Call for points!

It is time to turn in your points for January! I hope all of you had a great month, and are excited to turn in your points. You will have until Friday to turn them in (leave a comment on the blog, or e-mail me) and we will announce winners and prizes on Saturday.
I am going to turn my points in to all of you as an example. I don't think my points totals can be any more embarrassing, but maybe that will make you guys feel good! :)

Dietary: 134 pts
Spiritual: 65 pts
Emotional: 101 pts (at least I am emotionally healthy!)
Physical: 11 pts (I know, it's really bad!)

Weight loss Bonus: 2 pts (for gaining an acceptable amount)
Goal Bonus: 4 pts (I didn't quite make it, but I did pretty good)

Total Points: 317 pts

I would like you to turn in your points with that format for now. We're still not sure exactly how we are going to award prizes yet...

ALSO! I think the consensus on making weight loss fair (from the 2 or 3 of you who actually responded) was that we should divide weight lost by weight desired to be lost for a percentage... to make it a little more fair. If you need help figuring it out, let me know. :) Here is an example:

If I want to lose 35 lbs, and I lost 13, I find my percentage of weight lost by dividing 13 by 35: .37142... so that gives you 37.14% (That would be really great, by the way.)

So, I want to lose about 60 lbs, and I gained 4, so my percentage of weight lost is negative 6.67%. Just kidding. ;)

If you have any questions, just let me know!

Hmmm... January was a lost month for me. Not sure if February will be any better as I haven't started yet. But I'm excited to see who wins! :)
