Very familiar with the lake, I lived next to it for a few years when I first moved from home!
I am south shore now, but could do a walk some weekend. I'll end you a message on your page so we can plan a date!0 -
Yep, I'm the other Cambridge person (and yes, and MIT student). What a coincidence we were all placed in the same team! I'm currently living in the Kendall Square area, but would love to meet up sometime to work out. I'm actually going home (Austin, TX) for most of August, though, to visit the parents, but I'm up for anything once I return in September 0

-
im so excited about this! im not quite sure what up and downs are though! i also have a question about how we will log our progress, should we just post on here and be like "i did it!"? I know you can look at our diaries and see that we were under on our calories and got all our water in. IM READY!!!0
-
can people still join?0
-
So pumped up for this! I have a few questions
Day 1 Exercise Challenge - 100 Jumping Jacks*(see below)
=Can I do a low impact version? I cannot jump on my leg yet. (1 arm 1 leg/ swtch sides, fast enough ot get to aerobic state)
Day 2 Exercise Challenge – Walk, Run or Jog 1 Mile (extra) - I can do this!
Day 3 Exercise Challenge – 50 Situps or Ab Crunches* I can do this!
Day 4 Exercise Challenge – 40 UP and Downs *
No idea what this is
Day 5 Exercise Challenge – 25 Pushups *
wall pushups or knee pushups acceptable?
Day 6 Exercise Challenge – 25 Squat Lunges*
Not sure what this is
Day 7 Rest! You deserve it!
Thank you for being our captain!!!0 -
I have the same questions as railreader...not sure what a couple of these are?
And also, suggestion, this forum is gonna get so huge if we keep this one for the whole month. I suggest having a weekly forum. to minimize how many pages we have to jump thru to catch up on everybody (cheer them on) and check in.0 -
great idea Tricia! i'll make a new forum on sunday that will say "THIN TO WIN-WEEK 1 (CLOSED GROUP)" everyone look for it!!!
no problem, modify the workout in a way you are comfortable! so yes, girl/wall push ups are acceptable if you aren't used to regular, etc,etc! Make it work FOR YOU!!!
here is a video showing an "up and down" exercise:

here is a video showing an "squat lunge" exercise: http://www.ehow.com/video_2351882_squat-lunge-combo-exercise.html
please post what you have done with your weigh in on sundays or monday morning ASAP!0 -
Sounds great, I can hardly wait to get started. :laugh:0
-
it is for the whole day right? so for the jumping jacks and things we can break it up through the day , Just saying im a stay at home mom and I already get up early to do my treadmill run and going to start jillian micheals it would be alot to add 100 jumping or whatever on top of that .0
-
tjdsmommy: yep, you can def break it up during the day!! maybe in increments of 10! 10 when you get up, 10 before your run, 10 after, 10 before Jillian Micheals...etc etc!!0
-
yay!! i'm excited for the challenges!! 0
-
Sorry for the late reply on my starting and goal info.
SW: 184.6 as of this morning
GW: 179.5
I'm looking forward to this challenge...all except the up downs. I HATE those....but I'll take one for the team.

Pumped up for this!!! i had to watch the two videos for description but i think i can do all of these. Looking forward to trying anyway.
Awesome logo btw.0 -
I use a scale at my office, so I will know how much damage I did this weekend on Monday, but I did weigh on Friday, so I guess I will use that.
Challenge SW: 160.4
Challenge GW: 152
154 is the lowest I've been in my adult life and I was back down there a few months ago and sort of hit a wall. I want to go below that. I also want to log everything all month and workout 6 days per week.
I really need some teammate motivation/reminders if I'm going to drink 64 oz of water each day to not knock us out of our extra team point...
I will try hard to not let the team down...I'm getting nervous. Like if I go over my calories one day, the whole team loses its weekly points. That's pressure :blushing:0 -
Do we need to check the main board for modifications for the up/downs? I will try them but not sure I can do them, the rest I am good with (modified push ups though)0
-
Quick question...is Day One on Sunday or Monday?0
