water wednesday is just drinking 8 glasses, right? i think we should up the ante a bit and say you get 1 point for 8 glasses, but if you double it you get 2 . maybe we can even do that for all of the days, so if someone does 45 minutes of exercise on tri-tuesday they get one point, but if they can do an hour and a half they get 2.

That would work for every day but Monday and Friday (I am not eating 50 grams of Fiber, :noway: )
I like it.
Maybe we can add challenges to Monday and Friday to get double points there too. Just keep in mind that we have people at all different levels of fitness, so we need to make it something that can be adapted for everyone. We want to be pushed, just not get hurt.0 -

yay! yeahhh fiber would definitely be COUNTERproductive haha ouch!
im all for new challenges for mondays and fridays! especially monday, since weighing in is soo simple to do and most of us would do it anyway without the push. it could be move-it monday, and every 30 minutes of exercise could be a point ?
i agree that there are people with differet levels of fitness, but id think it would be prettyyy evenly spread throughout the teams; ie, if theres someone who only can do 30 minutes of exercise at a time there will most likely be someone else who does an hour at the least, ya know?
i just think it would be more fun and really get us moving, since at least on our team, everyone's pulling in the point already, so i think we need more of a challenging challenge!

I like that idea. I also like the idea of adding challenges for Monday and Wednesday because... well, really easy. Maybe something strength training related? Like do x reps of the arm exercise of your choice, etc.?0

ooh i like that! maybe we could make it fridays instead of wednesdays though, i think water is enough of a challenge for most people, and having more than one per day could be confusing. what if fridays were just doing any type of strength training?0 -

oh nevermind, fridays are already fiber... now im getting confused lol i think we should just stick to one challenge per day, but double points0 -

I like the double point idea. One thing about adding challenges is you also have to remember that some of us have a set program already. I know I have a cardio/weight Program I'm doing Monday-Saturday (this is week 1). I think we just make the challages harder each month. So August will be a "easy" challenge month, But by December we should have some crazy challenges. (maybe by then do "two a days" like water intake and free weights fridays)0 -
I like the double points idea. I don't think we should do triple as it might encourage some obsessive/compulsive behaviors, but I'm totally down with doubling. Even for fiber. I might not PERSONALLY double my fiber, but I think it should be available for those who are up to the challenge.
I also think we should up the ante on the challenges for Monday and possibly Friday, too. Strength training (core, arms, legs--resistance or with weights) sounds like an excellent idea.0 -
I like adding challenges on Monday and Friday but I think that we should keep the challenge schedule as it is for August and then make adjustments to the schedule come September.0

120 Oz of water. think thats about all i'm going to report for today. Now where is the nearst restroom?0
-
So on Tuesdays if you exercise 45 minutes you get one point if you double that you get double the points.
Wednesday if you drink 64 oz. you get 1 point if you drink 128 you get 2.
Thursday 100 = 1 point 200 =2 and so on.
We will later add to Monday and Friday so double points can be earned there as well. Is that cool with everyone?
Let me or your team captain know if you have any questions.0 -

Wish I had the drive to do something in the morning. I like my sleep time too much. Going to the gym afterwork to get my 2 points.0 -
WE OFFICIALLY HAVE A PROBLEM!
.... one of Team Thin It To Win It's team members, kitiara47, is off to Honduras for a week. she never let me know that this was happening, and according to her status she logged off for the last time yesterday. I'm not sure what to do about the remaining points and challenges for this week or the weigh in on monday.
thoughts? wvualum thought maybe we could just cancel her out completely and use the average of the remaining team members earned points to fill in her spot for this week and next's. otherwise, we are completely screwed.
what do you all think?0 -

I think you could take her out for the week. wouldn't hurt. just as long as she is aloud to come back once she gets back in country.0 -

Ok, so to look at it, we may have lost a member from Team Abnehmen and WLWP. Bec (rsw84) and Amanda (clsmith1733) haven't been on for 4 days and 8 days respectively. So it might even itself out. Do we have any more casualties, that anyone knows of?0 -

well, we'd have to take her out for this week AND next, and it would cost us at least 7 points.0 -
She did mention that she was going to be gone for a week on her page. I think we should either:
1. Draw names for a random person whose points will count twice
OR
2. Do averages rather than point totals so the missing person doesn't matter.0 -

oohhh hopefully! but then when she comes back we gotta fill the spaces.
what is WITH people?! if you join challenges, stick to them. if youre not serious about it, why get other people involved?
i mean no offense, but this is kind of frustrating when youre in charge of calculating stuff

to be honest, i think if you dont log in at LEAST every three days and report back to your team leader, you should be kicked off the team. 8 days is RIDICULOUS!! i mean, the whole point of a challenge is that you challenge yourself and hold yourself accountable to that challenge daily. missing one or two days is fine, but 5? 8? pushing it. and its annoying to sit around and wait and wonder what we're gonna do...
am i being too harsh?0 -
I agree about committment to challenges. Don't join if you're not serious. Everybody has down days and down times, but yours can't be EVERY day.
I personally think the right way to handle it is like absences from school. If you know you're going to be out for vacay or whatever, give the team a heads up so plans can be made in advance. This is the equivalent of your mom sending a note to the teacher.
If something unforeseen happens (sick, internet outage, lost phone) and you're gone for a few days because of it, we'd need a note to readmit you to school.0 -
