agreenmess

I did 1478 yesterday and ran 300 today

Nessy x

sineadgrowden

hay i done 1000 yesterday and will do more later 2night

annacataldo

I actually did 400 of the stairs throwing 3lb weights over my shoulders, and pressing my arms up over my head, etc, with each stair... I just about died with that... i didnt think 3lb weights would affect so much!!

babybluz33

Wow, you are all fabulous. I need to get my *kitten* in gear! I've been all mopey and stuff, I'll get it together-I don't want to be the only one on the team not kicking *kitten*!

scantrll

Well, if only going up is what counts, then I did 400 yesterday. Now I really gotta do more today. I wasn't sure if I was going to, cause I'm so tired, but now I've gotta start getting on top of this! Gotta blow out of this building before the other teams!

scantrll

Alright, I did another 20 flights of stairs, which puts my weekly total up to 720 (up) stairs out of 1800. And let me tell you, the going down stairs are what hurt today from yesterday's stairs adventures! :laugh:

We're gonna kick some zombie tail! :explode:

babybluz33

Ok, we can add another 500 stairs (up only) for me today. So that puts me at 900/1800 for the week so far. More to come tomorrow...

Keep up the good work team!

LASH3S

Ok.. i'm at about 400.. but today was a crappy day... i'll do more tomorrow!

brokenxglass

Okay, yesterday I did 1000 and today I did 800. I'll be sure to do a lot extra for our team!

makena78

I'm at 800 I think in steps. working my butt of in other areas too. glad we have a place to chat.

annacataldo

Lash, it says we don't have a weigh in for u...? Is that correct?

gnoccola

So far I did 730+520 = 1250 I might get more done tonight. I'm down in the basement right now and eventually will have to go back upstairs.

DeviantDarkwolf2

1000 done so far I will see if I can manage to do some more after my other exercises. Total =2000 so far

Jennyisbusy

So far I did 730+520 = 1250 I might get more done tonight. I'm down in the basement right now and eventually will have to go back upstairs.

Ha ha - I hope it is still a zombie free basement!

Jennyisbusy

My weekly is at 650up now. I have a sinus infection so I am hoping that it will get better soon so I can step it up a little.

Real stairs users - As for the going down stairs not counting - in the end it is to our benefit, we are burning some extra calories and burning some extra muscles to boot! I am grateful they cleared it up at the beginning of the week so we can adjust accordingly. Which leads me to the following story:

I thought there was a stair-stepper at my apartment gym so I bebopped down there, flung the door open, only to see... no stair stepper. I groaned and let the door close. Halfway home I realized there was only one black man in the gym and he may have thought my reaction was to him, so I spun around and walked back and said, "sorry if I seemed rude or crazy I was looking for a stairstepper to fulfill a zombie challenge." to which her replied "Were you in here before?" He never heard or saw me. lol

Jennyisbusy

BTW- Thanks for the post Athena!

DeviantDarkwolf2

I wonder how many extra we will have to do to get the bonus? I may have to go into spy mode and see how the other teams are doing. I think we are doing fantastic already but if I know I need to boost it I will

athenawho

Ok, everyone, here is the new update:

Total Steps Needed by Group: 27,000
Team Explosives Totals: 18,542
(This includes Me, cobylea, babybluz33, miw14, DeviantDarkwolf, annacataldo, scantrll, brokenxglass, agreenmess, sineadgrowden, LASH3S, makena78, gnoccola, and Jennyisbusy)

I'm just waiting to hear from xxx_Pink_Princess_xxx and we'll have out full totals!

But.... GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!!

All right so ACowboyKid asked me to post the rules so here it goes:



RULES/GUIDELINES/STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW:

1. NO CHEATING. Seriously people, its not like we're going to hunt you down to find out if your fibbing but if we find out you will be booted from the team. Its pretty lame if you're lying on a little online competition that is aimed to help you. Not to mention you'd only be hurting yourself.

2. WEIGH-INS AND CHECK INS. are Mondays from July 11th to October 24th. So that makes this challenge a 15 week competition which, honestly, is a good amount of time for people to reach their goal weights/goal fitness level/whatever you kids are doing these days.You don't check in one week then you are penalized a pound. If you know you are going away or cannot reply one week please notify your captain of the week or whatever and we'll make sure you'll be excepted. If you go two weeks without a notification sent to a captain then you will be booted off the team.

4. ACCEPTING/NOT ACCEPTING NEW INDIVIDUALS. When the teams reach 15 members each we close the teams. If someone is booted off the team they will be played out to either be dead or zombified in the scenario then we will be more than happy to open up and accept a new member or someone from the waiting list into the spot.

5. GRADING. Seeing as we want this to be fair for all individuals the teams will be graded in a little unusual manner. Members will go off of their own weight loss percentage (so the weight they have lost from their total weight will be added into the teams... er... fat pot). This will account for 50% of the total team's grade. The other 50% will come from the physical challenges (remember people we are preparing for the zombie apocalypse) where each person is able to gain 10 points each week by doing the challenge.

6. CHATTING ON TEAM/MAIN THREADS. Please do so! Make friends. Build a support system. Besides chopping/shooting off imaginary zombie heads that's the fun of this thing. This is not some roleplaying game but this isn't intended to only be something where you talk about zombies either (although always welcome!).

7. CHALLENGES. Our challenges are physical and will last over a weeks period of time and on Monday weigh-ins members must post their challenge results as well. Reporting your progress through out the week is highly encouraged but not required (this might change as time goes on). I'm also currently tossing around the idea of giving a few point bonuses to teams who complete the physical challenges the fastest as a whole. Also we are hoping to make it so challenges will be both a strength challenge for the week and a cardio challenge seeing as both are very important. If you find a challenge to be too easy or too difficult please contact your captain or myself and we can try to modify it to better suit your abilities. As time goes on we will be making the challenges more difficult.

8. WANNA MAKE THIS BETTER? Please, if you guys have any ideas how to make this even better let us know. We might not take your idea but we will definitely love to have some input. I want this to be awesome for you guys and I'm just getting it off the ground so any ideas/tips/etc are more than welcome and greatly appreciated. =]


The rules are also on the original topic!

athenawho
