We meet once each week and share a fitness or wellness thought. At the end of the goal period we look at how our weight has fluctuated and earn one point for each pound we’ve lost. We get 1/2 a point for each meeting we attend. Each week we come up with a challenge and whoever completes the challenge gets a point. This week it was to do 2 forms of exercise we’ve never done before. Once it was to drink 64 oz of water each day. One was to not eat after 8pm at least 5 of 7 nights. We make them up as we go. Each of us gets 2 points for any organized fitness event we complete like a race or walkathon. That’s about it. We have other rules, like if you don’t come to 4 meetings in a row without good reason you’re out and we have an email group where we mail back and forth throughout the week. It’s really been wonderful. The group started out small but as people have heard about it, it’s grown and grown.

Best wishes in earning the rest of your points! You go, girl!

Seriously. Keep up the work. Having an accountability group is pure genius.
