    I did all 1000 crunches! Took me 33 minutes. I just kept going...

    Ok, Monday and Tuesday were spent helping the wif with her foot. It was really fun and I think I actually burned quite a few calories. But I wasn't able to do my challenges. So, feeling really good tonight I did everything and now I'm caught up. Ah, on to my Leadership and Organizational Behavior essay.

    Okay, so outwit is the logo...

    How about Out Wit the Fat
    or Out Wit da Chubby

    Outwit da Chubby is hilarious!
    And... I think it follows our "Gimme the Skinny" naming pattern. I vote for that one.
    But we should still refer to each other as "Skinnies," of course. ;-)

    Heofon- Way to go dude on the 1000 crunches in one crack! I am 400 away from 1000. I felt really sick this morning and my stomach was really achy so I didn't do my normal 530am workout. Here I am moving around and its just my ab muscles hurting. I thought I was getting sick.

    Today my mom takes the kids til friday at 6pm. So Hubby and I are going on a date with the new motorcycle. Super excited for tonight. Friday we have a huge gathering for my brother in laws wedding on Sat. Then Sat I am gone from 10am to 10pm for the wedding. I think I will live on meal bars until the reception. They didn't hire a photographer so I will be snapping all the photos.

    Have a great THUR!

    WOW Heofon~ 1000 Crunches in 1 sitting???? that's insane!!!!!!!!!

    Kristinmarkist~ Have fun at that wedding & on the bike!!

    I'm leaning towards the outwit the chubby too, i'm already getting idea's for our logo & tag :) On our siggy I can try to show a cast away (chubby person) walking away from tribal circle :bigsmile: Ohhhh how I wish I was in the office more today to work on this!!! I think that would help make up our decision :)

    I reserved a space for our team with Gary & just told him we'd send the name when we had one.

    on another note, my stomach has never looked so flat!!!!!!!!!!!! love crunch week!

    and....i totally caught my husband checking me out last night!

    Heofon~ 1000 Crunches at one time? You are killing me here! WOW! is all I can say.

    Out wit da chubby - Gimme the Skinny ! I love the logo possabilities. Can't wait to see them.

    BUT, then somebody has to tell me how to make it work in my signature. Apparently I am technically challenged with photos on this site.:blushing:

    Question about the crunches.... Can reverse crunches be counted towards the count? I have been doing 25 crunches followed by 25 reverse crunches (while resting the upper abs) but have only been counting the regular crunches. Can my reverses count too? They are crunches after all, just working the lower abs.

    Loving Outwit da Chubby!!

    momma- I think any crunch counts. A crunch is a crunch!

    I agree with kdmallon... any crunch is a crunch, and personally, I think reverse crunches are even harder than regular crunches, so you go, mommaski! :smile:

    lol I like the name "Outwit the Chubbies" good call!

    I've been quiet the past few days due to an insanely crazy workload but I have been keeping up with everything! I have done five days of challenges, have the sixth day to do tonight or tomorrow depending on my time - I will do a two mile run and all my challenges will be met!

    I have definitely lost weight this week and can't wait to give you all my "official" weigh in. I finally broke my plateau in a BIG way...it was a long time coming lol....

    Crunches I have 850 down so far...the other 150 will be totally attainable!

    GO TEAM SKINNY!!

    Have a great weekend everyone!! xox

    Hi guys!

    ok, i've officially worked on this logo for about 5 hours. If no one objects...i've kind of merged the two idea's together. I'm going to use the plain circle for my profile picture and the rectangle in my siggy.

    TEAMOUTWIT-4.jpg

    i'll help anyone put it in their signature that needs help :) and anyone who wants the oval as their profile pic, i can email you the photo. just send me your email address in my in-box.

    we still need one more member guys!!!

    and regarding the design....is anyone offended that we're leaving the fat person behind in the dust? I know i'm running as far away from that person as I can, and I thought it was a nice metaphor... we're officially "outing" the chubby

    thanks guys! Yes, it will be much bigger, I I have to get it to more of a square, so it doesn't get cut off & will play with it.

    AND YOU ARE! Do these consecutively. No stopping to rest, don’t break these into sets! I’ve designed
    this so you can see just how far you’ve come. Many of you would never be able to do all of these in one

    Weekly Team Challenge
    4000 team crunches, 4000 Jumping Jacks and 100 extra miles! This equals about 200 per team for
    crunches and jumping jacks for the week along with an extra 5 miles for each team member! The Last
    part of the team weekly challenge is solicit a friend or family member to join MFP and begin the next
    month’s journey with you. Inspire others that’s easy. The retire portion of the week is about looking
    back at the past 30 days. You have had to retire many old habits, many excuses and reasons why not to
    exercise. It’s time to retire those and move forward to the new you! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATIONS! Keep
    it up as we INSPIRE our circle of influence and RETIRE the old ways! Go Inspirations Go!

  • tagrady

    Hey Skinnies... Gary posted again asking for teams for the September challenge. So far we've had the following people say they want to be on this team again:

    Captain: tagrady
    1) u2fergus
    2) heofon
    3) kdmallon
    4) sharesb
    5) lmmiller1
    6) kcgslp
    7) szczepj
    8) mommaski4
    9)
    10

    We still need two more people to make a team, so who else wants to sign up again for September? Come on... you know you want to... :wink:

    Did calition say she was in? If so, i'll add her to the roster & we'll be complete. We can only have 10 people including the Captain.

    Yup... I just looked back and kristinmkartist said she was in for September (she wrote back after I posted that list) so we should add her name to the siggy. It looks like that makes our new team!
  • tagrady
    tagrady Posts: 172 Member
    Actually you're right, kristinmkartist did say she was in i'll add her to the siggy!

    Calition said she liked the name, but didn't specify if she wanted in. I might be able to get her on another team if she wants on, or we can start a 2nd group, becasue we can only have 10 with the captain included.

    here is the code...... now the secret trick is to change the capital IMG to lowercase img.....that's it.

    If anyone has trouble, you can change your password on your account to something stupid like 1234 for 10 mins for me to go put the siggy in for you, then when i'm done, change your password back to your regular password.

    I promise not to look at your private acct :)
