    For the Roadblock#2 and the Accountability Challenge, can partial points be scored, or is it all or nothing? For instance, I don't like Greek food, but I do like grapes. If I eat grapes one day, can I score two points or does it have to be the complete five for ten points?

    yes absolutely. I will count spinach too. since they use that alot too.

    Since you are giving partial points should we put a y and how many days we did the road block on the spread sheet?

    Is it just individual foods or do Greek recipes count?

    Okay, I'm going to give all roadblocks a go. I love Greek food (essentially lamb and tzatziki), so I think that part should be easy.

    I'm guessing practicing the dance routine does count to the miles too?

    This sounds great and the amount of mintutes for exercise sounds achievable. How and where do we record out exercise and our roadblocks and eating challenges? Sorry first time, and there is sooo much going on I've got myself a little confused.

    There is a spreadsheet . It's the same link as our weighin look for a tab at the bottom with your team number. You just need to add your exercise for each date and at wand of week mark y or n if you did each roadblock ect

    Thank you - I have now found this and added my name and things. Thanks for your help. x

    Just want to check. On roadblock 2. It's 5 different foods on 5 different days or can some of the foods be repeated. For example 5 days of Greek yogurt
    I think I have 5 different foods but wanted to ask in case I needed to repeat one to complete the challenge

    Good question ... I was thinking the same thing. Someone previously asked if partial credit was given and that answer was yes for that.

    I was wondering if the 5 foods had to be from the list originally suggested and then spinah and greek yogurt were added on .... or if any Greek food was acceptable ... like Spanakopeta, Moussaka, Rosemary Garlic Fish, Greek Salad, and Greek Hummus (I found a recipe for Greek Hummus but it did say that chickpees in the traditional cuisine were mostly eaten as soup instead of Hummus, which derives from Cyprus and the Middle East).

    It does not have to be different foods. I aM pretty lenient so if it's Greek oriented it counts.

    I don't use the first one either. It isn't too bad until there is tricky foot work and the graphics become even harder to follow.

    Who knows maybe on one of the challenges? You never know what you will see. If anyone ever has a suggestion just send it to me. I try to make it fun while we are conquering the beast.

    I have a question about the accountability challenge.
    it says:
    (Make sure you friended all your team and give one a word of encouragement on the status 5 days this week. You must post to your thread as well five days this week. 2 points for each day).

    Do we give our encouragement on each one of our teammates page or do we post on our teams group thread?

    I was wondering this too and didn't see if it was answered. I am thinking our teams group thread but would like to know for sure.

    To answer above. You need to do one roadblock which is basically a fun challenge and they are listed above . You have a choice of doing extra credit for your team which is the nutritional: dump the sugar and or accountability challenge. There is this week only an arm challenge for bonus points as well. I posted about the squat challenge because a lot are doing it and I want you to make sure you are logging all your time.
    At the end of week/ Sunday you will log whether you completed them or not on the spreadsheet . They are not mandatory but you won't get the points for them either and later every point will count .
    READ THE SEPARATE POSTS for clarity.

    Just love that idea. Brilliant. Lots of extra minute credits for repeats
