23 Daily Play View (and how to enter a score)

24 Entering Your Daily Score

25 Reviewing Your Daily Score Entry

26 Entering Your Score & Mulligans Enter Your Score EACH Day: anytime between 8 p.m. and midnight of the following night (you have 28 hours to enter your score). If you fail to enter your score by midnight the following night, your score automatically will be recorded as a 0. Mulligans: If you forget to record your score within the time limit, you can enter your missed score by using a mulligan. The number of mulligans you get depends on the level you choose: Performance - 1 mulligan Lifestyle - 2 mulligans Kick Start - 3 mulligans If you miss a day, and you have mulligans remaining, you will be asked if you want to use a mulligan to reopen scoring for that day. You do not have to use it on any particular day.

27 BONUS POINTS! Indulgence Tokens: Earn two indulgence tokens by losing three or fewer nutrition points in any consecutive 7-day period. That means you will need to earn 32 out of 35 nutrition points in the 7-day period to earn the indulgence tokens. Each indulgence token is worth 1 food point and will be applied automatically to your nutrition score if you enter fewer than 5 points for nutrition in your daily score. Indulgence tokens cannot be applied retroactively. Rest Day Tokens: Earn one token by exercising for 10 consecutive days. This token will be automatically applied to your exercise score when you enter a no in Exercise in your daily score. Rest day tokens cannot be applied retroactively. Free Day Tokens: Earn one free day token by losing no more than 3 points over a 21-day span. Use of other bonus tokens will not harm your ability to earn the Free Day token. This means you can lose more than 3 points in the nutrition and exercise categories over the streak period, but you must already have available bonus tokens to immediately make up for the losses. The Free Day token is elective. It will never automatically be applied. You can choose to use this token at any time once you earn it by clicking on it rather than entering your score. This token will be applied to all categories, giving you a perfect score, including your reflection, for the day.
