Biggest Loser

Rules:

Biggest Loser 2010 will be more than just simple weight loss. Point will be awarded for the amount of time exercising and for calories burned as well. The point values are:

• 1% weight lost/gained = 10 points (gaining weight is negative points)
• 15 minutes of exercise = 1 point
• 1000 calories burned (men) = 1 point
• 1000 calories burned (women) = 2 points

Exercise minutes and calories burned can be entered into the form at any time. If you want to enter minutes and calories every time you exercise, that is fine.
Weight lost/gained however, should be entered each time as your total percentage lost (or gained) from your starting weight. These points will be calculated in your total points, but not in the monthly points. Remember, enter your total lost for the year each time.

How to calculate:

1. Minutes Exercised - total of minutes exercised per week Monday through Sunday.

2. Calories Burned - You may calculate calories burned by what is easier for you. You can use your heart rate monitors, treadmills at the gym, or an online calculator (http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc). But only include calories burned on what you consider "exercise".

3. Percent of Weight Change
Calculate your weight change by using the following formula: = (Jan 4th weight - Current Weight) Divided by Jan 4th weight
