CHALLENGE TEAMS:
Challenge Teams are user-oriented groups that work together in reaching
their weight-loss goals. As a member of The 50 Million Pound Challenge, you can
sign up to join an existing team that interests you, or start a new team with
your friends, family, church members or anyone else you know who wants to lead a
healthier lifestyle.
Team members can view team progress totals and averages, as well as
compete against other teams to stay motivated in the fight to lose weight.
TEAM CATEGORIES:
Challenge Teams are grouped into categories such as churches, families and
companies to help members find them more easily and to help teams compete. The
"Other" category can be used for teams that don't fit into one of the main
categories. You can also use the Team Categories to find teams to compete with
offline if your team is interested in a little friendly competition.
FINDING A TEAM:
To find a team, visit the Teams page to browse through the list or sort by category. You can also search for teams by using the search box at left.
JOINING A TEAM:
When you find a team you’d like to join, click the "Join Now" button. You'll be directed to a page where you'll confirm the team you want to join and complete a few questions. Once you join, you'll receive a welcome email with information about your new team. Go to the Teams page to get started. To learn more about joining Open or Invite-Only Teams, see below.
STARTING A TEAM/BEING A TEAM LEADER:
To start a Challenge Team, go to the Start a Team page. You'll complete some information about your team, such as Team Name, Category and Description. Once your new team has been confirmed, you'll receive an email notification and you can start inviting your friends to join your team.
When you start a team, you automatically become a Challenge Team Leader. Your job is to update the Team Profile as necessary, invite new members, and keep your team informed about any news or changes.
OPEN OR INVITE-ONLY TEAMS:
An Open Team is just that, open to anyone to join without an invitation. However, to join an Invite-Only Team, you must receive an invitation via email from the team’s leader. Invite-Only teams also have the option of allowing users to request an invite; in that case, the Team Leader is notified that a user would like to join that team, and can extend an invitation if they choose.
