I missed the Mg.Social challenge but came up with a goal based feature that I think could have some promise and decided to make a Coil post about it.

Coil has such an amazing community behind it which can be seen in Coil, Cinnamon, gFam, Mg.Social and also on Twitter through the sharing of posts, positive feedback and support.

One thing that has been proven is the benefit of community and groups in weight loss and achieving weight loss goals.

I thought we could implement a system that really uses XRP Tipping to create incentive, encouragement and accountability. All secret ingredients for successful weight loss.

The challenge starts with a User’s declaration. I will lose 10kg by 1st of September. The declaration has a 1 week supporting round where people then contribute towards the User’s goal. The tips are then collected and then will be distributed at different milestones in the weight loss challenge.

After the supporting round the User then begins their challenge and shares the progress in the Coil ecosystem. Blogging their weight loss journey on Coil, submitting their daily gFam selfie on how shit or great they feel. The community offers words of support and encouragement on Mg.Social. The User posts the video of their 20k sunset cycle on Cinnamon. The weigh-in is also submitted as record on one, or all of these platforms.

The community can continue to support the challenge through tips and select designated milestones which the User will receive them. Eg Right now, at 50% or at the very end of the challenge.

Like in The Hunger Games, the Coil community can be there to help the User succeed. AussieNinja blogs that he strained his hip flexors. I give him 50XRP towards Tigerbalm to help him get back on track.

At the end of the challenge the User either succeeds or fails.

If they succeed then the User gets the remaining pot ! Congratulations you are amazing. Srdan will buy you a beer in XRP!

If they fail then Patty B will give you a hug and the remaining uncollected tips will either go towards a communal “unsuccessful weight loss pot” which will then be re-distributed towards other User’s challenges, or if defined in the declaration, it can go towards an unfavourable cause. Eg If I don’t loose 10kg by 1st September then all remaining tips will go towards organisations in favour of illegal fox hunting.

**Incentive
**

I want to loose weight. If I do I will live a healthier life and receive an XRP treasure chest at the end. If I don’t more foxes will be ripped apart by the hounds.

**Encouragement
**

The coil community giving likes, upvotes, tips to help you achieve your goals.

**Accountability
**

I have said I will do this publicly. People have shown their support for me and I don’t want to let them down.

**End result
**

Less cushion for the pushin’
