How much does it cost? Membership for the Live It Up Challenge is totally free. Our goal is to help our friends and neighbors in the community to reach your goals.

How do I create a group or join a group? Achieving health goals is much easier if you have a support group of friends. To create a competition group just click on the "GROUPS" tab in the middle navigation. Then you can either create a “Private” group or a “Public” group and invite your friends and family to join. To join an existing group, under the “GROUPS JOINED” heading, click either the link to “join a public” group or “join a private” group. (Note: you will need a password to join a private group, provided by the group’s creator.)

Privacy

Is my weight private? YES! ALWAYS! Unless you choose to show your weight, your weight will always be kept private. To make sure your weight is selected to be hidden click on your "My Account" page. At the top of the page, make sure the check box that indicates that you would like to keep your information private is selected. This box is checked by default. If you would like to show your weight, then you will need to select the "My weight is public" button. Your public information, and the competitions that you are in only show your change in weight.

Can I make my profile private? Yes. Your profile can be totally private, where only your friends can view your progress. To make your profile private select the "Only my friends can see my profile" button on your "My Account" page.

Competitions

How do I invite more people into the challenge? There is an invite link within your group where you can send additional invites to your friends, family or co-workers.

No one has responded to my invitation letter, what should I do? Live It Up sends invites immediately. If your friends or competitors haven’t received the invitation then chances are that their invitation is going into their junk email folder. Try calling or sending them an email to make them aware of your invitation.

I messed up, can I change things in my challenge? You bet! If you are the competition creator then a little (EDIT) link appears next to the Competition details section of your competition. Click that link to change the title, dates, and other details of your competition.

How long should the competition be? A competition can be as short, or as long as you want. However a longer competition allows the development of healthy habits, and eliminates those dieters who can lose a lot of weight fast. Make it long enough so the winner deserves the reward they get. A typical length is between 3 and 6 months.

After my competition is completed, how long can I view it? Past competitions remain on your profile for as long as you are a member of Live It Up.

Other

Can I change my Password? Yes. Click on the "My Account" link in the middle navigation of the website. You will see a place to set a new password. If you have forgotten your password you will need to click on the Forgot Password link on the Sign In page. A link will be sent to your email address that will allow you to change your password.

Can I cancel my account? Yes. While we hate to see you go, you can permanently close your account from Live It Up by clicking on the "My Account" of the website.
