Check out the FAQs. Make new friends, shed some extra pounds, and at the end of 12 weeks, embrace a healthier you.

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 Brian and Mike on January 11, 2012 at 6:50am: Hey All- We are working on the locations in the areas that have enough of sign-ups. It's hard to work out the times right now but that'll come close to the dates. Again, if you really want your county to be included you should sign up now. Also, you can change the county you are competing in up until the initial weigh-in.

Comment by Ashley on January 9, 2012 at 10:48pm: Any possible locations? So we at least have an idea.

Comment by Kate on January 9, 2012 at 7:05pm: Implementing Kristine's idea would be helpful. As someone who doesn't have a car and can't just drive to a weigh-in, knowing that the location is somewhere I can actually get to would encourage me to sign up to compete, as opposed to having to sign up as a sideliner simply because I'm unsure I can get there.

Comment by Kristine on January 9, 2012 at 5:07pm: Oh, I get that... but, the weigh in locations still affect my choice. Is there a way to pick places but state that it's contingent on 10+ signing up?

Comment by Brian and Mike on January 9, 2012 at 5:00pm: Hey Kristine - You should sign up based on where you want most of your prizes to be from. The prize package will be county based.

Comment by Kristine on January 9, 2012 at 4:58pm: I have 3 different counties I can do but depending on the town affects the county I choose... Can we please get towns posted?

Comment by Brian and Mike on January 9, 2012 at 4:54pm: There are no locations yet. And remember, for the weigh-in you'll just drive there, hit the scale (weights are kept private), then you'll go home.

Comment by Gael Burman on January 9, 2012 at 4:53pm: Is there a location in Bergen yet?

Comment by Brian and Mike on January 9, 2012 at 4:46pm: Just a warning, we need 10 people of one gender to sign-up in a county before we'll find the locations. If everyone sits back waiting on the locations your county may get skipped.
