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;
•   Invites to special events, from workouts to workshops to meet and greets;
•   Complimentary entry to our "End of the Better Body Challenge Bash";
•   Access to private Better Body Challenge NJYP message boards (receive tips and support, find workout partners, etc.)

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;
•   Access to all 3 Weigh-ins, but they’re all optional: 1/22/12, 3/4/12, and 4/15/12;
•   Complimentary entry to our "End of the Better Body Challenge Bash";
•   Access to private Better Body Challenge NJYP message boards (receive tips and support, find workout partners, etc.)

Weigh-ins:
There will be a weigh-in in each participating county.
You will sign-up to receive the prizes in only one county BUT you can attend a weigh-in in ANY county you wish.
Exact locations and times are TBD. This contest is open to the following counties: Morris, Middlesex, Essex, Somerset, Mercer, Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, Union, and Monmouth.

Comment by Kate on January 9, 2012 at 3:10pm: When will weigh-in locations be announced? That's going to affect whether I sign up as a player or a sideliner.

Comment by Kristan on January 8, 2012 at 1:56pm: Hopefully by April my "weigh in" pants will be too big. That should be interesting.

Comment by Gina on January 8, 2012 at 10:54am: Just signed up as a sideliner (I can't attend the last weigh in)! I can't wait to finally start attending NJYP events and these events sound like they will be great!

Comment by Brian and Mike on January 3, 2012 at 7:11pm: Yes, 1.21.12 is the cut-off to be a player.

Comment by Shakira on January 3, 2012 at 6:30pm: Laura, what is the cut off date for registration? I assume before 1/22???

Comment by Danielle on December 31, 2011 at 12:01am: I registered this morning. Fingers crossed for weigh in locations and events to be near Middletown/Red Bank :)

Comment by Caroline on December 30, 2011 at 5:51pm: I am super excited about this! A little competition to keep us all motivated!

Comment by Cori on December 30, 2011 at 4:36pm: What if we are away on jan 22nd!? :)

Comment by John on December 30, 2011 at 2:44pm: Time to start bulking before the first weight in :)

Comment by Brian and Mike on December 30, 2011 at 9:53am: Thanks Rebecca! We know some just want to be healthier and not necessarily lose a lot of weight so via the Sideliner they can still get all the support.
