If anyone is up for it...

Here is another message via Gary:

Encourage all of your folks to take a current full body pic before Monday. Have them send it to you. At the end of the challenge we will have them take another pic and send that to you. I'll compile all of the pics and we can do a before and after photo slide show. I'm going to do a prize for the winner of the biggest transformation. I'll narrow it down to the top 10 and let everyone vote! It'll be a blast!

You can email them to me which is myusername@gmail.com

This is going to be great!!! Who's ready to WIN THIS!!

So, I don't have a way to do a full body shot, is it cool if I take mini shots?

And are we posting at the end of the day when we're done with our exercise and food diary?

A front and side shot will be best! I don't think it will matter much what time of day the photo is taken, just one from the beginning of August to compare to the end of august photo.

Thanks to all those that emailed them to me! Dont worry, I won't be putting them on the forum, just keeping them till the end for Gary.

Hey everyone....just saw the update about pictures....no pressure
I'll send it tonight.

But does anyone know how to make this topic a favorite to go directly to it? Or is there a way to get updates of new posts?

Just wondering?

hey when do we start everything?

kcgslp

start tomorrow! August 1st.

Hope everyone is gearing up for tomorrow! I'm also doing the August 10# challenge, so I hope to lose that at the minimum but I'd really like to shoot for 14 lbs. That would put me at 170 and I'd LOVE to hit that before Labor Day!

Hi Guys!

Thank you all for getting me this info! I've compiled this together from this forum and messages, so if you all could please double check the info below, I want to make sure I've got this right! Gary is looking for this tonight/tomorrow am, so if you haven't given me your starting weight, please do so.

I hope you all have taken the time to friend one another! This way we can motivate and support each other and WIN THIS CHALLENGE!!

A few other key notes:

Thank you for the before photo's. I know many of you were un-easy doing that! (so am I!!) At the end of the competition I'm sending them to gary so he can compile a slideshow, and have everyone vote on the biggest transformation!

Also, I'm still waiting on a replacement excercise for those jumping jacks. I'll let you know when I do.

Lastly, is everyone clear on how the points will work?

1 point per lb loss

1 point per person for each daily challenge (21 per day max 6 = 126) additional 5 point if the entire teams does each challenge every day = 131

1 point per person for each "weekly challenge" per day (20 per day max *6=126) and an additional 5 points if everyone completes this goal for the week = 131

So potential 262 points plus weight loss points.

For week 2's weighh in, please MESSAGE me those, instead of posting them in this forum. I don't want our competition knowing exactly how we're doing. It seems a few other teams are doing this, and it was a great idea.

Ok, have a great night! Lets kick some &^%% tomorrow!!

Starting weight is 159.6, I will take my sunday am weights instead of evening weights.

I will write more details about me tomorrow its off to bed since tomorrow I start Power 90!

szczepj

Correct! Excited to start.

mommaski4

Ready to start. Will have to do the photo tomorrow. Just checking in before bed and noticed. Have to get my husband to take one tomorrow.

100 jumping jacks, here I come. Just have to let you all know, that is a big challenge for me as I have not been able to do a real jumping jack in quite a while. I am afraid of hurting my knees. But, this IS a challenge, so chellenge myself I must.

Good luck everybody!

kristinmkartist

Good Morning ladies!

I got to the gym this morning at 530 and I knocked off the 100 Jumping jacks right away. It took me a few mins because I had to stop and catch my breath but I wanted to get that done first.

I just started power 90 this am and the next few days I have a special meal plan for 6 days so I am praying that will give me an awesome weigh in on Sunday am.

I had 2 glasses of water already and my 3rd is on its way down I hope you all have a great day!!!

watrmlon

Do we send in whether or not we completed the daily challenges daily or at the end of the week??

tagrady

At the end of each week, please send me your point total, with your weight in an in-box message. This way any lurkers won't see our point tally!


Here is the new Week 1 Thread. Please put all future posts here.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/305121-gimme-the-skinny-august-challenge-team-21-closed-group

Each Monday, will start a new thread so the posts dont get 12 pages long, and we only see questions pertaining to this that week to avoid confusion.

Also for those having trouble finding the post. Once you comment on the new forum, you can go to your profile tab, and see recent forum posts. That's how I find the thread each time and it's a lot easier than digging it up each time from the huge list in Motivation & support.
