*************ATTENTION TEAM***************** This is not a drill... I repeat this is NOT a drill, our team is being attacked. Man your battle stations. I need every member on deck immediately.
I would like to call your attention to threats being made at our team by a guy going by the name of "Ralph". It's not known whether or not this is indeed his real name but to see a mug shot of this guy click here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ralphcurt
At first I thought he was harmless with statements like:
• RalphCurt- It is a shame team Perseverance is going to lose so badly to Team Bootie Busters! Oh, it is going to be ugly....

Plus I checked out his food diary from last night and get a load of this: He was over by 711 calories, a fat boy ice cream sandwich, a 488 calorie margarita, and a noodle SALAD had 30g of fat in it.
But we are dealing with a real con man here people! Here is an example of the tactics this guy is using.
RalphCurt- Dear Team Perseverance: Congratulations! You have won the amalgamated food producers award! Please send me you home address so that we may send you a free box of free ice cream and a free box if cheese everyday for the month of August. Enjoy!

BE STRONG TEAM!!! We have to present a united front against anything that would deter us from victory. And right now that thing is calling itself RALPH!
I trust that most of you know what to do. I think Ralph could use an inbox full of high calorie recipes and coupons for free donuts if ya got em!
You are dismissed!

OMG!!! This is SOOOO not going to be taken lightly. We are so going to get him....and his high calorie tactics too!!!0

This is what I had to say to Ralph earlier.....
Just sittin here eating a plate full of carrots, yellow squash and broccoli as I review your food diary from last night again. Hmmm over by 711 calories, a fat boy ice cream sandwich, a 488 calorie margarita, and your noodle SALAD had 30g of fat in it. Yep you and the Bootie Busters are gonna win alright...a trip to Macy's to buy new pants when you bend over and rip the seat of yours out! ~ TEAM PERSEVERANCE0 -
Ralph - you're going DOWN!!!!!
Team Perseverance will woop your a** !!0 -
I just turned in my food diary for the day and can't wait to compare it to Ralph's this evening!!!!0
-
RalphCurt I had 2 fat boy icream sandwiches yesterday! And I had a bacon cheese dog today! If only these days counted...
. You keep eating those carrots today - when Monday comes around we'll see .... Team BOOTIE BUSTERS is going to rock loud and proud!! Talk is cheap today - have your fun! Come Monday I will be sending you a box of Kleenex!

Lori_menorahlover You wish!!!!!! I will have you crying under the table like a little girl!!! All I have to do is wave a box of those ice cream sandwiches in front of your face and you'll be on top of them like a fat kid on a cupcake!!! Your team is going down!!!!0 -
oh my word! sit ups, push ups, I haven't done those in ages. This should be interesting! Oh well, BRING IT ON!!!0
-
Sorry, but I don't think we should be judging this "Ralph" guy by his diary. You can look at the last few days of my diary and judge me because GASP, I had queso last night, a chimichanga, AND a cobbler. I still drink alcohol, I eat REAL ice cream. I eat fast food. Honestly, maybe Ralph just had a really good night last night before he gets all crazy in August. I don't blame him!0
-
Lori,
Just a couple of questions -
1. Where do we send our photos to?
2. How/where do we log our completed challenges?
Thanks

Ralph and I are playing theatrics all in the name of fun Arielle it's ok.
You send your photos to my email which is menorahlover@gmail.com and you post here in our forum when you have finished completing a challenge and that is your "log in". Then I put it in my spreadsheet. Just makes it easier to come here and get all of your info than having everyone message me when they've completed a challenge.

So I have had stomach pains all day yesturday, it may be bad heartburn too and today the same thing but not as bad. So yesturday I hardly ate anything but come dinner time, I felt a lot better and I was starved at that point so I ate really bad. I did'nt even right it down but one of the bad things was garlic fries. I have'nt even exercised this weekend because I don't feel good. I hope this stomach pain goes away soon because I am not gonna loose any weight if I keep this up.0
-
tanya - sorry you are not feeling well. We do some of our worst eating when we don't feel well. Hope your stomach feels better soon.0
-
Hugs Tanya you will be in my thoughts and prayers today! Get as much rest as possible and I hope you feel better in time to start the challange!0

Hi everyone!
I'm so sorry for the late intro but I've been really worried I couldn't compete in this challenge due to my hip injury. However I feel like It has improved a lot so will try and workout 2morrow to see how it goes:bigsmile: .
I've just been catching up on all that Ive missed and I really can't wait to get to know you all so we can kick some butt (especially someone starting with R and ending in alph )
My names KJ and I'm 32 and I've been living and working in South Korea for nearly 8 years as a teacher. I have been overweight most of my life however at school I was very athletic and had a nice sporty bod. Well that has def changed! I really want to get back to a healthy weight so I can think about having a baby and be confident when go out. I have just stated really using MFP in the last 2 weeks and I'm really enjoying the supportive community and love the opportunity to partake in challenges (I'm very competitive!!!)
Lori - you seem like a born leader who is def going to help us push ourselves to the limit, I love it!!! I'll post SW 2morrow as I will weigh myself in the morning. A pic, mmmm I'll try but I'm scared the camera will break :happy:. Also if my hip is a bit sore to do starjumps 2morrow is there another exercise I could do for the challenge. I'll try my best but I just think the jarring on my hip may be too much this early on.
Jill - I too am very sarcastic (I'm from New Zealand and all us Kiwis are :laugh: ) I never mean it but it keeps everyone on their toes
Amanda - My heart goes out to you at this tough time and I really hope everything is ok
Tanya - Hope your stomach feels better, nothing worse than being sick!
Everyone else - Can't wait to KICK SOME *kitten*!!!!0 -
I agree KJ. I am ready to kick some *kitten* right off of my *kitten*!!0
-
Hello All!
Tanya - I hope you feel better soon!
Lori - here you go...
CW: 343.6
MFP Starting: 376
GW: 225
Will get a pic over to you sometime today.
Love the Mr. T pic, btw...lol.0 -
That's for your post KJ!!! Loved getting to find out more about you! Fascinating life it sounds like!!!!
I have messaged Gary about an alternative to the jumping jacks and waiting to hear back from him.
He made a forum for us captains and the same question was addressed over there but still no word.

Good Luck everyone for Day 1 - I'm off to dream of 'Jumping Jacks' lol :happy:0
-
Night Jules!!!!!! See you tomorrow!!!0
-
Do you have to send a pic?? I mean, I guess I can, lol, but it's a bit depressing for me lol. It's sad this is a healthy weight for my height IMO. Anyways, I am fine being disqualified from the prizes if I have to be. Just let me know and I'll send one if I need too.
Tomorrow I have a meeting with a new personal trainer. You get 12 free short sessions to develop a work out plan and goals and then thee free one hour sessions once you do that. I'm excited.
As for calories, I recently started trying something new and love it. I'm doing 4 day sets with days 1 and 3 at 1.5lbs loss (so 750 calorie deficit), day 2 at target (500 calorie deficit), and day 4 at no deficit. It's nice since I'm getting to treat myself on day 4 which keeps me on point the other three days.0 -
So it's 100 jumping jacks tomorrow? In addition to the normal work out?0
-
That is correct the challenge for tomorrow is 100 jumping jacks on top of your normal workout!!!
Also NO you do NOT have to send a pic if you do not want and it does NOT disqualify you from anything.0 -
My pic will be coming later tonight. Today proved to be a very busy day. 0

Love the picture, Lori!!!!! Hilarious!! So excited to start.0
