This thread was created for us to (1) pick a team name, (2) pick a team captain, (3) most importantly for us to keep up with the daily/weekly challenges as well as the points! Also to encourage each other when we need it the most!!!

CANT WAIT FOR THIS TO START!!!!

MadBabysMama

Perfect! I just tried sending you all messages but this looks easier. I don't have strong opinions - my high school colors were purple and white and we were the Panthers, but I'm definitely eager to hear any creative ideas from you gals. Maybe we should have a name that reflects our fitness/weight loss goals?

Glorious Women
road runners
Sassy Shakedown

LOVE THOSE NAMES!!! LADIES ANY IDEAS?? AND WHO IS GOING TO BE TEAM CAPTAIN??? WE HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT SOON.

PurpleCoookie

I don't know if I can be a good team leader but I vote for aggressive flares as the team name.

MadBabysMama

I was leaning toward Sassy Shakedown but am fine with whatever the rest of y'all like. Since we don't really know each other yet, it's a little hard to vote on a leader - I suggest that someone nominate themselves. I'm not interested at the moment but willing to do it if no one else wants to.

elmobabie84

If, and i do mean IF, the other ladies dont want to be team captain then i will do it. As for a name it doesnt matter to me. :bigsmile: just happy to be doing this.

PurpleCoookie

Alright, Sassy shakedown sounds like a winner and hello captain elmobabie84. :laugh:

Week 1 challenge from Jen:

Just as a refresher:
We will base everything on a points system:
For every mile that you run/walk/bike/swim/etc, you will earn 10 points for your team.
For daily nutrition challenges - each person on your team that completes the challenge will earn an additional 5 points for your team
For daily exercise challenges - each person on your team that completes the challenge will earn an additional 10 points for your team

Every day, the team captains will need to send me their team's total points for the day. I will maintain a spreadsheet for everyone to monitor the progress of the challenge.

For the exercise challenges - You choose if you use weights or not. This is all about pushing yourself to do something that you wouldn't ordinarily do, BUT we don't want anyone getting hurt. The main idea is to go DISTANCE. The Nutrition & Exercise challenges are EXTRA.

I have a question about the way to tally points. I do water aerobics at least 2 times a week for an hour. I have no clue how many miles that is but I know it's a great workout.

MadBabysMama

Hi, ladies. Here are my numbers so far today (I still have my date with Jillian late night so will complete the crunches then, you can count it as a yes).
Miles = 3.0
Nutrition Under Calories = Yes

PurpleCoookie

50 crunches- Yes
under calorie goal- yes

Those crunches gave me a nice burn.

MadBabysMama

Crunches officially done - thank you, Jillian!

elmobabie84

one mile done
crunches yes
under calories yes

elmobabie84

I have a question about the way to tally points. I do water aerobics at least 2 times a week for an hour. I have no clue how many miles that is but I know it's a great workout.

elmobabie84
