    @ka97 and @Kres567 since there's only one spot left and the challenge runs for 2 weeks, do you both want to split it and each do one week?

    That sounds good. @ka97 - since I might be traveling this week. Do you want to bat this week and I will bat next week?

    I really don't know much about baseball and reading about the scoring hurt my head. If you tell me what to do I will do it. Otherwise, I will cheer you on from the sidelines *Doing the wave!* B)

    @TeresaW1020 the description makes it sound more complicated.

    Basically if each player on the team does a minimum of 7,500 steps or 30 min of exercise each day they will get on base. The more you do the further you get.

    The players who come behind you push you forward so as long as you get on base you're helping your team.

    So this is who we have so far (unless I missed someone)

    We need one more player to complete our team

    OK! I can do that! Do, I just post my steps on this thread like usual or do I need to go somewhere else?

    I think Greg said to post here in our team threads and then the captains will update the spreadsheet on behalf of their teams.

    Re: Baseball Challenge
    If all the players post their steps and exercise minutes in their daily check ins I can gather the info from there and figure out our score for the captains to post.

    So here's our team:
    @Ka97 (week 1)
    @Kres567 (week 2)

    BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND

    Fat2Fit Buddy Program
    Thank you all for your patience!

    @Beka3695 and I just paired up ALMOST everyone. We had an odd number and are waiting for an answer from someone to pair up the last person. Here is what we have so far. Please contact your buddy and exchange email, phone, however you want to stay in touch, and "friend" each other so you can share your food and exercise diary wherever you keep it. Set up check-in times, and go for it! Keep each other going and have a blast. If you have a problem with your buddy (time zone or other issue), just let me or @Beka3695 know by message and we'll see what we can do. Enjoy!

    If you havent already, post your steps and exercise starting Sun Apr 7th and we can get started.

    The rules changed since the original post so now both exercise minutes and steps count. Also post if you have a rest day planned so we can get it approved.

    I don’t regularly track steps, just exercise - my goals are based on mikes and estimated calories burned. So now I’m worried I might be more of a burden then help.

    I’m actually off to workout now. Whatever you guys decide is best for the group is good with me, just let me know what to do.

    OK CAPTAINS
    THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONFUSION AMONG THE RANK AND FILE
    IF YOU EXERCISE ON THE TREADMILL FOR CARDIO OR EXERCISE THAT IS COUNTED AS AN EXERCISE
    NOW THOSE STEPS THAT YOU BUILT UP DURING THAT EXERCISE AND THE STEPS YOU GET FOR THE REST OF THE DAY COUNTS AS YOUR STEPS TOTAL IN THE STEP CATEGORY.... SO IT'S POSSIBLE IN ONE DAY THAT YOU COULD HIT 2 HOME RUNS OR GO FOR THE CYCLE

    EXAMPLE:.....
    NAVYDADDJTC 12000 STEPS = DOUBLE
    NAVYDADDJTC THOSE 12000 STEPS AT ABOUT 60 MIN. = TRIPLE
    SO I SCORE 1 RUN AND IS STRANDED AT 2ND UNTIL TOMORROW

    ANY QUESTION??

    ANY QUESTION??

    So running X miles counts both for steps and exercise? Can we use the standard estimate of 2500 steps per mile?
