Who Can Participate:
This challenge is open to ANYONE 21 to 39 years old, however only members will have access to the resources on NJYP.org.

What are the Prizes:
There will be a prize packages for men and women challengers in each participating county.
The prize package value will be based on this formula: "$25 x # of same gender participants within the county" so if 50 men sign up in Essex County the prize package will be valued at $1,250.
We will be putting the prize packages together while the competition is going on, but picture everything from restaurant gift cards, spa services, kettle ball classes, fancy new sneakers, etc.
Prize packages will be county based so you will not have to travel far to redeem your gift cards/certificates.

Become a Player:
A “Player” wants access to the support and to compete for prizes. For $25, you get:
•   To compete for the prize packages;
•   Win random "door prizes", provided to those we see who are working extra hard;
•   Access to 3 Weigh-ins - first and last are mandatory: 1/22/12, 3/4/12, and 4/15/12;

Become a Sideliner:
Becoming a “Sideliner” is perfect for anyone who is looking for weight-loss support without the competition, but they cannot win prizes. For only $10 - that’s less than two value meals at McDonald’s, and a lot better for you too - you get:

Comment by Faith on January 18, 2012 at 4:22pm: Has the weigh in location and time for Bergen County been determined yet? I haven't found the information.

Comment by Brian and Mike on January 18, 2012 at 2:05pm: Different times in each county.

Comment by Maggie on January 18, 2012 at 1:50pm: Will all of the weigh ins on Sunday end at 3 or will there be different time options in different counties?

Comment by Shakira on January 18, 2012 at 9:40am: OK I'm in.....not looking forward to getting on the scale though:/

Comment by Brian and Mike on January 16, 2012 at 6:53pm: Hey Lauren- We certainly thought of it but decided it's important to use the same scale for everyone for all 3 weigh-ins. With the new "no questions asked" refund policy this should really work out.

Comment by Lauren on January 16, 2012 at 4:18pm: I have an idea... for those people who cannot make weigh-ins locations/dates but still want to compete... any way to have a form to fill out that can be signed by a witness... or have someone weigh you at the gym and have your weight sent in on gym letter head? Might expand the number of people who can participate.

Comment by Brian and Mike on January 14, 2012 at 6:14pm: To all of you on the fence. I just made a change you will LOVE. If you sign up and you do not like the locations/times or for ANY other reason you can get a refund without fees, no questions asked.

Comment by Brian and Mike on January 13, 2012 at 9:47am: We're going to do the weigh-ins at venues, hopefully gyms :)

Comment by Brian on January 13, 2012 at 9:41am: Holy cow, I actually signed up for this thing.

Are you anticipating the weigh-ins being at a volunteers house or at some type of venue?

Comment by Brian and Mike on January 11, 2012 at 6:51am: Melissa- Some events will have charges and some will not, it will all depend on the event. I'll do my best to negotiate group rates when we are working with venues that need to be paid.
