Rules, Regulations, and Recommendations
All Treasure Valley Weight Loss Challenge contestants must be 18 years or older, with no physical or medical restrictions.
Humphreys Diabetes Center and the Weight Loss Challenge recommend the supervision of a medical professional before changing or modifying your diet or exercise plan.
Prize winners will be determined by the percentage of body weight lost (not by number of pounds lost).
Participants must present photo ID at initial and final weigh-ins. They must wear a T-shirt and shorts or capris (pockets empty) without shoes at the initial and final weigh-ins.
Monthly interim weigh-ins are required to maintain eligibility for cash prizes. You must weigh-in during the first two weeks (1st through 14th of month) in February, March, April, and May at the following Boise or Meridian Challenge weigh sites:
- Ladd Family Pharmacy, 1109 S Broadway, Boise, M-F 9-9, Sat 9-6, Sun 11-5
- Humphreys Diabetes Center, in St. Luke's, Meridian – M-F 9-4:30. Closed holidays.
All are welcome to participate in the event, although the following conditions will disqualify a participant from winning cash prizes.
- Weight reduction medical procedures of any type before or during the Weight Loss Challenge. This includes but is not limited to surgical bypass, lap-band, or liposuction procedures.
- A final Body Mass Index that is in the “underweight” range of less than 19 will disqualify a participant. (Example: A person who is 5’ 8” tall and weighs 118 is underweight.) The Challenge promotes weight loss to a healthy Body Mass Index range of 19-25.
- Pregnancy during the Challenge will disqualify a participant from cash prizes.
- Cash prizes cannot be won by employees, agents, directors (or their spouses) of Humphreys Diabetes Center or any of the Challenge sponsors, including Ladd Family Pharmacy, Peak Broadcasting, Idaho Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation, Rocky Mountain Pedometer, Take Shape for Life, Shu's Idaho Running Company, McDonald's, YMCA Wellchieve program.
Prescription and over-the-counter medications for weight loss are permitted under the supervision of a medical doctor.
Five or more participants may form a Challenge Team for mutual support and encouragement. All team members must register and weigh in together at the same time to take advantage of the $45 team member registration rate.
