If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.

Lets Change the World Challenge

The holidays are just around the bend. There are many people in need at this time of the year and it is the season of giving.

In the spirit of the holidays, we bring you the Lets Change the World Challenge

Some of us find it hard to reward ourselves, constantly putting it off and therefore not getting something tangible as a sign of our accomplishments with our weight-loss (or maintenance). The idea behind this challenge is to do something positive for *others* as we do something positive for ourselves. So this time, for our successes, we reward those in need as well as ourselves with a feeling of accomplishment, and a feeling of having done something really wonderful for someone else.

Take some time before the challenge starts and put two boxes somewhere in your home, empty. Mark one: Food and the other Household.

Each day, you will have the ability to earn points for various activities...

POINTS YOU CAN EARN EVERY DAY:

64 ounces of water or better: 1pt
Staying On (your) Program: 1pt
Minimum 3 servings of fruit and/or veggies: 1pt
Minimum 2 servings of dairy: 1pt
Exercise (minimum 30 minutes of activity): 1pt
Streaking 5 days or better: 1pt
Daily Possible: 6 points

WEEKLY BONUS POINTS EVENTS

Every week, I will post a Bonus Code Events where for that week only you can earn an additional 5 points every day for completing that weeks challenge!

LEVELS:
For each level you will earn a special avatar to put in your signature line or as your forum avatar:

As you meet each level, put the amount of items in your boxes that that level calls for. Food items are anything non perishable that can be donated to the food bank, and Household would be any clothing, books, toys, dishes, appliances, etc that could be donated to a Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc.

Towards the higher levels you will have an opportunity to make a small donation to an organization of your choice. If you cant do $5, do $3. Please feel free to start threads to discuss the organization you will be supporting.

You will track these points in your own thread. As your total points rise, you will meet various levels. As you hit each level, add the items to your box or make the donation. Most organizations will accept *any* dollar amount. If you cant give $5 (when youre at that level), give $4, etc. Its whats in your heart that matters!
