PHASE II: May 1 - August 6, 2005

IMPORTANT! If you did not participate in Phase I (8 weeks) of Kauai's Great Weigh Out, you will need to complete a health screening prior to registering for Phase II. Please follow this link and follow the instructions before proceeding.

Kauai's Great Weigh Out Phase II is the next step of KGWO and is FREE. It is a 14 week health and fitness challenge that will help keep you excited about the new lifestyles you adopted in Phase I of this program. Here's how it works:

1. You may participate on an individual basis or on a team of two - five people. Download your registration form, questionnaire and activities calendar here. Teams points (Fit Bucks) will be averaged, meaning that team member points will be added together and divided equally to get the team total. See example below. Pick whichever way works best for you.

Team Participation Benefits:

  • Team Support
  • Accountability to a team

Individual Participation Benefits:

  • Independence
  • Personal Accountability

Example of team points being averaged: This team's fit buck totals at the end of week one is 18. This means everyone on this team will earn 18 Fit Bucks for the week and this will also be the team total.

2. You will be given a log sheet for each week of the program to record your fruits and veggies as well as your activity time. Scoring will be exactly as you earned fit bucks during KGWO Phase I.

  • Eating 5 - 8 fruits and veggies daily = 1 Fit Buck
  • Eating 9+ fruits and veggies daily = 2 Fit Bucks
  • Exercise for 30 qa 59 minutes daily = 1 Fit Buck
  • Exercise 60 + minutes = 2 Fit Bucks
  • The maximum number of fit bucks a person can accumulate on their log sheets daily is 4.

3. Extra Fit Bucks can be earned by attending special Fit Buck activities that include hikes, walks and educational events. Attendance for special events will be taken by an event leader. DO NOT include these activities on your log sheet. Please see list of activities for further details.

4. Log sheets are available at:

5. Weekly log sheets must be submitted to Bev or Anna by fax (246-9551), or in person on or before Tuesdays at noon. The first log sheet of Phase II is due on or before Tuesday, May 10th. Log sheets received after the deadline will not be accepted. Weeks begin on Monday and end on Sunday.

6. Incentives will be earned by the amount of fit bucks accumulated and prizes will be distributed at the Healthy Family Picnic on Saturday, August 13th.
