website. This is what you'll use to enter in your goals, weight, measurements, calories consumed, calories burned, etc. If you already have a profile, zero it out by deleting the past weight measurements. Go to the Apps page and get the code for your badge (second row down all the way to the left).
2. Email me (heidibrose at gmail dot com) your name, badge code, and what you want in your little bio on the right side bar. I'd love to see what your favorite workout is, what your favorite healthy snack is, and what your reward will be when you succeed. Also let me know if you want your email address added to the blog so that whenever another challenger posts, it goes straight into your email inbox (I suggest this b/c it keeps the challenge at the forefront of your mind).
3. On the morning of Monday, February 4th, log into your My Fitness Pal profile and enter your starting weight and all the starting measurements you want to. Start tracking calories & workouts. Check in Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to the blog here to let us know how it's going, what you're up to, share your successes & encouragement, etc. I'll ask for specific things in the posts for you to add your comment on or to check-in on (weigh-ins/check-ins will be on Mondays, recipe-sharing on Wednesdays, etc.).
4. Weights will be private (unless you want to share) b/c we'll just be reporting how much weight and how many inches we drop; no one will know the starting #s. No references to last names, no links to your private blogs, no photos, etc.
Can’t wait for everyone to get started! You all are going to do great!
