Holy cow. Wow. Gary is certainly going to get us into shape!
Okay, I can reasonably volunteer 10 miles (an additional 2 miles per day).

ohhh...next weeks challenge is no joke, but thats great because I'm booking a cruise for my 5 year anniversary for Labor Day weekend (27 days!!!). Through all the sweat & pain I will just keep reminding myself how much better I am going to look & I won't cringe when I look back at pictures.
Question about the 100 mile walk/run...2 of the challenge days next week we have to add an additional mile to our normal cardio, can we use those 2 extra toward the 100 miles??
If so, I can reasonably contribute 8 miles extra this week, on top of the 10 miles that will be part of my weekly workouts.0 -
Wow. Great Job! -->KNT320

Starting weight August 1.....185.6
Today's weight August 7.....183.0
2.6 pound weight loss!
I will volunteer to walk an extra 12 miles next week. I can do an extra 2 miles per day!!!!!0 -

I personally am going to wait until tomorrow morning & hopefully I can keep the momentum going...0 -

It's so nice to see almost everyone so motivated. Sadly, it's not the case for everyone. We didn't get our bonus 5 points because not everyone on the team did all the challenges. I am the capitain but not a dictator so I need to have your imput on what to do. Keep them around even if it means no chances of winning the competition or drop anyone that does not do the challenge one day. If you want you can answer on this tread or send me a message.
Thank you0 -
squat kicks done. did 100 with 5lb weights.
general question as a newbie here:
how do i take on additional challenges? does the team earn extra points if i do?
also, is there a main thread for all teams in this challenge so i can read up and understand the challenge completely?
thanks!
have an amazing calorie-burning day!!!0 -
If someone is consistanly missing days then hopefully they can drop the challange but if someone has been doing them and just happens to miss one day, I mean life happens and if this challange motivates them then in the long run I think thats more important then winning.
As for other things. I walked an extra 2 miles for the 100 mile thing
did my 50 squat kicks (those were actually kind of fun)0 -

I agree.
As for me I can commit to 10 extra miles this week. The extra miles are not the problem the daily challenges are going to kill me (thanks Gary, you don't play around)0 -
week one weigh in...
sw 139.4
cw 138.4
1 lb...could have been better...could have been worse. :ohwell:
my goal for next week is to lose 2 lbs & I'm hoping with all this extra cardio & crazy challenges...I WILL!
time to get my butt on the treadmill then knock out these kick squats0 -
1. So I'm really confused as to how the weigh ins work..... ? are they on sundays, or mondays? Is it one week from your first weigh in?
Here's how it goes for me:
start at 175
Sunday 173.2
Monday 173.6
Probably better tomorrow...!
2. What if we don't have access to stairs, how are we supposed to climb them on Friday -- can you ask Gary for an alternative? (Sorry, not climbing stairs in dress pants and dress shoes, I'm sure my patients would NOT appreciate a smelly person examining them)
I sent in all my completions from yesterday. As for those not doing challenges -- if they are not doing them multiple times a week, maybe they need motivation? or maybe they are too busy for the challenge. I say take it case-by-case. It's not like winning this challenge is worth big bucks
Thanks and I'll re-post later tonight when I'm sure I've stayed under my cals and completed my exercise! I NEEEDD to get out of this hospital now 0 -
oh, and do we submit recipes on this group forum? or the total challenge forum?0

RECIPE:
Roasted Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)
Makes about 4 half cup servings
Cal-126 Protein-6 Carbs-13 Fat-6 Sodium-193 Fiber-3
1 can S&W low sodium garbanzo beans
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash or other no salt seasoning
Pre-heat oven to 400 F.
Rinse garbanzo beans in cold water. Pat the beans dry using several paper towels.
In a bowl, mix beans and oil. Make sure the beans are coated with oil.
Spread beans out on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the beans with seasoning.
Bake in oven for 30 minutes.
Let cool before munching! They should be crispy on outside and kind of still mushy on the inside. They are great as a quick snack or add to a salad instead of croutons.
Enjoy!0 -

The monthly challenge is the August challenge. There is 26 teams!!!! We each have our own tread. The big cheese head is Gary. He is the one doing all the daily challenges. Everyday we have points for logging our calories and drinking at least 64oz of water.
The 100 miles challenge is an additional challenge issued this week. It means that in addition of your everyday workout, as a team we try to walk, run, rollerblade or limp 100 miles more!!! For additional points. 0 -
