Yeah Pam! Glad you got your stats in. ALL noted now on the chart. It seems EVERYONE met their goals this week. And we are over all our team goals. WELL DONE SHARKS!
Just waiting to see if Kai checks in - not sure if she is still with us. I did send a PM the other day, but no news. Anyone heard from her? I hope she is OK!
ALL UPDATED TO HERE!0 -
Ali, thanks for taking care of the last chance workout stats ... you are a real gem :flowerforyou:
And I'm with Ali on this ... what an absolutely brilliant team we sharks are ... I love this team

Wow...we really did do great this week! I love our team too, Mary!
Does anybody else slack up with your eating and all on the weekends? During my other challenge when I did so good, I rarely had a 'cheat meal' or dessert, but now I almost feel like I'm entitled to eat more and/or be lazier on the weekends. And I know that is undermining my efforts...Anybody have any input? 0 -

Yes it's my total down fall lol I can have a whole week of good eating and screw it up on the weekends. Especially on national eat your kids halloween candy day lol0 -
WE ARE NUMBER ONE THIS WEEK!!!
Well, I already *knew* we were number one...but now we have proof!
Let's use that momentum to do EVEN BETTER this next week!!!
GOOOO US!!!0 -
As Pam said, I always knew we were NUMBER ONE, but this confirms it!
I LOVE that not only did we "win" that top spot on weight loss (notice THREE of us in the Top Ten :bigsmile: ) but Sheri calls us an "Amazing team" since we had EVERY person complete the challenge, AND the highest overall level of participation AND the highest percentage of weight loss. We couldn't have done it better :happy: :bigsmile: GREAT WORK SHARKS! Simply THE BEST :bigsmile:
Now let's do it again this week :laugh: :laugh:
Enjoy your rest today, but let's do as well (and maybe even better :bigsmile: ) next week.
So proud of you all :flowerforyou:0 -

Yes, weekends are my hard time too! However, I am doing a little better than I used to. This cartoon sums up how I view most of my Saturdays now though :laugh: :

And here is this week's summary (for those that like to see it here):
#1 WORKOUT - 3 days of at least 30 minutes AND one day of 120 minutes (can divide this into 2 workouts on that day)
No min. number of minutes for the week here, as long as you get the above in.
Calories to burn: 1400
FOR THE TEAM: 16500 = 1650 each
#2 HIIT - ADD 6-10 minutes preferably at another time to your usual workout. Do as follows:
1 min. warm up (light jog)
1 min. high intensity (high knees, Jumping jacks, burpees, mountain climbers, etc)
30 seconds recovery (light walk)
Repeat to 6-10 minutes
Last minute - cool down.
THIS IS EXTRA - DOESN'T COUNT TOWARDS OTHER WORKOUTS/REPS/POINTS
Not sure if we have to do this every day, or just the 4 days we need to workout. Will let you know once Sheri answers this question!
#3 - seems to be missing!
#4: REPS - 250 core reps and 250 other (minimum 500 in total)
TEAM: 5600 = 560 each
#5 Personal Challenge: EXTRA MOVEMENT POINTS!
TWICE a DAY - two extra movement points (walk up stairs with washing in very small piles; park further away in car park; stairs instead of lift; etc. Be imaginative here!) A point for each EM. Maximum 2 a day and 12 a week.
#6: STRETCHING: 5 minutes on all 6 days again. This has to be IN ADDITION to stretching you do with your workouts.
I hope all that makes sense! Ask if you have any questions.0 -
Yay! Sharks are NUMBER ONE!!!! Congratulations to Kristie, Ali and Samantha for making the top 10!! Woo hoo:laugh:0

OK, here is the answer from Sheri clarifying the challenge for this week:
"For this week do a HIIT on 4 days - also preferably on your workout days - but does NOT have to be - as I said in #2 - also preferably at opposite times of your normal workout - my example - I workout in the evenings so I am going to try and do my HIIT's either in the am or at lunch time.
And No there is no #3 - You guys are quick ;-) Also didn't have a chance to go in and fix that before my computer died...Sorry!!! "0 -
Oh, Ali...that 'chocolates' cartoon is too funny!
And I'm very happy that you guys can relate to my weekend struggles, but you're not offering much help!!! :laugh:
No, seriously, I realize that I can only help myself...I just have to want it bad enough. And if I cheat some on the weekends but do really good all week, I usually still see results; they just come slower. The deal is, I want faster results because I have to see family around the holidays that I only see once a year...and I just *have* to look decent! (Vain, I know!)0 -
Watch your back little sharkies....We Are Coming To De-Throne You!!!
(but Also want to congratulate you on a Great Week All Around!!!) 'Enough of that though!!! Week 5...Dolphins #1!! :drinker:

I LOVE MY SHARKS!!!!! WE'RE #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that I got that out the way.....I have the same weekend issues. I think that is why I like the fact that this challenge starts on a Sunday. One less day to eat crazy!
Oh, I love that cartoon...pretty much my weekend attitude (insert pizza instead of chocolate). Maybe we can help each other with tips or little saturday challenge to stop us if we feel like we are going overboard (not a Sheri-like challenge just something for weekend motivation).0 -
Ooh...weekend motivation would be good! I need it for Friday AND Saturday! They are both so far from NEXT Friday's weigh-in that it's easy to justify a little splurge... I'm all ears for motivational/challenging ideas!
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! LET'S STAY ON TOP!!!0 -
Wow! What a great week for all of us! I'm so happy to be a part of this team. Knowing the effort that all of you put in motivates me to push harder and do my best. I'm surprised at my loss but I think it has to do with my weekends off. When I strictly adhere to my avg cals my weigh loss slows. As soon as I have a day or two when I'm not stressing over food and calorie counts- whoosh! -it comes flying off. So I think it is important that we partake in the occasional indulgence especially considering how many calories we are truly burning thru this challenge. Yeah we add up the burn from the workouts, but don't forget the reps, EM, etc. Let's ride this wave into another successful week!

Well, I tried to copy and paste a support thingie, but I'm computer-challenged, so I'll just give you the quote:
"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."0 -
Well I came on here earlier on today and was feeling bad (tired, did not want to work out, telling myself I deserved a break today and really wanting to eat some of the banana cake my daughter made earlier) ... and then I read what Mary posted:
Don't let what you want now, destroy where you want to be tomorrow.
So had a silent :explode: at myself (wished I'd eaten the cake BEFORE coming on here to read what Sharks had written :laugh: ) but then felt sufficiently convicted :blushing: and went and did 30 minutes of circuit training (telling myself if I was still hungry later at least I'd have burned some calories before tucking into that cake!) and guess what ... I had a cup of coffee and an apple afterwards! :happy:
SO THANK YOU MARY! I am glad (now!) that I didn't let what I wanted destroy where I want to be by the end of this challenge!
And thanks to all you fabulous sharks for posting such great encouragements. YOU ARE THE BEST!
So my encouragement for today: TOGETHER we can do this:

I have a question. For the personal challenge part, is that a requirement or a goal?0

I may not be a tiger, but I sure will roar this week.
I may not be a shark or a dolphin, but watch me swim.
I am no gecko, but try catching me on my runs.
I am a Wolverine, a powerful and versatile predator 0 -
Well, today was not good for me, as far as exercise...my company is leaving tomorrow, so hopefully things will be better.
Anyway, here's Sunday:

Donna, love this, but my question is regarding the first part of your post which is on part 1 of the sharks page ... was the 60 mins walking for Sunday? how many calories and how many EM's
Thanks.
Otherwise SPREADSHEET IS UPDATED TO HERE.0 -
I have a question. For the personal challenge part, is that a requirement or a goal?
Hi Kristie,
It is a goal and a bonus points opportunity rather than a requirement. :laugh:0 -

SUNDAY:
WORKOUT: 30 minutes circuit training.
15 calories burned
(2 more 30 minutes to go, and that horrible 120 minute day! And 1085 calories left to burn!)
REPS: 150 core reps (sit-ups 25 x 2, reverse curls 25 x 2, double crunches 25 x 2) and then 50 other reps (plank jacks)
(100 core reps to go and 200 other reps)
STRETCHING: Did my 5 minutes
(5 more days to go)
HIIT: Did 8 minutes :happy:
(3 more lots to go!)
EM: (1) Emptied all the rubbish bins (we have 6 in the house) - but took them outside to the large bin/burning area ONE by ONE! Lots more walking that way :-)
(2) We have a water filter on the kitchen side for drinking water. It needs filling each day and I usually do this using a large bucket (good for the arm muscles, but quick to do!) However, I got out a small measuring jug today and squatted down to bucket on floor and then up to pour in to top of filter. Took me 10 squats to get it full (was already partially full, so might take more on another occasion!) Will do this each day as one of my EM's.
SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE. (Mine only! Thanks Mary :flowerforyou: )0
