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:
•   Invites to special events, from workouts to workshops to meet and greets;

Comment by Shakira on January 19, 2012 at 10:56pm: Thanks Holly! I'll wait until tomorrow to make my decision. I see what you are saying but I'm on the fence:/ The problem with finding other people to work out with is it's cold and we all probably belong to different gyms.. It's just a little too complicated..

Comment by Holly on January 19, 2012 at 10:10pm: Hi Everyone, I'm Holly (Laura mentioned my name below). I'll be at all of the weigh-ins, then watching the Giants beat up on the Niners : )

Shakira - I definitely understand why you'd be disappointed. Not all of the prizes are county based, and the weigh-ins are really two days (a few hours) over the three months. Perhaps there are other people in the same 'predicament' with whom you could workout in your county, or would be willing to carpool to the weigh-ins and/or events in the surrounding area(s). Just a thought, I know the commute is easier for some, but not for others.

Comment by Danielle on January 19, 2012 at 4:30pm: It says if you're not listed, check back tomorrow ;)

Comment by Catalina on January 19, 2012 at 4:27pm: I see Union is not represented. Should I switch over to the county closest to me?

Comment by Shakira on January 19, 2012 at 3:59pm: Is this ALL of the locations or is it possible that another county will appear tomorrow. Disappointed as Somerset County is not on the list and that may affect whether or not I still want to do this OR want a refund:/
