@ Dar - last challenge we measured, twice start and finish. But I think measuring is a better indication than the scales so I recommend measuring for your own progress monthly and logging them on mfp, you can create new ones that you track - I also track things like: body fat %, Waist-to-Height ratio and Waist to hip ratio amongst others - but I'm rather geeky and love stats

Weight this morning is 122.5. Really small loss. Not surprising though since I only got to run twice and I indulged in some comfort food. I am feeling better this morning. Fingers crossed it lasts.
To make up for not helping the team this week I am rearranging my miles for next week. Got a babysitter to do my long run on sunday instead of Saturday so the time and calories count. Ready to kick this flu and start the challenge the right way.0 -

**** Week 2 ****
Please read week 2 in full, if you have any questions please ask!
With week 1 out of the way, it's time to get down to it... we now have team targets for both calorie burn and reps - so I will give you the splits, for it shared equally amongst the 12 of us Remember this is an elimination challenge, although the first couple of weeks tend to be people with incomplete weeks or drop outs... it does get competitive (in a friendly way) and I know Sheri takes into account how much you do above the minimum to help your team, when it comes down to elimination after weight loss has been factored into this...
So if you are unsure of what is required or need ideas, please don't be shy!!!
Breakdown
#1 Workout
Four separate days - 30 / 45 / 60 / 90 minutes
these are to be consecutive, so you can't do 30 mins in the morning and 60 in the PM - has to be altogether for it to count. You may change exercises / machines or tag a walk onto an exercise dvd etc.
Individual cal goal of 1300
Team target 19'200 - spilt equally = 1600 calorie bun each
#2 Reps
Core and cardio reps
Individual Rep goal of 400
Team target 7'200 - spilt equally = 600 reps each
#3 Flexibility
10 mins - 4 days
# Points
The points part is TBC - but I would do what you have chosen as it will most likely be something on that line, maybe try to stay under the 2500mg of sodium and drink 8 glasses of water a day, this is what we had last round, as well as sit ups... which I think I'll do as if it's not in this time I can always count them as reps this week
Like I said any Qs, just ask and let's rock this week!!!! But first have an awesome evening!!!!!0 -
So excited
one more shift at the hospital tomorrow, then 2 days off 0 -
I've just read the points part of the challenge looks good, I think I'll have to leave the car at home for running club and walk home so it's over an hour (it's normally 50 mins ish) it takes about 10-15 mins to walk it so that will help with my daily points that day 0
-
Hi all,
The challenge starts today, but the points do not start until tomorrow, correct?
Have a great week everyone!0 -
Questions:
1. If I do my 90 min workout then later in the day do a 30 min workout can include the cals burnt from the 30 min in my calorie goal.
2. If I do a 30 min cardio circuit do the reps in that count for my reps and can be counted as a workout
3. If I go to gym and do 30 weights only - can I count that as a workout?
4. If I do 60 mins on three different cardio machines I'm the gym - consecutively - can I count that as one workout?
Think that's it for now!!

Questions:
1. If I do my 90 min workout then later in the day do a 30 min workout can include the cals burnt from the 30 min in my calorie goal.
** Yep...you can always work out more than the minimum.
2. If I do a 30 min cardio circuit do the reps in that count for my reps and can be counted as a workout
** you can not count reps as part of your work-out. So you would EITHER count the reps or take the 30 minute work-out
3. If I go to gym and do 30 weights only - can I count that as a workout?
** Same answer as number 2.
4. If I do 60 mins on three different cardio machines I'm the gym - consecutively - can I count that as one workout?
*** Yep...counts as one work-out.
Think that's it for now!!

Be careful that you don't burn yourself out. That seems like a lot of working out. Remember that as important as exercise it the work-out component is only 25% of weight loss. The rest comes down to diet.
I am heading out right now to drop the kids at grandma's and then attempt a long run with my husband. Feeling better but weak. We are doing point to point so I can't really bail but the run might turn into a walk.0 -
Hi all,

Have a great week everyone!
Yes that's correct!Questions:
1. If I do my 90 min workout then later in the day do a 30 min workout can include the cals burnt from the 30 min in my calorie goal.
Yes, you can count it, I sometimes do workout doubles as long as the time you wanting to log it as (30 / 45 / 60 / 90) is continuous then that is fine! What you can't do is break the 90 minute over the day.
2. If I do a 30 min cardio circuit do the reps in that count for my reps and can be counted as a workout
For the main workout part of the challenge you can't double dip, so if you are using the 30 minutes as you main workout (#1) you can't also count the reps (#2) but you can just use this as reps only, as long as it's countable
3. If I go to gym and do 30 weights only - can I count that as a workout?
If you go to the gym and do weights - you can log it in either the workout cals / time #1 or reps #2, you can't log it as both
4. If I do 60 mins on three different cardio machines I'm the gym - consecutively - can I count that as one workout?
That is 1 workout as long as you don't take too long of a break in-between machines, a few minutes is fine... you can also do 2 classes back to back, as one workout etc
Think that's it for now!!
Xxxx
Basically you can either log something as a workout using the time and cal burn or as reps not as both!
Now saying all of that, for the points part of the challenge you can double dip here and only here, so say I do a 30 run and then later on I do 20 mins rep work, followed straight by the 10 min flexibility
As I have done 2 lots of 30 mins, I get 10 points for the day.
If on the other hand I had done the the reps and flexibility at separate times, then I could only claim for the 30 min run.
Hope this helps, if not hollow!!!!!
I'm shatter, more painting today second coat of white washing the kitchen... glad I don't need a third coat the plaster looks like it's all covered!!! So I get to go shopping for the actual paint for it this week, ready for next weekend!0 -
