My Goals Don't Wait for an Arbitrary Date — 6-Week Challenge
Official Rules

Sponsor: Shelley Perry, Plant & Practice (plantandpractice.com).

Dates:

Entries open Sunday, November 8, 2026 and close Friday, November 13, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT.

The challenge runs Monday, November 16 to Sunday, December 27, 2026. Judging takes place December 28–31, 2026.

The winner will be announced January 1, 2027 on Facebook.

Who can enter:

Women 18 or older, living in the United States. Current 1:1 coaching clients of Plant & Practice may not enter. You need the MyFitnessPal app on your phone — it is free, download it yourself. Once you are chosen, you will get an invitation to Trainerize, which is free for you to use. You do not have to be plant-based to enter. Exploring plant-based proteins is encouraged, and you will get a list of the 20 highest-protein plant-based foods. No purchase is necessary to enter or win. Void where prohibited.

How to enter:

Comment GOALS on the challenge announcement post on Facebook and complete the application linked in the Messenger reply, including the health questions. Applications must be submitted by the closing time above. Ten spots are available in 2026. If more than ten complete applications are received, the first ten complete applications get in by submission time. Applications after the first ten go on a waitlist, in submission-time order. If a spot opens before the challenge starts on November 16, the next person on the waitlist gets it. Once the challenge starts, no replacements are made.

What you get:

A six-week plan built on the Plant & Practice 6 Steps to Fitness, macronutrient guidance, a weekly check-in via the Trainerize app, plus a group chat in Trainerize with the other participants. Food logs are kept in MyFitnessPal.

The check-in rules:

A check-in in Trainerize is due every Sunday night by 11:59 PM PT: November 22, November 29, December 6, December 13, December 20, and December 27. Miss a check-in and you are out of the running for the prize. You can keep following the plan, but you cannot win.

How the winner is picked:

Points, decided in advance. Three things count, 30 points maximum.

Weekly rhythm, 12 points. Two points each week: one for a check-in submitted on time, one for a food log kept in MyFitnessPal that week.

Doing the work, 12 points. Your Trainerize percentages over the six weeks, workouts and nutrition scored separately. Each one: 90% or higher is 3 points, 75–89% is 2, 50–74% is 1, under 50% is 0. That is 6 points. Plus bonus cardio: each 20-minute cardio session you complete earns 0.5 points, up to two a week. That is 6 points. Bonus cardio is scored separately from your Trainerize workout percentage and is reported in your weekly check-in.

The highest total wins. If two or more finishers tie, the coach decides. The coach's decision is final.

Photos are not required, are not scored, and will not be shared without your written permission.

The prize:

Twelve weeks of 1:1 online coaching with Shelley Perry, beginning the week of January 4, 2027. Value $855. The twelve weeks are built around the winner — her goals, her schedule, her food, her equipment — not the general challenge plan. The prize is not transferable and has no cash alternative. The winner must be able to start that week and keep the weekly check-in and food-logging rhythm. If the winner cannot start, or misses the first two check-ins of the prize period, the prize goes to the runner-up.

At the end of the six weeks, participants may choose to continue with 1:1 coaching at the standard rates. Continuing is optional and is not a condition of entering or winning.

If fewer than five complete applications are received by the closing time, the sponsor may postpone the challenge and will notify all applicants.

Application information is used only for running the challenge and for the January coaching offer. It is not shared or sold.

Health and safety:

This challenge is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Talk to your clinician before changing your training, nutrition, or supplements, especially if you have a medical condition or take medication. Do not start if your clinician has told you not to exercise. Results vary. Nothing here promises a specific outcome.
