Teams compete to see who can lose the most weight. Scoring will be based on the percent of body weight lost. Weekly weigh-ins are required for each participant and will happen every Monday between 8 a.m.-11 a.m. In order to participate a joining fee of $10.00 is required. In addition, there will be a $1 weigh-in fee per week applied to all contestants. If you miss a weigh-in, there will be an additional $1 fee. If you gain weight or stay at the same weight you will receive a $1 penalty fee. The team that loses the least amount of weight in (total %) for that week will have to pay a penalty fee of $1 per team member at the next weigh in. The money collected over the course of the challenge is placed into a total pot, which the participants are aiming to win.

The person that loses the most weight overall wins 45 percent of the total pot, the team that loses the most in weigh-in overall splits 45 percent equally amongst all team members. The last 10 percent will be donated to Southern Adventist University Worthy Student Fund.
